Architecture professor buys Rosedale home

     Charles Obi, a professor of architecture with the Community College of Southern Nevada, chose the Plan Three model at Rosedale after a lengthy study of new homes valleywide.
      "I had been searching for a new one-story home for about a year when I found this floor plan at Rosedale," Obi said. "I was attracted to the simplicity and architecture, along with a side-facing front door.
      "Pardee (Homes, the builder) is a very reputable builder known for quality construction. Our home in Rosedale is very comfortable with a design and layout that separates the kitchen from the main traffic."
      Obi and his family chose the Plan Three Alternate, which offers three bedrooms and a den in 1,459 square feet.
      "We like having the privacy of the master bedroom at the back of the home away from the secondary bedrooms," Obi said.
      The family-oriented neighborhood was a big selling point for the Obis.
      "We saw several families in the neighborhood when we visited Rosedale," Obi said. "Living in a community with children was very important to us."
      Priced from $121,750 to $128,450, this floor plan can include four bedrooms; dual owner suites with a third bedroom; or three bedrooms and a den; all with two baths, a laundry room and a two-car garage in from 1,299 to 1,459 square feet.
      Design options include exterior French doors from the fourth bedrooms, one- or three-sided fireplaces, acrylic blocks in owner baths, speakers and wiring for stereo sound, intercoms and gas barbecue outlets.
      Kitchens include ceramic-tile counter tops, oak cabinets, pantries and icemaker connections for refrigerators.
      Owner suites feature mirrored wardrobe doors, baths with cultured-marble counter tops and bullnose edges, dual sinks, separate toilets and separate tubs and showers with clear-glass enclosures and ceramic-tile surrounds.
      Other standard features include media niches in family rooms; ceramic-tile or parquet entry flooring; pony walls; great rooms; and cultured-marble counter tops with standard edge in secondary baths.
      There are four one- and two-story floor plans, priced from $114,200 to $142,450.
      Floor plans range from 1,149 to 1,679 square feet with 15 exterior designs options.
