Businessman sold on Discovery’s single story

Michael Foster is a man on a mission. The busy executive is constantly on the go, whether he is on his way to the gym, to work, to visit clients or to visit his children in college.

When it came to buying a home in his new hometown, Foster said he applied his business sense to making the best decision.

"I originally was looking for a resale, because that is what I have owned in the past," he said. "I was thinking about value in years to come and knew that a single-story home would be the best way to go. I had actually been looking at short sales when I stumbled upon Breckenridge by Discovery Homes and found that it was the best value anywhere for a single-story home."

Foster chose the Sofia floor plan at Breckenridge.

This single-story home offers 2,227 square feet including three bedrooms, two full baths, a great room, porch and a two-car garage.

This home's oversized master bedroom includes a bay window and a large walk-in closet. In addition to large master bedrooms, porches, private courtyards and up to three-car garages are available in the Breckenridge collection.

"I fell in love with the floor plan," Foster said. "And after meeting the staff at the sales office, along with the builder himself, I knew that the company's concept and business model were ones I could believe in. Plus, this home has the largest square footage for the price anywhere in Las Vegas."

Foster recently moved into his new Discovery Home at Mountain's Edge and said he couldn't be happier.

"It's a great neighborhood, nice and quiet," Foster said. "I really like the large community park and am planning on getting involved in the homeowner's association. It's also in a very central location, and since I am always out and about with my work, it's convenient. I'm always jetting off to California to visit my family, so being close to the airport is nice, too."

Discovery Homes one of the few communities with a gated entrance at Mountain's Edge, giving residents an additional level of privacy. Six unique designs in the Cascade and Breckenridge collections range from 2,227 to 4,147 square feet with pricing starting in the low $200,000s, or as low as $75 per square foot.

"These are beautiful, spacious homes on sites that are generally large enough for a pool," said Gail vanDeursen, sales associate. "If you need more room in your home and enjoy outdoor entertaining, this is the perfect community for you.

The builder is providing up to 3 percent in nonrecurring closing costs to homebuyers using its preferred lender. And every home is built with standard luxury features including granite countertops, energy-efficient construction and designer-selected beech cabinetry.

Mountain's Edge is the perfect community for nature enthusiasts and has devoted more than 500 of its 3,500 acres to community parks and recreation. It is surrounded by mountains and less than a 15-minute drive from Red Rock Canyon, Spring Mountain Ranch and Bonnie Springs.
