Magnolia Estates, the Southern Colonial-style neighborhood by Barratt American in the new master-planned community of Bressi Ranch in Carlsbad, enticed one Encinitas family to get back to some roots.
Although the Orellanas are not originally from the South, they knew they wanted to find a home that was built on a traditional American foundation of high-quality materials, classic architectural styles and, most importantly, a community they could become a part of. Lucky for them, Magnolia Estates had it all.
"It was such a significant factor for my husband, Carlos, and I to know that our three boys, George, 20, Carlitos, 15, and Jose, 11, would have safe, natural spaces nearby where they could play and hang out with their friends without being inside all day," said Mirna Orellana. "There are lots of local amenities for the boys to take advantage of such as pools and parks. Plus, we are close to the ocean."
Alluring attractions within the overall Bressi Ranch area include a Monterey Bay-style community center, which includes a community pool, walk-in wading pool, spa, outdoor fireplace and barbecue area. Bressi Ranch also features plenty of walking paths and parks, and Bressi Commons, which is within walking distance of the community center, embraces a romantic rose garden and a large grassy area that are great for picnicking.
The Orellanas were thrilled that the Magnolia Estates homes offered everything else they desired.
"We were in awe at the level of class and sophistication the homes at Magnolia Estates possessed," Mirna said. "We marveled at the size of the homes, the integrated modern technology and the outstanding quality of materials used to build the product."
Comprised of 25 limited-edition, estate-sized homes alongside themed gardens, Magnolia Estates offers home buyers the option of four or five bedrooms, 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 baths on homesites averaging a leg-stretching 20,000 square feet. The last estate homes to be built new in the city of Carlsbad, these homes range in size from 4,985 to 6,210-square feet in four distinct home plans with four-car garages. One of the homes is on a single level. Magnolia Estates prices start at $1.8 million.
Classical Revival, Southern Revival and Colonial Federal architectural designs by The Case Group, an award-winning San Diego-based architecture firm, embody the southern feel of Magnolia Estates' four distinctive floor plans. Classical Revival architecture is reminiscent of the nineteenth-century Greek Revival style and offers broad expanses of plain wall surfaces and arranges windows and columns in a symmetrical fashion. Homes built in the Southern Revival style, one of the longest-lived architectural forms, display formal detailing and feature single-hung windows with double panes. Recognized for retaining the wealth and elegance of England, the Colonial Federal model includes a low-pitched roof and slender chimneys at each end of the aristocratic home.
The Magnolia Estates homes offer a variety of striking outdoor features including enchanting courtyards on some homes and shady porches with others, carriage house-style roll-up garage doors and a full-house rain gutter system.
Magnolia Estates is within the Garden District at Bressi Ranch, which is in the heart of Carlsbad. With its small town atmosphere and strong sense of identity, Bressi Ranch thrives on the convenience of having its homes, parks, shopping, social and business centers all within walking distance of one another.
