    SAN DIEGO, CA, March 16, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pardee Homes is pleased to announce that the final homes have been released for sale at Verana, located just east of Carmel Valley in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Showcasing Pardee's exclusive GenSmart Suite , Verana is one of the company's most successful new home neighborhoods with a total of 68 homes sold to date.

"In just one year Verana has consistently shined as a top seller," said Liz Ramirez, regional director of marketing for Pardee Homes. "These impressive two-story homes, with two- and three-bay garages feature open, airy floorplans and space-enhancing outdoor rooms that easily capture the coastal lifestyle of Pacific Highlands Ranch."

Priced from the high $900,000s, three floor plans are offered, ranging from approximately 2,645 to 3,518 square feet with four to five bedrooms and three to four baths. Great room living is complemented by casual and formal dining areas, big gourmet kitchens with convenient food prep and eating islands, lofts, optional offices, first floor en suite bedrooms and optional extended covered patios/outdoor rooms.

The impressive kitchens include granite slab countertops, extended-height cabinetry with convenient under-cabinet task lighting and GE Monogram appliances in stainless steel including a built-in microwave oven, built-in 30" double oven with convection over thermal and 36" five-burner cooktop with high-performance vent hood.

Verana features Pardee's exclusive GenSmart Suite allowing homebuyers to select a floor plan that includes another home inside with its own entrance and spaces for living, sleeping and eating. The optional GenSmart Suite creates exciting new opportunities to 'house' family and friends for short visits and extended living arrangements.

"Our LivingSmart program, which is designed to offer added value to the homes at Verana, may provide homeowners with lower energy and water bills and greater indoor comfort," added Ramirez. "Water-thrifty appliances, tankless water heaters, kitchen recycling centers and the use of low VOC (volatile organic compound) materials are among the LivingSmart standards. Buyers can also add such options as photovoltaic systems for in-home solar power on select properties and whole house water filtration."

Among the available homes is a Plan 2 (Homesite 30) with four bedrooms, three and one-half baths, a den/office, spacious loft, and three-bay tandem garage. This spectacular move-in ready home has a fireplace, shutters, modern flooring including wood, tile and carpet, and is pre-wired for solar.

Surrounded by 1,300 acres of preserved natural habitat, Pacific Highlands Ranch demonstrates the principles of LivingSmart beautifully with remarkably energy-efficient homes, drought-tolerant landscaping and a multi-use trail system for hiking and biking. Neighborhood shopping is at The Village, home to Trader Joe's, Rite-Aid, Crunch Fitness, Baked Bear , Panera Bread , Dolce Pane e Vino, Pure Barre , Revive Salon & Spa and other food, clothing, specialty, convenience, medical and dental tenants. The center will soon celebrate the openings of several gourmet restaurants including CRUDO by nationally-acclaimed chef Pascal Lorange and Westroot, a new tavern restaurant concept by the Verant Group. When complete, The Village also will include five acres of park and amenities space, a public library and apartment homes.

The community is served by many private schools and the highly-rated Del Mar Union School District for public schools such as Ashley Falls Elementary School. The San Dieguito Union High School District's Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy serve older students and there are two middle schools in the area --- Carmel Valley Middle School and the new Pacific Trails Middle School.
