Re-Writing the Definition of Luxury
Clifton, New Jersey (PRWEB) September 30, 2013 -- Luxury. The dictionary defines the word as the state of great comfort and extravagant living, and, on the other hand, as an inessential, desirable item that is expensive or difficult to obtain.
But in the condominiums of Parkwood at Cambridge Crossings in Northern, NJ, the luxury is all about comfort and extravagance that eliminate the second definition by being delightfully affordable and not at all difficult to obtain. This makes it easy to understand why the community is 90-percent sold.
Parkwood is luxury living that starts the minute you arrive home to your private gated-community and enter the grand lobby through your building’s front-door security system. The lobby design of the newest and final building was recently unveiled and marveled buyers. They were impressed with extravagant features such as a pronounced chandelier and immense fireplace. Designer Marie Gravine has once again created a distinctive design delivering a sophisticated look that is elegant and modern with traditional elements.
Parkwood believe that part of what makes a home luxurious is exquisite taste that doesn’t come at an exorbitant cost or require a series of pricey custom add-ons. They designed each home, with standard features, as nothing short of a dream home loaded with sumptuous details—and one whose baseline price is some $30,000 lower than the average condo in similar nearby communities. Now that’s luxury.
What does a home at Parkwood offer that others don’t? The grace notes begin as you enter your home from an intimate elevator lobby though elegant double doors. Immediately you notice the lofty nine-foot ceilings and, in the dining area, decorative tray ceilings. In the living area, a natural-gas fireplace with slate or marble surround adds a rich, inviting focal point that draws the eye.
And at Parkwood, the "standard" kitchen is anything but ordinary. Each unit comes with plenty of granite countertop and stylish stainless steel GE Profile appliances—a self-cleaning gas range, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator—all lit by adjustable recessed lights that help set the mood.
Bathrooms are the place to pamper yourself in spa-like surroundings. The standard master bath includes an oversized tub, double vanity with granite countertop and separate shower. Throughout each unit, windows are double hung for a tight seal and energy efficiency, and equipped with a tilt-in feature for easy cleaning.
"Our buyers are so impressed by what we offer; they just can't stop talking about it and have invited family and friends to share in what they have found here," said Lois Verderese, New Home Specialist. "They are savvy shoppers who have researched the active-adult market thoroughly and have told us no other collection can compare. We have seen an increase in traffic and sales from all the chatter," said Verderese.
It starts with an exceptional location right here in northern New Jersey, close to a vast array of shopping, fine restaurants, convenience centers and businesses. Many of Parkwood’s buyers commute into New York City for work and many enjoy its entertainment and shopping. They love the fact that trains and express buses quickly whisk them into the City. With easy access to the Garden State Parkway, residents can easily commute to any area of the state and even enjoy relaxation down the Jersey Shore.
Verderese continued, "Our buyers find coming home to a maintenance-free lifestyle is so relaxing and more convenient than taking care of their larger, older home. They feel our community is elegant, yet comfortable for this next stage in their lives. From the stylish lobbies to the landscaped property to the on-site amenities, including our Royal Club, there is a wonderful spot for any form of relaxation. Buyers particularly love the clubhouse with heated pool, hot tub, sauna, gym, theater and lounge. It is quickly becoming the hub for socializing."
