On the subject of custom homes. At Arthur Rutenberg Homes we’ve repeatedly proven that a better process gets better results. While many builders claim that designing a “one of a kind” or “true” custom home is best, what they don’t want you to know is everything we bring to the table to provide you with a better experience. So let’s take a look at some of the features that show why more discriminating custom home buyers choose to build with Arthur Rutenberg Homes. Unique Floor Plan Design At Arthur Rutenberg Homes we constantly introduce new home concepts to the market, and our designs are unique to the industry because they are continuously refined to be efficient and functional. Each of our plans can be personalized, resulting in a truly unique floor plan for each customer. Unique Elevation Designs We offer multiple elevations for each of our many home designs, and our staff of in-house architectural designers can modify these to specific desired styles or even design new elevations from scratch. Proven Functionality Our team of interior designers work closely with the architectural design team to ensure each plan functions properly. This includes dynamic sight lines, carefully placing windows, and ensuring appropriately scaled furniture can be located in each room. The way our plans live and how they furnish has helped to secure our reputation in the industry.

Bring your biggest dreams. Your grandest plans. This is a residence that will superbly accommodate entertaining on a grand scale and family living in the most comfortable style you can imagine. The Castellina is spacious and open with a contemporary theme and a splash of retro style. Backlit ceiling trays create a warm yet fun ambiance. While you’re looking up, study the amazing ceiling details. Dramatic wood beams in the large den set off a conversation area with flair. Wood panels in the great room ceiling and mirrored insets in the dining room give each space its own personality. Tasteful wood trim delineating thoughtful niches and smart built-ins add more than style; they add a ton of livability to the Castellina, accommodating your technology and your treasures in an artful way. Speaking of livability, this residence will delight you every day with all the practical features built into it, from under-stairs storage to a multi-purpose utility and laundry room to the pool bath that offers a first stop for anyone coming in from outdoors. From the grand foyer through to the gourmet kitchen, the first floor offers plenty of space for your busy, active household. The rear of the home opens with 90-degree sliders to the outdoor living, a beautiful covered area for casual family meals or for when your party needs overflow space. You’ll relish the luxury and privacy of your first-level master suite. All the comforts are here, from a light-filled sitting area in the bedroom to the bathroom’s beautiful freestanding tub, his and hers vanities, a spectacular walk-in vertical spa shower. The oversized and customized closet is perfect for his and her wardrobes. A second bedroom on this floor is ideal for guests or for live-ins. Two additional bedrooms upstairs offer a nice arrangement for large families, but also create an amazing guest suite for your lucky visitors. If you’re seeking drama, you’ll find it upstairs, with a dramatic curved glass wall, and the unexpected outdoor living area. Large sliding glass doors open onto a deep covered balcony, one of the home’s loveliest surprises. The spacious club room, wet bar, and media room invite you to come upstairs to relax together as a family … or allow the kids to have friends over while you enjoy some quiet time downstairs.

Are you ready for the good life? The Almeria has a resort feel to it that can be either relaxing or energizing – depending on your mood and occasion. With outdoor views from practically every spot in the house, this sunfilled home is the perfect place to kick back and enjoy true indoor-outdoor living. On the other hand, the Almeria is also a great home for entertaining. Slide back the three sets of glass walls that wrap around your outdoor living area, and you’re ready for anything from a casual dinner party with friends to a grand celebration with the entire neighborhood. A centerpiece of day-to-day living, as well as an entertaining hub, the amazing 9'8" x 9'8" kitchen island is the place you’ll gather for, well, just about everything. It’s a homework station for the kids, a sunny spot for your morning coffee and newspaper, and the place your guests will gather time and again. The kitchen is full of other delights and surprises, including a dramatic chandelier, architectural ceiling details, and our signature hidden walk-in pantry. So many other details come under the topic of user-friendly and party-ready. The buffet built into the casual dining area. The L-shaped club room with wine room and wet bar. The way the entire back of the home opens up to merge indoors and outdoors seamlessly. You’ll live and entertain on the deep covered lanai, the comfortable cabana, and your attached gazebo. There is not an inch of wasted space in the Almeria because the comfortable, flowing floor plan offers you bigger, more open spaces. A large den flanks your entrance foyer, providing a nice place to catch up on work just out of the household activity. A grand master suite is your own private wing of the home, with lanai access from one end, and an amazing master bath at the other. The master bath is a true his-and-her oasis, with separate vanities, and a relaxing tub tucked away in the shower. The Almeria’s upstairs ideally accommodates guests, or at-home children. Two ensuite bedrooms share a lovely loft and a large covered balcony. This comfortable space may be one of your favorite “getaway” spots in the home.

