    SAN DIEGO, CA, July 10, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A new phase of homes will be released for sale on July 11th at Canterra by Pardee Homes. Canterra offers timeless, easy maintenance living in coastal close Pacific Highlands Ranch. Three bright and airy floor plans feature spacious great rooms, flexible spaces, and private courtyards that add to their fresh appeal.

"At Canterra we are keeping pace with today's trends in new homes that reflect buyer's expectations," said Liz Ramirez, regional director of marketing for Pardee Homes. "Charming, low maintenance outdoor spaces seem to fit with a move towards traditional design elements and a more casual lifestyle. The rear garage is designed to make excellent use of square footage. These four-bedroom homes have proven to be a favorite among home shoppers who are thrilled to discover a unique take on the traditional two-story floorplan."

Priced from the mid $800,000s, Canterra casts a picturesque neighborhood setting, with richly flavored indigenous architectural styles such as Spanish, Coastal, Traditional and Napa. Gourmet kitchens have convenient food preparation and eating islands, granite slab countertops, deep pot/pan drawers, and GE Profile appliances including a 30" convection oven, built-in microwave oven, and Energy Star dishwasher. Homes at Canterra have four bedrooms, three to three and one-half baths and approximately 2,077 to 2,588 square feet.

"Like all the homes at Canterra, the garage is in the rear of the house creating an appealing street scene," added Ramirez. "The private side courtyard and an abundance of windows allow light deep into the home, making this the perfect choice for homebuyers who want unique outdoor living spaces without the responsibility of a large yard."

As a pioneer in green building, Pardee Homes includes the LivingSmart package of standard and optional features that increase energy-efficiency, save water and money, and contribute to the homeowner's long-term peace of mind. Included features such as fluorescent lights, dimmer switches, tankless water heaters, Low-E spectrally selective glass windows, programmable thermostats and pre-wiring for solar are included. Additional optional features such as a solar roof-mounted solar electric system, LED lighting, electric car charging station and reverse osmosis water system in the kitchen are available.

Canterra is located in master-planned Pacific Highlands Ranch, one of San Diego's best coastal-close locations. Surrounded by 1,300 acres of preserved natural habitat, this exciting Pardee Homes community demonstrates the principles of LivingSmart beautifully with remarkably energy-efficient homes, drought-tolerant landscaping and a multi-use trail system for hiking and biking. A future swim club is planned for this area of Pacific Highlands Ranch and is scheduled to open spring of 2016. The neighborhood shopping at The Village Center is growing and includes a brand new Trader Joe's, Panera Bread, Starbucks, Baked Bear and Pure Barre which are now open with several other tenants coming soon.
