Grand Opening This Saturday at Tamarind Lane at Rosedale in Azusa

AZUSA, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 5, 2012) - The newest addition to the master-planned community of Rosedale in Azusa will be unveiled this Saturday, July 7^th as TRI Pointe Homes celebrates the grand opening of decorated models at Tamarind Lane, a collection of impressive single-family detached homes that are value-priced from the mid $400,000s.

Adding to the festivities, Carl's Jr. will be serving up juicy charbroiled hamburgers and beverages from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Everyone who tours the models will also get a taste of design excellence in three stylish two-story floor plans ranging from approximately 2,008 to 2,098 square feet, including three to four bedrooms and two and one-half baths. Select plans take on the added dimension of a versatile loft or quiet study.

The models showcase such enhancements as gourmet island kitchens in most plans, elegant master suites with walk-in closets and separate tub and shower, convenient upstairs laundry rooms with optional utility sinks, spacious covered front porches and attached two-car garages with extra storage space and insulated steel roll-up doors. In the largest plan, two of the secondary bedrooms also feature walk-in closets, and buyers may choose an optional fireplace in the living room.

Kitchens enhance mealtime activities with granite countertops, European-style white Thermofoil cabinets and a complete collection of stainless steel Whirlpool® appliances.

Environmental friendliness is built into each home with an extensive array of energy-saving and money-saving features. Heading the list are Energy Star® dishwashers, Low-E window glass, radiant barrier roof sheathing, tankless water heaters and heating and air-conditioning systems controlled by digital set-back thermostats.

Tamarind Lane is ideally located minutes from The Resort, Rosedale's two-acre recreation center, where amenities include a junior-Olympic-length swimming pool, spa, children's wading pool, picnic areas, barbecue grills, and a spacious clubhouse with fitness center, multipurpose room and fully equipped kitchen. In addition, Tamarind Lane residents will enjoy being conveniently located adjacent to their own community recreation center.

The Resort is just one of many community enhancements that make Rosedale a sought-after address. It will be joined by 10 parks, sports fields, scenic trails that are woven throughout the community and acres of permanently preserved natural hillsides. For families with children, the Azusa Unified School District offers educational excellence from kindergarten through high school. Post-secondary education is also available nearby at Citrus Community College and Azusa Pacific University.
