BUYERS RAVE ABOUT NEW MODEL AT BAY HARBOR IN HARBOR GATEWAY AS SALES SKYROCKET

Visitors are giving rave reviews to the deluxe new model that opened recently at Bay Harbor, a dynamic new community in the Harbor Gateway area of Los Angeles. Developed by Anastasi Development Company, Bay Harbor is a stunning community of townhomes that offer homebuyers an ideal blend of style and substance, upscale amenities as standard features and a location within walking distance of excellent schools and a beautiful park. Sales are going past record levels as the word is getting out regarding Bay Harbor’s premium residences, reports Pamela Gillett, sales representative for the new community. “We are experiencing unprecedented sales numbers at Bay Harbor,” says Gillett. “The popularity of this wonderful new home community is beyond what we could have envisioned. Many of our satisfied new homeowners are telling their friends and family about Bay Harbor’s quality construction, exceptional attention to detail and superior standard amenities. Those friends and family are in turn lining up to purchase their own fabulous Bay Harbor home. Because of that, Bay Harbor will be an incredible place to live with a built in sense of community that the neighborhood will offer as well as camaraderie between neighbors.

“Homebuyers who were anticipating the opening of the new model were not disappointed,” continues Gillett. “Decorated by an award-winning interior designer, the model highlights Bay Harbor’s prime standard amenities. Some of these wonderful features, which often are costly upgrades at other new home developments, include natural granite slab kitchen countertops, hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances. Even an upgraded refrigerator and washer and dryer are included!” Bay Harbor has homes and features designed to fit any lifestyle. Freeway close, the community is a short distance away from major employment centers such as Long Beach and West Los Angeles. Bay Harbor is also close to all the highly desirable South Bay amenities, including beautiful beaches, unique shops, and world-class restaurants. Yet there is a neighborhood feel that allows residents to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city into a place of peace. It is truly the best of both worlds—an ideal location with limitless appeal, and yet an opportunity to focus on quiet living. Upscale and distinctive, Bay Harbor presents a wonderful collection of townhomes. Offering three bedrooms and two and a half baths each, homes at Bay Harbor are available in a variety of three-story plans and measure from 1,530 to 1,754 square feet. Prices start from the low $500,000s.

“While sales have been fantastic, we still have plenty of marvelous Bay Harbor homes remaining, in a variety of floorplan and location choices,” adds Gillett. “We are also seeing a high number of young couples and families buying because Bay Harbor offers an ideal opportunity for them to start their future with a terrific home in a great area.” The spectacularly appointed homes at Bay Harbor include upgraded standard amenities such as recessed lighting, Low E dual glazed windows, two-tone paint, decora rocker light switches, gas fireplaces, crown molding, and high-efficiency central heating systems that will give buyers a dream home with no need for costly refurbishments. Kitchens feature natural granite slab countertops, food preparation islands, Delta faucet fixtures with chrome finish, European-style maple cabinets with concealed hinges, and a full line of Whirlpool appliances, including refrigerator, gas range stove, and dishwasher. The comfort continues in the elegant master suites, where townhome units feature a Hydro Systems whirlpool tub and double sinks. All master baths feature clear shower enclosures, mirrored medicine cabinets, and Delta faucet fixtures. In addition, all homes come equipped with Whirlpool washers and dryers. Each new home at Bay Harbor is designed to accommodate modern technology needs, with complete wiring for high-speed communication and digital satellite. And because outdoor living is a hallmark of the California lifestyle, every home includes an enclosed landscaped private patio.
