Two Families, One Home Equals Smart Solution for Skycrest Homebuyers; Pardee Homes' GenSmart Suite the Perfect Fit for Extended Families

    BEAUMONT, CA, August 13, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The bright, open and airy Skycrest Plan 3 with Pardee Homes' exclusive GenSmart Suite became the perfect solution for the Arnett family and parents/grandparents, Barry and Cindy Overholt. Jon and Sheri Arnett along with their two children thought they were ready for a smaller home when they discovered Skycrest in master-planned Sundance in Beaumont.

"With my parents along for support during the home buying search, something just clicked when we toured Skycrest and saw the GenSmart Suite , said Sheri Arnett. "Rather than buying a smaller home we determined we could buy a home that accommodates two families. My parents are an integral part of our every-day life and help immensely with the care of our two children, especially 12-year old Timothy with special needs. As grandparents they love being with our children and were constantly going back and forth from their home in Beaumont to ours to help out. The idea of having a home to share was an interesting solution that we had not considered until we visited the beautiful and versatile homes at Skycrest."

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 3B, available with two unique GenSmart Suite options--either downstairs in lieu of bedroom five and the fourth-bay garage --- or on the second floor with downstairs access and in lieu of the bonus room.

"We are really enjoying our new living situation," said Cindy Overholt. "It's wonderful to say goodnight every night to our grandchildren and then close the door to our own space. There is enough room for all six of us and we love it."

Sheri Arnett added that her parents have always been involved, especially with the extra help needed in caring for Timothy. "This is more convenient for them too and has been a very positive experience. We know that the GenSmart Suite is great fit now and in the future whether we use it for our parents, as a home for Timothy as he gets older, or even live-in help." As for the home itself, the Arnett and Overholt families agree that they love the open living space of the great room and kitchen and how it easily extends to the covered outdoor room. "This extended room is great for our family and makes multi-tasking easy."
