Imagine…Resort living in Upper Freehold

With 10 different home styles and an active lifestyle, K. Hovnanian offers all of the ingredients that make the Four Seasons lifestyle a winner

   Although Nick and Lynn Scalera don’t actually live at a resort, it’s hard to convince their friends otherwise.
   The Scaleras live at K. Hovnanian’s Four Seasons at Upper Freehold, a park-like active adult community of single-family homes with a world-class clubhouse and enough amenities to give visitors the wrong impression.
   "Many of our friends and family members comment on the fabulous recreation facilities here at Four Seasons," said Ms. Scalera. "The clubhouse adds appreciably to the enjoyment of our new lifestyle."

	Nick and Lynne Scalera have moved 11 times in 32 years, and they agree their experience with K. Hovnanian has been the best.

   Mr. Scalera said he especially likes the indoor pool while Ms. Scalera is a frequent visitor to the fitness center and library. As much as the Scaleras enjoy the amenities at Upper Freehold, they say their home is equally impressive.
   The Scaleras chose the Sanibel model, featuring three bedrooms, two full baths, a spacious kitchen with a lovely breakfast area and a spacious family room that is perfect for entertaining. Mr. Scalera uses one bedroom as an office for his consulting business while another is reserved for guests, Ms. Scalera said.
   The couple upgraded their kitchen cabinetry, countertops, appliances and floor coverings at K. Hovnanian’s Home Design Gallery, a 17,000-square-foot interactive showroom where homeowners can choose among a wide selection of appliances, fixtures, faucets, countertops, tile and carpeting to help make their new home unique.
   "We’re extremely happy with our selections," Ms. Scalera said. "I just love the way it all came together."
   The Scaleras have moved 11 times in 32 years, but they say their experience with K. Hovnanian has been the best.
   "We’ve met others here who have owned K. Hovnanian properties and they’ve told us how satisfied they are too," Ms. Scalera said. "They really do go the extra mile."
