Ryland offers move-in specials

Ryland Homes' Augusta, a gated neighborhood inside Mountain's Edge, a southwestern master-planned community, features large family rooms and private master suites.

"Augusta is one of the most luxuriously appointed neighborhoods in Ryland Homes' portfolio," sales agent Paula Farrell said. "The quality of the finishes and materials are top of the line, and the square footage is extremely generous."

She said the home builder is offering some homes in the mid-$400,000s, compared to the regular prices in the new neighborhood, which start in the low $500,000s.

These homes also are ready for immediate move-in.

The homes feature granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry and butler's pantries in the kitchens; upgraded tile and carpet; and built-in appliances. Augusta offers three floor plans -- Shasta, Gilmore and Everest. These three- to five-bedroom plans offer backyards, plus options for up to seven bedrooms and from three to 4 1/2 baths.

Shasta is a single-story home of three bedrooms and three baths in 2,508 square feet. This design features a master bedroom suite with a rotunda at the front of the home.

Additionally, the plan offers formal living and dining rooms, a breakfast nook, family room, den and three-car garage. Options include a fourth bedroom, three-sided fireplace and patio.

Gilmore is a two-story home with five bedrooms and three baths in 3,413 square feet. It has a breakfast nook, family, dining, living and bonus rooms and playroom, as well as a three-car garage.

Options include a sixth bedroom with bath, fitness room and patio. Everest, the largest of the plans at 4,262 square feet, offers five bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths in two stories.

There is a breakfast nook along with living, dining, bonus and family rooms and a two-car garage. Options include a "granny suite" with its own entrance, deck and additional bedrooms or fitness room.

Ryland's My Style Design Center offers a selection of designer upgrades and decorating enhancements, everything from floor coverings and window treatments to counters and cabinets.
