Reno’s best kept secret is actually hidden in plain sight. Tucked away in a quiet enclave, Mountain View Estates is a unique urban masterpiece affording both a quiet, scenic lifestyle and the convenience of City Life. Just minutes from the bright lights and excitement of downtown and just a short distance from superb shopping, dining, and even higher education (UNR and Truckee Meadows Community College), this community has managed to truly combine the best of both worlds.
            Unrivaled for its inimitable combination of location and design, this stunning master planned community features unusual streetscapes, quiet cul-de-sacs, and terraced homesites that not only preserve the breathtaking views but create a charming setting for a wonderful lifestyle.
            “It’s a community with tremendous character,” observes Mountain View Estates Sales Manager, John Wolf. “The homes terrace down the hillside affording dramatic elevation changes and preserving the views of the surrounding mountains.”
            Featuring six distinctive residences and a total of eight floor plans to choose from, Mountain View Estates homes range in size from 1,364 to over 2,955 square feet. With prices starting in the high $200’s, Mountain View Estates is a tremendous value for buyers looking for quality construction at prices they can afford, without having to leave the city.
            “We expect to see a lot of young families either looking to purchase their first home or upgrade to a larger, more spacious home. If its bang for your buck you’re looking for, you won’t find a better deal this close to town,” says Wolf.
            Every detail of this community has been meticulously planned so it’s not surprising that the homes themselves should be designed with the same attention to detail. For example, no vinyl flooring is found anywhere in any plan. Flooring is either plush carpeting or 12” x 12” ceramic tile.
Kitchens, traditionally the hub of family life, are designed to accommodate this lifestyle at Mountain View Estates. Spacious, with generous islands and opening up to the family room, these culinary centers offer rich cabinetry, five stack shelving in the large pantry, sleek 12” x 12” ceramic tile flooring, and a deluxe GE appliance package including self-cleaning range, dishwasher and microwave with extended warranty.
 “We wanted to offer product with standard features that home buyers can be proud of, without feeling the need to spend thousands of dollars on upgrades,” adds Construction Manager Jim Uchytil. “From floor coverings to faucets, we went a step further to ensure that these homes stand out in the market place.”
Among other standard features found at Mountain View Estates are elegant sheetrock interiors with bull nose corners, high quality dual pane vinyl windows, stucco exteriors and front yard landscaping with automatic sprinklers.
All homes feature the warm and aesthetics of a natural gas, direct-vent fireplace with beautiful decorator surrounds. Baths offer beautiful cabinetry accented by tile surrounds and feature the Moen® Eva Series of excellent fixtures.
            Right now presents a particularly impressive opportunity for buyers and REALTORS®, because for a limited time, during the pre-construction phase Mountain View Estates is offering a tremendous upgrade package absolutely free. Buyers will get Granite Slab Countertops, concrete tile roofs, upgraded kitchen appliances, upgraded cabinets and upgraded faucets and accessories.
            “Our introductory pricing and upgrade incentives make this a hard opportunity to pass up,” adds Wolf. “First and foremost, it’s a tremendous value for buyer clients. For example, our 2,859 square foot residence, heavily upgraded, starts at $126/foot. Secondly, it’s a great opportunity for agents in that we are cooperating at 4% and utilizing First Horizon Home Loan’s One Time Close Construction Lending product which allows agents to get paid as soon as the loan closes. There’s no waiting for the home to be finished.”
            “We’re extremely pleased to be partnering with First Horizon Home Loan, one of the area’s finest and most reputable bankers,” Wolf continues. “They offer a great product, excellent service, and are very competitive. It was important for us to find a lender that would add to a positive home buying experience for future residents of Mountain View Estates, and we found it at First Horizon.”
            Rarely does a community so successfully combine the solitude and privacy of suburban living with mid-city convenience. Mountain View Estates, it would seem is the exception that proves the rule. Perhaps the only caveat is that these incredibly priced homes that include such a bounty of superb upgrades simply cannot last, so time is of the essence.
