First-time buyer selects condo at Carlisle in Summerlin

Master-plan locale, lifestyle key to sale

For home shopper Brian Grubb, a location within Summerlin and a low-maintenance lifestyle were top priorities. He found both at Carlisle, a condominium development.

"I chose a condo over a home because I didn't want to have to worry about yard maintenance and other burdens that come with ownership," said Grubb, a first-time home buyer. "It's nice to be able to spend my free time on activities I enjoy, and living at Carlisle has brought me closer to my friends and other places that I frequent after work."

The landscaped development features a heated swimming pool, a spa, and a fireplace area with seating. A clubhouse contains a kitchen with a granite-topped bar, an open area with a television and DVD, as well as a 900-square-foot fitness facility with cardio and weight-training equipment, free weights, a television, changing rooms and dry sauna.

"I'm happy with my decision to purchase at Carlisle because it is very different in comparison to other condo complexes," Grubb said. "All the standard upgrades and amenities make it hard to beat, and the staff on property made my buying decision easy."

Interiors feature stainless steel appliances, maple cabinetry, granite counter tops with bull-nose edges, and media niches. Also included are interior laundry areas with washers and dryers, central forced-air heating and air conditioning, and ceramic-tile flooring in kitchens, baths and entries.

Six floor plans are available, including two two-story townhome layouts with attached two-car garages.

The Abbington townhome features two bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, and a kitchen that opens to a dining area and patio. It is priced from $300,990.

The Aldridge townhome, priced from the low $300,000s, provides three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and a kitchen that opens to a dining area and patio. The floor plan is priced from the low $300,000s.

The four single-story designs range from the one-bedroom, one-bath Clifton model to the three-bedroom, two-bath Cambourne. They are priced from the high $100,000s to the $270,000s.

Additional features, per plan, include garages, balconies, patios, walk-in closets, oversized tubs, and vanities with granite counter tops.

The complex is located at 10250 N. Covington Cross Drive, just off of Town Center Drive and Summerlin Parkway. The sales office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