How much living can you pack into a single floor? Quite a bit, apparently, and the Amalfi proves it in the most beautiful way. Begin with the thoughtful layout. The easy and natural flow of this home is something you may not consciously think about as you go about your life here, but you will certainly enjoy it. This spacious home feels even grander, with living, cooking, and dining areas that naturally connect. Outdoor living spaces wrap around the home to magically expand it even further. The split plan places bedrooms, laundry, and the bonus room on one side of the home, reserving the other side of the home for your private den and luxurious getaway master suite. A home that lives well is also rich in details, both aesthetic and practical. On move-in day (and every day after) you’ll love the room proportions and well-placed niches that so superbly accommodate your art, your technology, and your furniture. The recess that’s made for your flat-screen TV. The dining area niche for your buffet. The bonus room’s window-lined bump-out that’s custom-made for your game table. It’s obvious the interior designer and the architect collaborated to make each space work even better than you might have imagined. You’ll appreciate the perfect touches whenever you spend time in the kitchen, from the dual islands–one for working, another for gathering around–to the hidden walk-in pantry cleverly disguised within the cabinetry. You may find the kitchen becomes the hub for everyday life, as well as the place your guests gather as you put the finishing touches on dinner. Visually appealing touches are found in every room. Bold wooden ceiling beams in the great room. A zen-like master bath with a deep soaking tub and a shower filled with natural light. An amazing wet bar in your bonus room. Disappearing walls of glass that slide aside to offer unobstructed views of the beautiful outdoors. If you have children still at home, or grown children who come visit, the Amalfi offers the togetherness you crave, balanced by distinct private spaces that contribute to everyone’s contentment. For quiet weeknight dinners on the lanai to grand holiday gatherings, this is the home where you’ll find all the right ideas have come together to make for a beautiful lifestyle.

The Marbella appeals to a wide range of homeowners, from young families to empty nesters, and there is a common theme that often unites their interest: entertaining. This home is an exceptional place for holiday celebrations, family gatherings, and lavish parties.The open floor plan makes an immediate impression, and the expansive feeling you and your guests experience is only amplified when you open up the entire back of the house by simply sliding open three sets of glass doors. The wraparound cabana and lanai merge with the great room, the club room, and the casual dining area, creating a wonderful flow for parties as well as for everyday family life. A wet bar in the club room is another perfectly-placed amenity. The heart of the home is the kitchen, and it boasts plenty of entertaining features. The large center island is a natural gathering place. The hidden pantry is plumbed for a second fridge; handy for everyday needs, the extra storage is also a host’s best friend for staging party food and keeping beverages chilled all evening long. The wine room is another little luxury you might not expect, but won’t ever want to go without once you experience one. When guests or family come to stay, you’ll all appreciate the convenience and the privacy of the split floor plan and ensuite bathrooms. The arrangement is also perfect for families with children at home. The Marbella is so comfortable for families or couples, providing everyone a little space of their own. The kids can be playing pool in the club room, while you can have some quiet time to work in the den. You can be a part of the outdoor activities by sliding open the glass doors, or simply shut the doors and have the great room to yourself. The Marbella may be wonderful for entertaining, but it is also exceptional for everyday living. Details in all the right places take beauty and functionality up a notch. There’s the beautiful brick accent wall in the club room, and the dramatic vaulted and beamed ceiling in the den. The master bath is a dream, with amazing spa-like details. The arrival center’s open concept gives you another great space for a range of tasks, from folding laundry to potting plants to working on craft projects.

