KB Home (NYSE: KBH) today announced the grand opening of Summerlyn, its latest community of one- and two-story new homes in Jacksonville.
Summerlyn’s access to J. Turner Butler Boulevard, Florida State Road 228 and Interstate Highways 95 and 295 makes the commute to downtown Jacksonville and other major area employment centers easy.
Located roughly 14 miles away from Jacksonville’s beaches on the Atlantic Coast, Summerlyn is also near shopping, dining, and entertainment at Deerwood Lake. Brackridge Park, which features a multi-use sports field, playground equipment, and picnic facilities, is within walking distance. Residents can also enjoy the expansive Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, considered to be one of the last unspoiled coastal wetlands on the Atlantic Coast encompassing salt marshes, coastal dunes and hardwood hammocks, as well as Fort Caroline and Kingsley Plantation.
Home buyers at Summerlyn can choose from eight distinct floor plans, which will feature amenities including dedicated laundry and storage rooms, rear patios and spacious great rooms. The one- and two-story home designs range in size from 1,541 to 3,016 square feet and can be built with up to six bedrooms, three baths and two-car garages. Cul-de-sac home sites are available. Pricing begins in the low-$260,000s, with no CDD fees.
All the KB homes offered at Summerlyn will be built to current ENERGY STAR® guidelines and include WaterSense® labeled faucets and fixtures, meaning they are designed to be more energy- and water-efficient and can potentially save home buyers money on their monthly utility bills. The energy-saving features included in the KB homes at Summerlyn are estimated to save homeowners from $972 to $1,668 in annual energy costs, depending on the floor plan.
A grand opening celebration weekend, during which attendees may tour the model homes, will be held Saturday and Sunday, June 9 and 10 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. On opening day, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., there will be refreshments and family entertainment, including a bounce house and a face painter.
