MULBERRY SPARKLES AT THE PRESERVE AT CHINO

THE PRESERVE AT CHINO — The successful Model Grand Opening of Mulberry Cottage and Mulberry Casita at The Preserve at Chino has proven once again that Brookfield Homes Southland knows how to create communities that uniquely speak to homebuyers while exceeding their expectations. Interested buyers from across Southern California recently came out to tour the seven beautifully designed and decorated models, as well as celebrate the Grand Opening of Mulberry Park. Their tremendous excitement and enthusiasm for Mulberry was contagious as the neighborhood sparkled from beginning to end.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the outstanding turnout from this event,” said Ron Hixson, sales manager at Mulberry. “We saw everyone from young buyers to empty nester to families looking for a fun-filled day to spend at Mulberry. They toured the model homes, watched the little ones romp in the park, took advantage of our special kid-friendly activities, and enjoyed tasty treats and refreshments. All of the anticipation that existed before this event was nothing compared to what they felt now that they could actually walk through these models and experience the Mulberry homes for themselves.”

Future residents of Mulberry Cottage and Mulberry Casita can expect even more fun family-oriented festivities like the Grand Opening celebration to happen throughout the year at Mulberry Park.

“Whether it’s a Weekend Party or a Labor Day celebration, the park will be home to several exciting community events already planned for this summer,” adds Hixson.

Mulberry has quickly become a homebuyer favorite because of its unique sense of community spirit, central location within The Preserve at Chino, and rare combination of style, warmth, and details that distinguishes every Brookfield community in Southern California.

Mulberry Cottage’s four distinctive single-family homes were designed with the needs of today’s families in mind, with three to four bedrooms and two and one-half to three baths in approximately 1,416 to 1,874 square feet. Spacious pantries in the cook’s kitchens, open living areas, and the convenience of extra storage within the attached 2-car garages give homeowners a unique combination of comfort and convenience. Pricing for Mulberry Cottage begins in the mid $400,000s.

Mulberry Casita presents four well-planned single-family homes with three to four bedrooms and two and one-half to three baths in approximately 1,609 to 1,988 square feet. The spacious kitchens are suitable for everything from casual meals to fine dining, and separate living and dining rooms provide ample space for family get-togethers and entertaining. Pricing for Mulberry Casita begins in the high $400,000s.

Amenities of these special homes were integrated for homeowners’ comfort and convenience, and include Frigidaire® stainless steel, energy-efficient appliance packages, Kohler® sinks and faucets, and white-finished, raised-panel (Mulberry Casita) and beadboard (Mulberry Cottage) Thermafoil cabinetry. The homes have been pre-wired to accommodate the newest technology, allowing for four phone lines, cable TV, high-speed data, and additional RJ6 video capabilities.

What makes Mulberry even more a standout is the fact that it is located just a short walk from The Parkhouse, The Preserve at Chino’s showcase amenity. This fitness and social haven was created specifically for the use of Preserve residents and offers a 15,000-square-foot gathering place with a fully equipped fitness center, spacious meeting rooms, a catering kitchen, a business center, game rooms, and a theater with surround sound. Outside, a pool, spa, and lighted tennis courts invite fun and recreation in a three-acre, park-like setting.
