Montebello offers year round luxury for those Adults 55+ who are ready to be spoiled with European-inspired luxury single family villas loaded with distinctive features yet to be seen in this area.

 Berlin, NJ – For four generations, J.S. Hovnanian & Sons has remained ahead of the curve by offering innovative programs to buyers that prefer distinct features and exquisite architectural designs in their homes.

Continuing this trend, the company has unveiled two new opportunities for buyers to customize their homes in never-before-seen ways at their upscale, active-adult Montebello community in Berlin.

First, the builder has expanded their list of upgraded luxury features to include such extraordinary new options as chandelier lifts, double crown molding and direct vent kitchens. These have become standard options now available for any new home purchased at the Montebello community.

For new home shoppers with sophisticated tastes, J.S. Hovnanian & Sons’ Custom Choice Program is also now available for homes purchased at Montebello. This unique program gives buyers the opportunity to sit down with the builder’s team of experts and work towards modifying their home with distinctive, custom features that fit their unique lifestyle.

The Montebello community offers European-inspired single family villas loaded with elaborate architectural designs, starting in the low $300’s.  The Custom Choice Program gives buyers access to all of these standard luxury features, plus the option for more – all for much less than the cost of designing and constructing a custom home. 

For a $2,500 investment, which is applied toward the cost of the changes, the program includes two face-to-face meetings with the company principal, interior designer, director of purchasing and other specialists.  At these meetings, buyers have the opportunity to discuss all of the structural changes they want to make, such as reconfiguring walls to combine rooms, rearranging a kitchen layout as well as adding a wet bar, home theater or fireplace in the master bedroom.

Buyers are also given the opportunity to tour the home multiple times during the building process – ensuring that all the requested custom changes are made exactly how they were envisioned.  If they are not satisfied completely, the homeowner will then have the ability to make additional changes. 

“The Custom Choice Program is perfect for those active-adult buyers who already love our luxuriously designed homes at our Montebello community, but are looking for the ability to customize,” said Stephen Hovnanian, principal of J.S. Hovnanian & Sons.  “The flexibility of this program allows them to incorporate their personal styles and exceptional tastes into their new home, with the added bonus of making sure that the changes made throughout the construction process are exactly what they envisioned.”

Enrolling in J.S. Hovnanian & Sons’ Custom Choice Program upfront is simple and provides a variety of benefits. Buyers do not have to deal with the time-consuming hassle of coordinating contractors.  Additionally, planning for changes allows time for more thorough consideration of design changes, which mitigates some of the unforeseen chain reactions that often come from ad hoc work. With this in mind, J.S. Hovnanian & Sons is extending its legendary warranty service to cover all custom changes installed, whereas making changes after closing typically voids such warrantees. And the best part – allowing J.S. Hovnanian & Sons to make custom changes while your home is being built instead of bringing in a contractor after closing can save buyers up to 35-45%.

 Berlin, NJ – J.S. Hovnanian & Sons continued their winning tradition at the 2009 MAME Awards this month, receiving the Best Community Clubhouse award for the construction and anticipated opening of the new Club & Spa at the luxurious Montebello active-adult community in Berlin. 

The MAME (Major Achievement in Marketing Excellence) Awards are presented each year by the Builders League of South Jersey (BLSJ) and recognize industry leaders who provide cutting-edge solutions and designs in the development of quality housing communities.  

“Being recognized as the ‘Best in South Jersey’ is such an honor,” said Peter Hovnanian, principal of J.S. Hovnanian & Sons. “We made a promise to our homebuyers to deliver a luxurious, first-class Clubhouse well ahead of schedule – a project never-before-seen in this area. This award only solidifies our commitment to providing buyers with only the very best quality products.”

The Club hosts a Billiard’s Lounge where residents can enjoy a few rounds of billiards or a card game, as well as a business center and the Cloister’s Lounge. For those who like to entertain, there’s also the Grand Salon, the perfect venue for a community event or social gathering. More outdoor amenities are set to open in the summer of 2010, including a putting green, bocce ball court, horseshoe pit and outdoor pool.

The Montebello community features European-inspired single-family villas, loaded with distinctive features and elaborate architectural designs starting in the low $300’s. In honor of the opening, J.S. Hovnanian & Sons released the highly-anticipated “Club Lots.” These exclusive home sites surround the Club & Spa and back up to lush open space. Seven of these premier home sites have already sold since the Club & Spa opening this Fall.

“Montebello offers a unique home for the adult buyer looking for a full menu of amenities and activities that cater to their refined lifestyle without the custom price tag,” said Stephen Hovnanian, principal of J.S. Hovnanian & Sons. “The opening of our gorgeous Club & Spa is the icing on the cake of our distinctive and sought-after Montebello community.”
