Sommerset to open in Henderson this weekend

Lennar will hold a grand opening for its Sommerset community in Henderson from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. today and Sunday.

"This community, really is the 'whole package," said Christina Mayer, Lennar new-home consultant. "It offers our most desirable floor plan styles plus a location that is incredible -- these are the best of the best. All you have to do is pick the one that is perfect for you and your family."

The neighborhood presents a single-story home and Lennar's Next Gen -- the home within a home.

Sommerset is near the Heritage Park Aquatic Complex and the Henderson Multigenerational Center.

The four distinctive homes at Sommerset range from 2,343 to 3,487 square feet of living space, and have as many as five bedrooms, three-car garages and sit on pool-size lots.

Also available at Sommerset is Lennar's new Next Gen home floor plan.

"These home have been designed specifically for multigenerational living and are a huge hit with homebuyers," said Jeremy Parness, the company's division president. "These are not dual master suites or a casita, this is an entirely additional living space -- literally a home within in a home -- we invite everyone to see this revolutionary home firsthand."

The private suite portion is situated on the first floor. Each suite includes a separate entrance, living space, kitchenette with GE refrigerator, microwave and steel sink, private bedroom, full bath, standard washer and dryer, one-car garage and an intimate outdoor living space. Plus, Timberlake 42-inch maple cabinetry and upper crown molding are included in the price of the home.

Lennar designed this unique floor plan to be incorporated into the main home in a way that allows it to be a separate space but also offers direct access from the main house, convenient for any multigenerational or dual-adult living situation.

All of the homes come with Everything's Included features such as granite-slab kitchen countertops and upgraded maple cabinetry throughout the home.

In addition, the homes also have several high-tech, energy-efficient features that are included in the price. Some are the Lennar Home Automation by Nexia Home Intelligence, low volatile organic compound paint, radiant-barrier roof sheathing and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star rated appliance. All of these homes are Energy Star certified and include modern green technology that saves thousands of dollars on energy bills each year, according to Parness.

Lennar will hold a Dream Home Event and Food Truck Challenge from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. March 3 in southwest Las Vegas on the corner of Fort Apache and Sunset roads in the Fresh and Easy shopping center. Have lunch and vote for your favorite food truck. Plus, experts will be onsite to answer any questions about how to own a home. UAMC mortgage and Nova Home Loans consultants will be available to assist with necessary resources for improving credit and providing information to potential homebuyers.
