If you have not yet visited Tuscany by Triangle premier home builder ForeverHome, expect to be impressed with this exciting new home community in Clayton. Located off NC42 East, Tuscany comprises three alluring neighborhoods: Meadows at Tuscany, 2,040- to 2,750-square-foot homes from the $150,000s; Reserve at Tuscany, 2,935 to 3,398-square-foot homes from the low $200,000s; and Estates at Tuscany, 3,359- to 3,779-square-foot homes from $299,900.

A stone-crafted monument surrounded by towering hardwoods welcomes visitors and residents alike to the gently rolling landscape of Tuscany, while a charming entry lane leads past a community recreation center and into the heart of this special community. Even before venturing inside its exceptional homes, one can easily see why Tuscany's Parade Home was voted the "Best Value in Johnston County" in the 2010 Johnston County Parade of Homes event.

"Tuscany does offer outstanding value," says Jimmy Swann, Fonville Morisey & Barefoot sales associate at Tuscany. "Let's start with our location. Besides being just 20 minutes from downtown Raleigh, we're convenient to 264, I95, I40, and US70. A grocery store and farmers market are just a mile away, and both outlet malls and quaint antique shops are within minutes. We're close to everything, yet our taxes are low, our home prices are extremely reasonable and our schools are some of the best in the Triangle. Customers have told us time and again that after doing their homework, they feel their best value is Tuscany. With over 70 homes sold here in barely over a year, the numbers speak for themselves . . .Tuscany is truly value-packed."

"The partners at ForeverHome have been in the home building industry for a long time," Jimmy continues. "They know what they're doing. Their experience, coupled with the relationships they've built with vendors allow them to offer beautiful new Energy Star certified homes at excellent prices. Most high volume builders offer very little in the way of selection for home owners. ForeverHome offers terrific included features as well as a multitude of choices."

A sampling of Tuscany's included features are hardwood flooring in foyers and powder rooms; extensive foyer moldings and trimwork; 9-ft. first-floor ceilings; 42-inch kitchen cabinetry; designer laminate kitchen counters with backsplash and rounded edges; GE appliances; trey ceilings in master bedrooms; and luxury master bathrooms. Exterior features include brick, cultured stone, and low maintenance vinyl or beaded siding in muted, environmentally-friendly colors; covered front porches per plan; backyard patios or decks; two-car garages; and sodded yards with appealing streetscape shrubbery.

"Our exteriors at Tuscany are inviting and our floor plans are open and great for entertaining," states Mark Ward, ForeverHome Partner. "Customers tell us they love the spacious rooms and the flow of our plans. One of our primary goals at ForeverHome is to provide features for the way people really live in their homes, at a reasonable cost. Our sales have been strong at Tuscany. Home buyers are responding to what we're offering."

"Although The Meadows offer exceptional opportunities, our Reserve and Estate neighborhoods are very special," Jimmy comments. "The Reserve offers 4- to 5-bedroom, 2.5- to 4-bath homes with features such as downstairs master bedrooms or guest suites. The Estates include 4- to 6-bedroom/3.5- to 4.5-bath homes with features such as downstairs master bedrooms, studies and tech areas. These plans offer wonderful function and flow, with numerous appealing details."

In addition to well-built homes, Tuscany offers a recreation center, a tremendous value for homeowners. This facility features a spacious clubhouse, a junior Olympic pool, a children's splash pool with a mushroom fountain, an adjoining playground and plenty of outdoor space for community gatherings.

"Our homeowners love our amenities," says Jimmy. "The pool opened last summer and the clubhouse was recently completed. Residents also like the fact that we have natural areas and preserved land throughout the community."

"Many residents have relocated from other areas, so neighbors have become extended family members," Jimmy adds. "It's refreshing to see the way everyone interacts. Tuscany is just a great place to live!"

Raleigh real estate broker Jo Ann Gardner of Real Estate Resource Team agrees with Jimmy's comments. "I enjoy taking my clients to ForeverHome communities," says Jo Ann. "ForeverHome is very smart in its practices and in its approach to the way the market has shifted. It's providing the right product at the right price in the right areas. Tuscany is an excellent example of the company's success in meeting customer needs."
