Terra Bella offers views and designs

High quality design with views of the city is what sold Carol Ann and Thomas Beers on Terra Bella, one of the luxury condominium community's first residents.

The Beers bought the Terra Bella's Tuscan model, a 1,820 square-foot home which includes two bedrooms, 21/2 baths, den, kitchen island, large walk-in closets and an outdoor terrace.

"I really like the layout of this floor plan," Carol Ann Beers said. "It's perfect for us. The kitchen and living room are very open while the bedrooms are quiet and private. We also have an incredible view of the city from our terrace."

Beers, who is hearing-impaired, volunteers for the Deaf Seniors of America. She is serving as registrar for the organization's annual conference, being held in Las Vegas this coming June. The event is the largest of its kind with more than 2,000 expected attendees.

"Our son helped us find Terra Bella and we're so glad he did," Beers said. "It is everything we wanted in a new home."

The Beers' son, Gary Stein, lives in Austin, Texas and formed a close relationship with Terra Bella sales manager George Trummeter.

"Gary, like many homeowners at Terra Bella, was amazed that such quality construction and design was available in a condominium community exclusively for active adults," Trummeter said. "Every detail has been planned to make it the perfect place to not only live, but enjoy life."

Another couple, Robert and Jeannie Larson, that moved to Terra Bella agreed.

"We were tired of taking care of yards and wanted a place where we could feel comfortable locking the door and leaving to travel," Robert Larson said.

Within the gated community, a fitness center and clubhouse that include a work-out facility, entertainment areas and full kitchen, are available to residents and their guests.

Additional amenities include a resort-style swimming pool and spa, landscaped grounds, covered barbecue cabanas and an outdoor covered patio at the clubhouse with lounge areas and a fire place.

Terra Bella continues its re-grand opening celebration today and Sunday with incentives offered to homebuyers.

"Terra Bella was purchased out of foreclosure by Blue Marble Development," Trummeter said. "We are passing the savings along to you by offering the price advantage of a foreclosure without all the hassle of dealing with the banks."

Blue Marble is also providing a 3 percent broker co-op as well as a one-year social membership to Anthem Country Club with every home purchased. Prices start in the low $200,000s and association fees are $205 per month and include water, trash and sewer.

Terra Bella is the only luxury condominium development exclusively for age-qualified adults in Anthem.

Anthem is a 5,000 acre community that includes golf courses, trails, recreation areas, shopping centers and landscaped common areas.

Terra Bella's five floor plans range from 1,400 to 2,200 square feet. The gated neighborhood includes open kitchens with granite counter tops and all units include enclosed garages.

Terra Bella's sales office and model homes are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. To visit, take Eastern Avenue south to the entrance of the Anthem master plan. Veer left at Anthem's entrance and continue to Hampton Road. Turn west on Hampton Road and look for Terra Bella's sales office on the left.
