Today I am reviewing one of two Open Houses on Kimbal. They are both the same model but 75 Kimbal is priced lower, reasonably so, since this home does not have as many of the upgrades found in the other model. Let’s explore this property first.
The basics:
Asking Price: $1,300,000
Bedrooms: 4
Bathrooms: 4
Square Footage: 2,650
$/Sq Ft: $ 491
Property Type: Single Family Residence
Year Built: 2015
Community: Stonegate
HOA: $120/month
Mello Roos: Yes
Jade at Parasol Park is a collection of detached condominiums built by Pulte. There are four distinct models, three of which have an optional “x” layout that includes a third floor. Jade is located just south of Magnet and east of Ridge Valley, with additional future developments planned for the land to the south. There will be 64 homes ranging from 1,607 – 2,746 square feet. The “garden court” homes have garages off a shared motor court and their front doors off a shared walkway, with most motor courts serving six houses. Homes have from 2 – 4 bedrooms and 2.5 – 3.5 bathrooms. Each house has a two-car garage. All plans have three elevations: Gill, Schindler, and Wright.
The Great Park’s newest neighborhood, Parasol Park, opened several new collections in December. The next few collections are slated to open in mid-January. Parasol Park is between Cadence (at the south end of Beacon Park) and Great Park Boulevard, with most homes planned to be on the east side of Ridge Valley. The entire neighborhood will have over 725 homes, all of which are condominiums (some attached, some detached). There will be ten different home collections, though they haven’t announced a name or builder for the 10th, which is supposed to open in the spring.

The Woodside tract and neighboring Park Paseo have seen a lot of homes sell for over $1,000,000 in recent months. However, this home is a little smaller than those, so the original price point did seem too high. The house is painted a dull beige color, but has newer windows and a newer concrete tile roof. The vinyl front doors are new as well and have gold hardware.
