Wellington Place to open three new models

Models of three new floor plans are scheduled to open the first week of March at Wellington Place, a Richmond American neighborhood in the northwestern Las Vegas Valley.

Pre-construction pricing starts from the high $200,000s.

The new model homes include the Verona, Tuscana and Cassandra, all from Richmond American's Altezza Collection.

"These plans are really unique because they offer optional attic lofts or suites," sales agent Chuck Myers said. "We're really looking forward to the models opening so people can get a firsthand look at how convenient this layout is. The optional attics give you a chance to add living space and privacy, without taking anything away from the size of your yard. All three designs also feature a dining room, a family room and a large master bedroom."

The Cassandra is the largest new floor plan, with four bedrooms, 21/2 baths and about 2,650 square feet. Room options allow this home to include up to six bedrooms and 31/2 baths. Priced from the low $300,000s, this design is highlighted by a first-floor study and a second-level library, the latter of which can be converted into an additional bedroom. The option of a third level with a loft or bedroom suite provides about 350 square feet of additional living space.

Also available are the Tuscana and the Verona. Both of these homes are priced from the $280,000s and include three bedrooms and 21/2 baths in 2,350 square feet. The Tuscana offers an optional courtyard off the main level, a convenient upper-level laundry room and an optional third-level attic loft or a suite, complete with a bath and walk-in closet.

The Verona features an inviting entry leading into separate living and dining rooms, with a large kitchen overlooking the family room. Upstairs, the master suite can be expanded to include a master retreat, and the loft space can be converted to a fourth bedroom. Buyers will once again enjoy the option of an attic loft or bedroom suite, this time with a partial loft.
