Taylor Morrison Houston Building First Townhome Community in Sugar Land, TX: Enclave at Lake Pointe on Banks of Historic Oyster Creek

    HOUSTON, TX, June 08, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Taylor Morrison has announced plans for Enclave at Lake Pointe, its first townhome community in the Houston area. Enclave at Lake Pointe will feature 64 detached, 3-story townhomes priced from the $470,000s. Most of the townhomes in the gated enclave will back up to historic Oyster Creek just north of Fluor's corporate office in Lake Pointe Town Center in Sugar Land, TX.

Lake Point Town Center is a 190-acre, mixed-use development offering upscale shopping, fine restaurants, and health care facilities. Whole Foods, Post Oak Grille, and St. Luke's Hospital are within walking distance. The center is located at the north corner of the intersection of U.S. Highway 59 and State Highway 6, and west of Sugar Lakes Drive in Sugar Land, TX.

Presales at Enclave at Lake Pointe are being handled from Avalon at Telfair. The Calistoga model is scheduled to open in mid July.

The Brownstone Series features four plans with 3,249 to 3,464-square-feet. The 3- and 4-bedroom plans offer buyers a variety of options, including 2-person elevators from the first floor. Covered back patios and balconies are standard.

"With three levels, we knew some families would want an elevator, especially multi-generational families. That's why we have an elevator design for each plan. Covered patios, balconies, morning rooms and sitting areas expand living space outdoors and accent the urban lifestyle," said Amy Haywood-Rino vice president of sales and marketing for Taylor Morrison Houston.

In three of the floor plans the first floor has an entry foyer and a large multipurpose space. The first floor can be accessed from the front door or from the 2-car garage. The Calistoga model features a recreation room and media room with a half-bath option on the first floor.

Active living areas--kitchen, family room and formals--are located on the second floor. Sleeping quarters are on the third floor; but options for additional bedrooms and baths are available in each plan. In the Rutherford, the master suite is on the first floor, the third floor has a recreation room, media room, a bedroom and bathroom with optional configurations available.

According to Haywood-Rino, each plan has four elevations featuring a combination of stucco and stone, window styles, and tiled roofs. The back yards will have wrought iron fences along Oyster Creek. Amenities include community green spaces, an outdoor waterfront gazebo and a dog park.

Wood flooring and ceramic tile are being used extensively throughout most of the plans. Other high-end features include granite countertops, stainless steel built-in appliances, crown molding and an interactive high-tech package. The Taylor Morrison Interactive Home package at Enclave at Lake Pointe includes front door monitoring, cameras, intercom, messaging and home audio--all accessible via a home interface panel, smart phones and tablets. An interactive home package is currently included in all Taylor Morrison homes in the Houston area.