You may not want to judge a book by its cover, but first impressions really do count when it comes to your home. The curb appeal of the Turnberry is a promise of lovely things to come. Come a bit closer, and the wrought iron entry doors provide another clue as to the level of quality to expect in the rest of the home. So come on in. The open plan and generous ceiling heights set an elegant yet casual mood. The 90-degree zero-corner sliding glass doors in the casual dining room bring in light in the most dramatic fashion. Nine-foot-tall pocketing glass doors in the great room expand your views, and also open to the outdoor living areas to expand your options for entertaining friends or relaxing with family. For a morning cup of coffee, or a casual dinner, you won’t find a more inviting spot than the deep, covered lanai and cabana. After a long day out and about you’ll always look forward to coming home to relax in the quiet retreat of your lavish master suite. Unwind with a book in your private sitting area, and enjoy the view through the large windows. If you don’t already feel as though you’re living the resort lifestyle, the luxurious master bath will convince you, with its spacious spa shower and beautiful freestanding tub. Whether your backyard view is of the golf course, the water, a nature preserve, or a manicured lawn, life in the Turnberry will make the most of your chosen site. We’ve placed key rooms to take advantage of the view. The master suite with a private lanai entrance. The massive den, which doubles as a second living area. The gourmet kitchen (with a hidden walkin pantry!) and the casual dining area. The great room. All orient toward the outdoors view and the outdoors living space. Up front, you’ll find more practical spaces. An arrival center and large, sunny laundry room. An amazing master closet that will accommodate a very extensive wardrobe. Your family and guests will also find comfortable living accommodations with two additional bedrooms situated on the opposite side of the home from the master suite, affording everyone a little extra privacy.

Imagine how proud you’ll be to welcome guests into the Coquina; the amazing curb appeal and the grand entrance never fail to make an impression. And once inside, the impact of the view is sure to elicit “ooohs” and “ahhhs” from first-time visitors. More importantly, you’ll be reminded, every time you step through the door, what a fortunate choice you made when you selected the Coquina for your home. From the foyer, your sight line is unobstructed; your eyes are drawn to the wall of glass doors that, open or closed, not only maximize your view, but create a sense of connection to the cabana and lanai just beyond. Immersed in the indoor-outdoor ambiance, a thought strikes you: this is the resort-style home you’ve been seeking. It’s easy to picture yourself relaxing with a cool drink on the cabana. Even indoors, the white tongue-and-groove pyramid ceiling in the great room creates a beachy ambiance, and the panoramic windows in the morning room help you start every day on the sunny side. When you’re busy preparing dinner for the family, or putting the finishing touches on food for a party, you’ll be part of the action in the spacious gourmet kitchen. The granite-topped island provides a place for kids to do homework or party guests to perch. The kitchen is also abundantly rich in chef-worthy details, including a separate wine/beverage mini-fridge and a large walk-in pantry with wood shelving. The den might become one of your favorite spaces; visualize yourself in this cozy retreat, relaxing and spending time with friends, surrounded by spectacular views of the outdoors. Or when you need some solitude, the large den tucked away at the back of the home is ideal for reading or working. It also makes a perfect guest suite. The master suite is the perfect blend of luxury with practicality. Note the private access to the lanai. The luxurious soaking tub and the spacious shower with dual shower heads. His-and-hers sinks. An enormous closet with built-ins ready to accommodate his and her extensive wardrobes. With its clean lines and very smart use of space, you’ll find the Coquina lives much “larger” than other homes that boast additional square footage. That’s just one of the hidden, but much appreciated features, of this lovely residence.

