Stone trimmed fireplaces are also common on the upper levels, along with a second laundry. Terraces come ready for summer cookouts with gas grill hook ups installed.

The chef’s kitchens have a high end appliance package plus a butler’s pantry and island for extra seating or cook space. Developer Metropolitan Enterprises is offering buyers an unbelievable choice of finishes for the kitchen, like 50 different cabinet styles in 12 wood varieties and the option to pick which kind of granite tops the counters. As for tile, the 500 marble types should have a winner.

Brazilian cherry hardwood covers many of the floors, the entire home is wired for security, sprinkler systems are installed, there is a roomy two car garage attached to each home, and the front yards are fenced in, which is great for children or pets.

The location is prime, with the shopping, entertainment and restaurant center of the city only a couple of blocks away. Metropolitan Enterprises is even rejuvenating a city park next to the development.
