    SAN DIEGO, CA, December 11, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pardee Homes has created a hands-on experience for home shoppers who seek a distinctive new home combined with eco-friendly living. At Brightwater in Pacific Highlands Ranch the LivingSmart Room in the Plan 2 model home is filled with features and options that allow the home shopper to experience the value of green.

"We make the reality of earth-friendly features and options come to life in the Brightwater Demo Room," said Joyce Mason, vice president of marketing for Pardee Homes. "New homes today offer 30% more energy savings than homes built just five years ago, and that is due in part to many of the eco-friendly features that have been developed in recent years. We invite home shoppers to actually see and touch some of the features and options that contribute to saving energy, reducing water usage and providing a healthier environment when they visit the LivingSmart Room."

Inside the LivingSmart Room at Brightwater, home shoppers can see components of the home's infrastructure that they may never have a glimpse of after the home is completed, such as radiant barrier roof sheathing, engineered lumber used for framing and high performance low VOC attic insulation. There are also informative descriptions and videos demonstrating some of the newest technologically advanced energy-efficient amenities that are available in a Pardee home, such as Low-E spectrally selective glass windows, LED lighting, Water Sense plumbing fixtures, a tankless water heater that provides on-demand water circulation, solar electric power system, and plush, stain-resistant carpeting made from recycled materials.

Like all new homes built by Pardee, Brightwater's LivingSmart package of standard and optional features increases energy-efficiency, saves water, provides healthier living, and adds up to a distinctive way of life--one that preserves the land and its precious resources while making the home environment more comfortable and efficient. These new, spacious and sustainably built homes, offer four to five bedrooms, three to four baths, three-bay garages and approximately 2,827 to 3,432 square feet. Three floor plans are available, with pricing from the mid $800,000s.

All plans at Brightwater have formal entries, versatile lofts, a downstairs bedroom and gourmet kitchens with large preparation islands with granite countertops, cabinet recycling centers, convenient under cabinet task lighting, GE and GE Profile mix appliance packages in stainless steel and spacious food storage pantries.