Casual, yet stylish; the tone is set the moment you enter the Novara. The foyer’s stunning stone accent wall is a prelude to the great room’s beautiful wood ceiling beams and trimwork. The effect is natural and rustic with a touch of drama. Light floods the home through the expansive use of glass in every room. Your favorite spot in the house might turn out to be the kitchen, which has been designed with comfort and function in mind. There’s a lot to appreciate here, from the sculptural cooking hood to the wine refrigerator to the hidden walk-in pantry. Whether you’re working at the stovetop, or the center island sink, or the home management center, you’ll enjoy outdoor views. The cooking area is flanked by a pair of tall windows, and the home management desk is oriented to offer a sight line through to the amazing outdoor living spaces. This is the perfect place to pay bills, plan a menu, or let the kids do homework while you prepare dinner. The Novara comes with the luxury of space: a den for some getaway time; a gracious nook in the master suite for reading or simply lounging; an open plan that makes the home live much larger than it is. And then… push back the glass walls that wrap around the rear of the home, and instantly merge the club room, the dining area, and the great room with the deep lanai and the cabana, to expand your living space even further. The Novara also offers the luxury of thoughtful architectural details: the club room’s vaulted ceiling; furniture recesses in all the right places; a master bath that feels like your own luxury spa, with a double-entrance walk-in shower and private bath courtyard. For overnight guests or for still-at-home children, the split plan works beautifully. Two bedrooms, each with a full bath, are situated opposite the master suite. Nearby is a sunny laundry room. Storage is abundant throughout the house. The split garage plan provides an ideal solution for extra vehicles, recreational equipment, and other tools and toys. Your favorite things, and your favorite people, will feel right at home in this amazing residence.

Step into the foyer of the Kensington, and you’ll instantly feel the charm. Just turn your head to the left to take in the lovely dining room, with its tall windows, and graceful arched furniture niche. Straight ahead is an amazingly comfortable space: a great room with a welcoming fireplace. It’s perfect as is, but when you slide back the glass pocket doors, the room is transformed as the wall between indoors and outdoors literally disappears. Fans of open spaces will love this floor plan; so will those who prefer just a little separation of spaces. Architectural elements provide a sense of distinct spaces, yet still permit the kitchen and great room to feel connected. The lanai merges seamlessly with the indoor space, while the cabana offers a cozy tucked-away spot for a casual meal. In the chef ’s kitchen, a large center island seats four comfortably for breakfast, and serves beautifully as a homework spot, or for a perch for guests as you finish up dinner details. But this room’s best-kept secret is the hidden walk-in pantry, complete with a second refrigerator. You’ll love having all that extra storage right at hand, but out of sight. Just around the corner is a strategically located wet bar, with a wine room for your private collection. Imagine the entertaining possibilities. Busy households can always use some help with organization, and the Kensington has you covered. The smart space between the attached garage and the kitchen functions as the home’s “Control Center,” and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without one. This large utility/laundry/hobby/ arrival area offers a ton of storage and a sunny work area, plus a drop zone with a bench seat. Busy families also need a few luxuries. A very nicely sized den at the front of the home is your secluded space for working or reading. Elegant double doors and a private entry hall lead to the deluxe master suite, with dual closets and a spa bathroom featuring a walk-through shower and elegant floating tub. On the other side of the home are three spacious suites for family and guests, plus a bonus room. It’s up to you what you’ll make of it; game room, movie room, second living room–this space, like the rest of the Kensington, offers up all kinds of choices.

