Newlyweds Overcome Recession with New Home Purchase; Pardee Homes in the Inland Empire Helps Family Back Into a Home at Skycrest

    BEAUMONT, CA, March 09, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The bright, open and airy Plan 1 floorplan at Pardee Homes' Skycrest in master-planned Sundance is the icing on the cake for Charlie Crosby and his wife, Katie, after rebounding from the recession with a new home purchase. This former Beaumont resident is excited to be a homeowner once again in a community that offers convenience to his job which alternates between Riverside and Palm Springs, great neighbors and the perfect floorplan for this newlywed couple.

Inspired by a family illness that hit during the recession, Charlie went back to school and became a Respiratory Care Practioner. His new job brought him together with his wife and this 'can do' couple came to Sundance on a whim after a Cabazon shopping trip. Despite having lost a home to a short sale, Charlie was not deterred as he entered the sales process with an open mind. Skycrest had recently opened and with guidance from the Pardee team the Crosbys were able to buy the first house in the second phase of this popular neighborhood and move in before Thanksgiving.

"The house and community sold itself," said Crosby. "This floorplan is perfect with its great room adjacent to the kitchen and dining room which opens up onto our fabulous covered patio. We opted for a den which serves as a music room and the oversized attic storage space makes a great man cave. The extra bedroom and bath are ideal for family visitors and the kitchen island is super important to Katie, who loves to bake. It's all coming together as we complete our backyard landscape and look forward to the opening this spring of The Highlands neighborhood pool and park, which are located within walking distance of our new home."

Priced from the mid $300,000s Skycrest offers one- and two-story designs that anticipate everyday practicality while allowing for personalized spaces. With three to six bedrooms, three to four baths and approximately 2,243 to 3,012 square feet, these homes feature great room living, lofts, covered patios, dining rooms and options for dens, game rooms, office/hobby rooms and a fifth bedroom or Pardee's GenSmart Suite.

"The Plan 1 at Skycrest is a spacious and hard-to-find single-story home with four bedrooms and a three-bay garage," said Matt Sauls, vice president of marketing and product development for Pardee Homes. "It is also available as a three-bedroom home with a den and an amazing optional storage/attic area that is designed to add convenient extra storage space and versatility. This home has remarkable possibilities for families of all sizes, just like the Crosbys."

Skycrest also boasts big kitchen islands with room for seating, convenient kitchen pantries, built-in stainless steel GE appliances, roomy laundry rooms with plenty of storage space and remarkable master bedroom suites with large walk-in closets.
