Tuscany Village in Henderson offers amenities for summer

Summer has officially kicked into high gear in Southern Nevada, and Dunhill Homes is making life a splash at its Tuscany Village master plan in Henderson. With dozens of amenities including large community pools and an award-winning golf course, Tuscany Village is the place to beat the heat this summer.

"More than anything, home shoppers are looking for convenience and amenities when they embark on their new-home search," said Marina Petric, sales agent at Tuscany Village. "There is no other community in Henderson that offers so many amenities and benefits for such a low monthly fee. Not only does Tuscany Village offer residents exclusive use of its multimillion dollar recreational facility, but also a 24-hour guard-gated entrance, 50 channels of cable television and no special improvement fees like most other communities require."

Dozens of indoor and outdoor activities are offered to residents every day. From relaxing at the pool or playing tennis to working out in the gym or taking a class, residents have many choices for fitness and fun.

"And, of course, convenience is top-of-mind with 12 beautifully designed floor plans, six of which are single story," Petric said. "You will not find more options for single-story living in Henderson than at Tuscany Village. Each home is unique and offers additional options for personalization."

Among Tuscany Village's flexible single-story plans is the Roma 1810, which measures 1,810 square feet and includes two bedrooms, two baths and a home office. Options include a three-car garage on selected home sites, powder room, third bedroom and a fireplace.

"This is the perfect plan for those who want a single-story home, but still want the private areas that a two story offers," Petric said. "The home office is in the far front of the home adjacent to the garage and front entry, so it is completely separate from the main living areas. And the master suite is to the rear of the home with an option for its own back patio."

Six other single-story plans at Tuscany Village range from 1,215 to 2,683 square feet with prices starting in the $150,000s.

In addition to Dunhill Homes' La Vita Tuscana recreation center, Tuscany Village is home to an award-winning golf course set within the rolling hills of the area. Designed by renowned golf course architect Ted Robinson, the groomed fairways and greens offer a challenge to any level player. The course has twice been named Golf Magazine's No. 1 golf course in Las Vegas in its annual BBQ (Bang for the Buck) quotient. It is open to residents and the public.

"During the summer months, the golf course also offers special pricing for early tee times, and recently introduced a brand-new outdoor patio with a kitchen and barbecue at the club," Petric said. "Our golfers are in heaven when they spend the morning on the greens and the afternoon with a cold beverage at the club."

The resort lifestyle continues at La Vita Tuscana with a full-size gym, equipped fitness center, aerobics room, basketball and racquetball courts, among other indoor fitness options. Outside, residents and their families enjoy a 25-meter lap pool, a resort-style pool, oversized spas, large covered cabanas, lighted tennis courts, basketball courts, abundant walking trails and a children's playground.

All floor plans at Tuscany Village are certified by the Energy Star program. Tankless water heaters, radiant-barrier roofs, dual-pane low-e argon gas vinyl windows and other energy-efficient elements are included as standard features in the homes.