The Mariner is living proof that you don’t need a large home in order to get every feature and amenity you desire plus the pleasure of generously sized and beautifully proportioned rooms. The open floor plan and high ceiling heights add to the expansive feeling of your living areas. Thoughtfully placed niches in the great room accommodate furniture, art, and your flat-screen TV without impinging on the rest of the space. A cozy cabana and a deep covered lanai wrap around the back of the home to expand your sight lines and your living area even further. Slide away the pocketing glass doors to merge the lanai with the rest of the home; here is your second dining area when the weather is just too nice to stay in. Architectural flourishes grace every part of the Mariner. Double-door entries add elegance to the foyer and to the den. Tall windows admit light in the most dramatic fashion. Amazing ceiling treatments add character to the great room, the gourmet kitchen, and the master bedroom. A walk-in pantry, cleverly disguised behind the kitchen cabinetry, is just one example of the delightful surprises tucked into every corner of this home. There is plenty of luxury, as well. Look no further than the master suite for an idea of how lovely living here will be. You may feel as though you are seeing double, with his and her closets flanking your private hallway. In the master bath, his sink and her sink are on opposite sides of the deluxe soaking tub. Even the shower is twice as grand, with two entries, and two shower heads. You’ll appreciate the luxuries because this home is also full of practicalities. A bright and cheery laundry room. An arrival center with all kinds of storage. An oversized kitchen island that seats three. An abundance of counter and storage space everywhere you need it. All the ease that comes with a smaller home is yours with the Mariner, along with so much more, thanks to the intelligent use of space. You’ll discover that this home lives quite a bit larger than you might have anticipated based just on the numbers. But real life is where the proof is, and the living is lovely here.

“Open” is the word that comes to mind in the Turnberry. Nothing seems closed off in this home; the views are unobstructed, and sight lines are designed to capture every vista. If you’re a parent with young children at home–or grandparents with young folk visiting–you’ll appreciate the fact you can be working in the kitchen or relaxing in the great room, and be able to keep an eye on kids playing in the backyard. Walls of glass erase the division between indoor and outdoor living spaces; then the clearview screens keep bugs at bay while offering unimpeded views. Speaking of the view, we’ve placed the den at the rear of the home. Situate your desk or your game table or your sofa to take advantage of the large window overlooking your backyard and whatever lies beyond…perhaps a golf course, lake, or nature preserve. If you’re accustomed to basement storage, we’ve got you covered. The Turnberry’s three-bay garage offers ample room for two vehicles, with a third bay for whatever you might want to store in a protected place. Trusshung low storage keeps boxes and bins off the floor, making room for your bikes and other gear below. Need more space? The attic is insulated and conditioned, providing additional room for your holiday decorations, out-of-season clothing, and even fragile keepsakes. The split floor plan works for families at all life stages. Younger families appreciate the separation of the master suite from the children’s bedrooms. Couples and empty nesters find the arrangement equally pleasing for guests. The Turnberry’s thoughtful layout and generous features will delight you every day. The sunny utility room is a bright space for sorting and folding laundry. The full bath just off the cabana serves as an ideal pool bath. The double-door foyer features a furniture niche exactly where you would want one. The pantry’s magnetic chalkboard offers an out-of-view place to post reminders and appointments, and keep a running grocery list (snap a photo of the list on your phone, and off you go to the store!). Indeed, luxury and function are built into every inch of this home.

Of the 25 homes the Sarasota design team worked on last year, one most certainly stands out: the home of Charley and George Turon. “Our home is based on the Modena, which we modified, substantially, to reflect how we live,” says Charley. Her husband George adds, “We liked the presentation of the Modena. It was a beautiful palette for us to put our touches on.” “The Turons were coming from a traditional residence, and originally were thinking about a transitional ambiance for their new home,” says designer Julia Siska. “As we worked together, their ideas morphed into a different, fantastic vision.” The vision may have begun to shift when George discovered an innovative glass application from Canada. The ThinkGlassTM countertop on the kitchen island–a single piece of custom-made glass with LED lighting that transforms the color of the glass to match the mood of the moment–was a signal to Julia of the more contemporary, even edgy, direction the couple was headed. The final result is nothing short of spectacular. The home is dramatic yet comfortable. Open yet private. Soaring yet intimate. Compelling materials, amazing features, and creative touches have coalesced into an incredible residence. Charley and George expanded the Modena floor plan in every direction to create the home of their dreams. “We only added 500 square feet,” says George, “but that changed the whole feel.” The resulting home is quite large–well over 6,000 square feet–yet Charley promises that each room of the home is used. Consider the three bedrooms in the main house in addition to the master suite; the Turons had a plan to make sure each of the rooms was functional. One is reserved as a true guest suite. Another serves as a very nicely appointed fitness room. And the third holds a family treasure: a Steinway grand piano that’s been in the family since 1892. Family photos and George’s childhood toy box, a hand-painted beauty from Germany, personalize the room even further. The den is another example of making the most of every room’s potential. The raised level is all-business, with a handsome desk and a fullwall credenza and bookshelves. A few steps down from the office level, the design team created a comfortable seating area where the couple can enjoy movie-watching in a cozy setting. With the exception of a few carefully chosen treasures and family heirlooms, everything in the home is new, and a result of the collaboration between the Turons and the Design Studio team. As the Turons worked with the Design Studio to select their home’s finishes and fixtures, it became an easy decision to also trust the Arthur Rutenberg Homes design team with furnishing this home. “Some designers bring their vision to your design,” says George. “This team brought their skills and talent to our vision.” Adds Charley, “They understood us and what we liked. It was very easy to work with them.”
A True Collaboration

