    SAN DIEGO, CA, April 28, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pardee Homes is pleased to announce that the model homes and final phase release at Verana are now available for preview and purchase. Showcasing Pardee's exclusive GenSmart Suite, Verana, located just east of Carmel Valley in Pacific Highlands Ranch, is one of the company's most successful new home neighborhoods to be built in the past year in this coveted coastal-close location.

"This unique opportunity to purchase an upgraded, designer appointed model home could be a dream come true for three motivated buyers," said Liz Ramirez, regional director of marketing for Pardee Homes. "Spacious and highly upgraded, the model homes are filled with fabulous designer touches and two of the homes include Pardee's exclusive GenSmart Suite offering a separate and private space for living, sleeping and eating that easily accommodates family and friends for short visits or extended living arrangements. You'll also find that the models have fabulous extended patio covers and outdoor rooms, upgraded flooring and kitchen appliances, and exquisite landscaping.

"Verana has consistently shined as a top seller with its open, airy floorplans and space-enhancing outdoor rooms that easily capture the coastal lifestyle of Pacific Highlands Ranch."

Priced from the high $900,000s, these impressive two-story homes, with two- and three-bay garages range 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 and first floor en suite bedrooms.

The gourmet 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.

"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."

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. Future proposed plans of The Village 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.
