“We’re no stranger to the Ashbury community,” says Cimarron Homes’ Director of Sales Justin Morrison. “We’ve been pleased to build single family homes in Ashbury Green since the community’s inception in 2006.

As we’re beginning our final phase of Ashbury Green, we’re happy to announce we now have homes underway in Ashbury Crossing. These homes, priced $147,950 – $179,950, are designed specifically for active adults. We’re delighted to offer homes for the 55+ lifestyle in this exceptional community.”

A review of Cimarron’s plans for Ashbury Crossing reveals that these homes include not only the low maintenance features and first floor owner suites that most 55+ customers prefer, but also style, allure, and value-filled details to boot. Each of these Energy Star- and Green-Certified cottage-style homes range from 1,248 – 2,020 heated square feet, with 2 – 3 bedrooms, 2 – 3 baths, and a 1- or 2-car garage. Four of the seven Cimarron plans for the neighborhood offer one-level living; the remaining three plans offer first floor owner suites. Exteriors consist of classic brick with siding or shake accents, 10’ x 12’ patios, sodded yards, and architecturally specified landscape packages. The Ashbury Home Owner’s Association takes care of all yard and exterior maintenance in Ashbury Crossing.

As with Ashbury Crossing, each Cimarron home at Ashbury Green is Energy Star- and Green-Certified, and each home can be customized with Cimarron’s option plan.
“I’ve sold many Cimarron homes,” says REALTOR® Armand Lenchek of Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston. “What impresses me most is Cimarron’s ability to provide high efficiency, green built homes at an affordable cost. My clients have been very pleased… Not only do Cimarron homes retain their market value, they are less costly to maintain than other homes. I’ve researched utility costs for my clients, and I’ve found that Cimarron home owners consistently pay substantially less for utilities than other home owners. I’m a big fan of Cimarron Homes.”
“We work hard to provide tremendous value for the money,” says Justin. “Our goal is to consistently be the value leader in the Triangle. Our combination of great design, functionality, energy efficiency, durability, and pricing make homes in either of these neighborhoods excellent choices. As Armand said, customers not only spend less money upon purchase, they also enjoy long-term savings due to our healthy/green/energy efficient systems included in each home. Added to all of this are the amenities included at Ashbury… They comprise yet another amazing element of this community.”
Amazing indeed are the amenities at Ashbury, as they include a fitness center, complete with state-of-the-art cardio machines and strength training equipment, an outdoor pool and beautifully landscaped deck, an open-air pavilion with ample seating, an outdoor stone fireplace, gas grills, and a kitchen, all available for family activities and community gatherings.