The Sarasota Design Studio
The Turons have high praise for the entire Nelson Homes team, and especially appreciate the Arthur Rutenberg Homes concierge concept. “It was wonderful to have someone to follow up on details, to take notes, and to schedule meetings,” says Charley. The luxury of having designers who are so intimately acquainted with your home plan is another plus. “Our clients love the concept of the Design Studio,” says Julia. “No one knows their home plan, and how it works, better than we do.” “And,” she adds, “our clients don’t have to pound the pavement to make their selections. They can see their home start to come together, room by room, right here.” Julia personally chooses every item displayed in the Design Studio, guided by her insight into the local market and a keen understanding of the clientele who builds with Arthur Rutenberg Homes. The result is a thoughtfully curated collection of everything from tiles to textiles. And, when a client has an idea that is out-of-the-box, the design team can easily accommodate the request, sourcing products, materials, and even specialized craftsmen and installers if necessary. That willingness and ability to work outside of the box came in handy with the Turon residence. “This home is different than anything we’ve ever done before,” says Julia. From sourcing a unique backsplash for the casita kitchen to working with a specialized installer for the concrete countertops, the design team enjoyed the challenge of helping the Turons bring their dream home to life. It helped that the Turons had previous homebuilding experience, and were good decision-makers. Still, this project was a big one. As Julia guided Charley and George through the myriad of selections to be made, design assistant Amanda Knorr entered the information into the computer in real-time. Making the bigger decisions like flooring and cabinetry (in this case, an abundance of warm hickory floors and deep chocolate-toned cabinetry) set the groundwork for selecting the details like window coverings and lighting. Julia likens it to

getting dressed first, then putting on your jewelry. When Julia and Amanda complete a design session, they take the client on a visual walk-through of all the selections, room by room. Every element is reviewed and confirmed, working with swatches and samples displayed on the selection wall and cross-referencing with a printout of all the chosen items. For Charley and George, the review took a bit longer than usual; the typical Arthur Rutenberg home design plan results in a printout of some 36 pages of detailed information…the Turons’ printout ran to 50 pages. Once the Turons finalized their decisions, the third member of the Design Studio team, Kristen Colin, sprang into action to coordinate purchasing and to ensure everything arrived on schedule. Her role is to address any issues, from supplier timelines to damaged goods to anything and everything else that might need attention. “When we put together a full project,” says Julia, “it’s all hands on deck.” All along the way, the design team provided the Turons confidence in their decisions, and assurance that everything would go smoothly. “Our clients often tell us how easy we made the process,” says Julia. The more time you spend in the home, the easier it is to believe when Charley claims, “Building this home was great fun, from clearing the ground to the day they handed us the keys. It’s been fun, and we are so pleased.” The home’s whimsical and delightful touches–from the hand-applied torn paper application on the master bedroom ceiling to the television hidden behind a bathroom mirror–are balanced by a ton of very smart and practical systems and ideas. The Modena is a smart home, with an entire room dedicated to the electronics that control everything from energy to the sound system. The Turons’ home is also very green. Their Arthur Rutenberg Homes builder, Nelson Homes, Inc., builds green as a standard. “In this caliber home, it is expected,” says franchise owner Derek Nelson. “We are always trying to exceed customer and industry expectations.” ArthurRutenbergHomes.com (63

