Enthusiastic homebuyers purchased six of the 11 available homes during the recent model grand opening of Messina at La Costa Ridge in Carlsbad, and the success of the neighborhood dramatically illustrates why Shea Homes has the honor of being ranked "Highest in Customer Satisfaction With New Home Builders in San Diego, CA" in the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 New Home Builder Customer Satisfaction Study SM.
Messina's extraordinary advantages include expansive home sites that average more than 14,000-square feet, quiet cul-de-sac locations, and a magnificent La Costa Ridge hilltop setting with lofty, territorial views.
Messina's extensive luxury qualities are featured throughout grand-scale one and two-story residences with living areas spanning approximately 4,374 to 4,873-square feet. These grand residences include three to five-bedrooms with four to five-and-one-half baths, and the elegant styling continues outside with inviting courtyards and loggias for indoor and outdoor living and entertaining. Prices start at $1.1 million.
Each home offers the ideal balance of formal and casual spaces. Traditional parlors and separate dining rooms provide the perfect setting for hosting sophisticated special occasions; while expansive family rooms, gathering rooms or great rooms join with gourmet island kitchens to accommodate fun-filled household get-togethers.
In addition to their extra-large islands, which provide plenty of space for casual dining, kitchens are detailed with granite countertops, maple cabinets, walk-in pantries and stainless steel GE Monogram Series appliances.
Master suites are equally impressive, with oval tubs, ceramic-tile showers and adult-height maple cabinets capped with ceramic-tile countertops. Kohler sinks, tubs, toilets and fixtures are featured in every bathroom, and every member of the household will enjoy the privacy of a bath adjoining their bedroom.
Each of Messina's three floor plans is a showcase of design innovation:
In plan one, a bright sun room expands the dimensions of the kitchen and breakfast nook, and a very private upstairs “dream room” with optional fireplace is secluded above the master suite. Additionally, a guest room with outside staircase is located upstairs.
Plan two offers two options for family activities, both a family room and a gathering room. When guests are expected, their stay will be enhanced by a guest room with direct access to outdoor living areas. A wine room off the dining room and an optional outdoor bar set the scene for spirited entertaining.
In plan three, a tasting room adjoining the dining room gives residents the opportunity to duplicate the wine country experience at home. A spacious garden breakfast room adjoining an expansive loggia promises to brighten morning meals.
Each Messina residence makes a memorable first impression with classic architecture. Santa Barbara and Mediterranean, Tuscan, Monterey Ranch and Spanish styling features accents of stone or brick, wrought iron, shutters and balconies. Fully finished garages accommodate three or four vehicles.
La Costa Ridge is an exclusive, gated enclave located in South Carlsbad that is carefully planned with only 259 homes integrated into the surrounding open space of the adjacent 1,000-acre La Costa Preserve.
