Award-Winning Community and Traditional Two-Story Homes by Pardee Make Manzanita Trail the Ideal New Home Choice in San Diego

    SAN DIEGO, CA, October 13, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Searching for the classic, two-story home? Pardee's Manzanita Trail in Pacific Highlands Ranch features four spacious two-story floor plans, including two homes that offer traditional designs with extra garage space to accommodate cars, bikes, and all the things that make life in California fun and appealing.

"Plans 3 and 4 at Manzanita Trail are the quintessential California homes, with spacious floor plans, classic architectural styling and eco-friendly features and options," said Rachel Collins, director of sales for Pardee Homes. "Both homes have that coastal California attitude--indoor-outdoor living at its best in a location that makes getting to the beach a breeze. Plan 3 has an inviting front porch and a graceful, sweeping staircase that leads to a second floor loft. Plan 4 boasts a fabulous open family room, nook and kitchen and a versatile two-bay plus swing garage."

Although Manzanita Trail is designed to appeal to a variety of homebuyers by offering floor plans that easily adapt to families of all sizes, these two floor plans have proven to be popular with growing families.

Priced from the low $700,000s, Manzanita Trail's charming street scene and spaciously designed floor plans are accented with authentic Napa Valley, California Craftsman, Coastal Cottage and Spanish architecture. Homes have three to six bedrooms, two and one-half to four baths, and two-bay tandem and three-bay garages. Square footage ranges from approximately 2,357 to 3,218 square feet. All four floor plans include a downstairs bedroom and such amenities as ceramic tile flooring, fireplaces, dramatic ceilings, high-speed Category 5 wiring and coaxial cable, spacious food storage pantries, gourmet kitchens with convenient food preparation islands and GE or GE Profile Mix appliance packages in stainless steel.