The result is a home that does more than offer the Turons the comfort and savings of energy efficiency; it’s also about responsibility. “Being mindful of the earth is the right thing to do,” says Derek. “Livable” is the word that comes to mind in every way, from the comfort provided by the home’s technology, to the delight provided by its design. For instance, the dining area includes two full-height wine coolers for easy access while entertaining, while the casita’s walk-in wine room houses the balance of the Turons’ wine collection. The dining area’s built-in buffet also accommodates some family heirlooms that see more use now that they are right at hand. “This is where I keep my mother’s sterling silver, as well as my mother’s and my grandmother’s china,” says Charley. The flow of the home is also conducive to entertaining. “We have a large event coming up,” says Charley, “and normally I wouldn’t be so relaxed about having so many people. But here the flow allows you to be a part of it.” From appetizers at the bar, to dinner at the nearby table, to last-minute kitchen prep, hosts and guests stay connected. That’s part of the charm of the home; it may be very spacious, but the open plan fosters togetherness, and the size never overwhelms. “You don’t feel like you’re lost in the structure,” says George. “We’ve seen homes that are large, with space just for the sake of space,” he adds. “That’s not us.” On the other hand, there is plenty of room to provide privacy when guests come to stay. The casita allows guests to follow their own schedule, rising for an early breakfast perhaps, or reading or watching TV late into the night, without interrupting the household routine. Julia and her team also made sure the casita gets plenty of use even when guests aren’t around, furnishing the casita’s main living area with a pool table, plus multiple screens for watching sports. Creamy white leathers, polished stainless steel, sleek ceiling fans, and touches of turquoise pull together a fresh and sophisticated look throughout the home. Complementing the stunning interiors are the views from every angle. Perfectly placed windows, full-height glass walls that slide away out of sight, as well as the clear view screens enclosing the outdoor living area, maximize the Turons’ enjoyment of their surroundings. “The views make it like each day you’re looking at a different painting. And at night, the stars here are just amazing,” says Charley. Charley and George moved into their home in December 2015, with the goal of being unpacked and organized in two weeks. Because the Design Studio team organized the selection, purchase, and delivery of the home’s furnishings, move-in went off without a hitch. Making the process easy–and even fun–truly pleases the design team; Julia reflects further on what contributes to their sense of fulfillment on a job well done. “You’ve helped create the space where your client will enjoy life with their family; the place where they will make memories,” she says. “And that’s really gratifying.” ArthurRutenbergHomes.com (65
What makes building with Arthur Rutenberg Homes different? Almost everything. The difference begins with the fact that our plan collection is truly alive. It comes to life within our more than 40 fully furnished model homes. You can walk through and experience how functional our floor plans are, and see firsthand the level of quality in the workmanship. All of the finishes shown are included in the price. And, you don’t have to try to imagine how a blueprint might translate into three dimensions; you can see it. The model also serves as the ideal environment for learning about you and your specific wants and needs. We listen to you to get an accurate idea of what you want in your new home, so we can guide you toward the right solution. Identifying a plan from our collection is a good jumping-off point. We have an extensive collection of award-winning designs from which to select. And, since we’ve already covered the cost of developing these plans, you’ll enjoy considerable savings. Walking the lot is another step that is crucial. We make sure we understand the dynamics of each lot and take all site conditions into account, so we can have an intelligent conversation about how your plan fits, and the type of foundation needed. We can also help you find a lot if you don’t already have one. Generally, we’ll be able to identify a plan which is exactly or very close to what you want. But what if you really like one model’s floor plan, and fall in love with another model’s master suite? Or would like to move the den to the other side of the house? Or swap out that third garage space for a downstairs playroom? That’s easy. 66) AR LIVING
