Open House Review: 63 Thornhurst

Today I am reviewing the Santa Maria model of Stonegate at 63 Thornhurst. The condominium is listed as a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home. I noticed the “third” bedroom lacked a closet so it may serve as an office or den. The main living area is up a flight of stairs, while the garage and indoor laundry closet are found on ground level. Parking for guests is off the street in front of the home.

Asking Price: $609,000
Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 2
Square Footage: 1,400
Lot Size: 1,000 sq ft
Price per Square Foot: $435
Property Type: Residential, Condominium

The home is nicely located on a cul-de-sac street. Through the outer door is a narrow walkway with no roof cover which leads to the home’s front door. I am not sure what purpose of the enclosed walkway serves apart from the building’s curbside aesthetics and just the shape of the unit with respect to the neighboring units.

Open House Review: 6 Quebrada

Today I saw 6 Quebrada, a single level house in Windstream’s gated community. The home is nicely situated on a quiet cul-de-sac street just down the street from the button-coded gate entry. Windstream is divided into three gated sections so it limits the amount of car traffic although pedestrian traffic is not limited between the sections. 6 Quebrada is found in one of the smaller portions that consist of 2 short cul-de-sac streets and just steps from the community pool and Hicks Canyon Trail.

Asking Price: $950,000
Bedrooms: 4
Bathrooms: 2
Square Footage: 1,995
Lot Size: 5,250 sq ft
Price per Square Foot: $476
Property Type: Residential, Single Family

Open House Review: 4 Diamonte

4 Diamante is located on an internal neighborhood street that is one of the only streets that is not a cul-de-sac street, but it bridges between two cul-de-sac streets.   This home sits next to a walking trail and has no direct neighbor to one side, and a green area bordering the backyard. The home would appeal to any family looking to be walking distance to Santiago Hills Elementary School and in close proximity to Sierra Vista Middle School and Northwood High School.
