Pelican Place is also a winner when it comes to cutting-edge construction
The inviting sign welcoming people to Pelican Place at RiverWinds could just as well say, "Welcome to Sisterland," if you ask Peggy Nolan Egan and Rita Nolan Torpey. The Nolan sisters, who come from a big family, have always dreamed of finding a place to call home that would offer all the modern-day comforts and recreational activities they desired, along with the convenience of family living nearby. They realized their dream at Pelican Place at RiverWinds, J.S. Hovnanian & Sons’ award-winning luxury condominium community for active adults in desirable West Deptford Township. In fact, three of the Nolan siblings Peggy, Rita and Cathy have bought J.S.Hovnanian & Sons’ homes and now live within walking distance of each other.
"Growing up in a family of eight, with six sisters, we’ve long dreamed of a place where we could all live and enjoy each other’s company when the time for easy living finally arrived," Peggy said. "Pelican Place at RiverWinds is definitely that dream, and we couldn’t be happier being here."
It all began three years ago when Cathy first discovered the exceptional homes offered by J.S. Hovnanian & Sons and settled at the Reserves at RiverWinds, the builder’s other community for discerning active adults in West Deptford Township featuring single-family homes. This hugely-popular community sold out fast, so when J.S. Hovnanian & Sons opened the condominiums at Pelican Place for sale across from her house, Cathy didn’t waste any time recommending the builder’s new active adult community to her sisters Peggy and Rita.
Like Cathy and the many other buyers who had already chosen J.S. Hovnanian & Sons’ homes, Peggy and Rita were so impressed with the home designs at Pelican Place that they seized the opportunity to live the lifestyle they had always dreamed of. Peggy was enticed by the Bridgeport model, a spacious second level design complemented by a covered balcony, while Rita "fell for" the Sandpiper, Pelican Place’s other unique model that boasts a covered porch and convenient first level access. Peggy loves to watch the sunset every day through the sliding glass doors leading to her balcony and appreciates the bright and airy feeling inside her home. J.S. Hovnanian & Sons has achieved this effect by creatively designing the buildings so that every home at Pelican Place is a corner unit.
Each of the two condominium home designs offered at the community includes two large bedrooms and a den, two full baths, a formal living and dining room, and an eat-in kitchen with a cozy dining nook. Among the many luxury features included as standard are: 9-foot ceilings, arched panel interior doors with lever handles, wall-to wall carpeting in decorative colors and easy-care vinyl flooring in the foyer, kitchen and baths. This wealth of amenities is one of the many appealing lifestyle aspects for which the New Jersey Home Builders Association named Pelican Place at RiverWinds "Community of the Year" in its category in 2005.
Pelican Place is also a winner when it comes to cutting-edge construction. As much as Peggy loves the comfortable layout of her new home, she is equally thrilled to be saving money on her energy bills, due to the fact that every home built by J.S Hovnanian & Sons is an Energy Star certified home. The Energy Star homes include tighter-construction, improved insulation levels, high efficiency heating and cooling systems, and are qualified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to save homeowners approximately 30 percent on their utility bills.
The irresistible combination of built-in Energy Star benefits, comfort-enhancing home designs, and maintenance-free lifestyle is what continues to draw many discerning homebuyers to Pelican Place. In addition, they enjoy a plethora of recreational activities including a path to the river, bike trails, tennis courts and a new 18-hole golf course. Just minutes away is West Deptford Township’s state-of-the art Community Center, which features a large indoor swimming pool, fitness facilities, craft and hobby rooms and a senior center.
The Nolan sisters also appreciate the outdoor ambience and breathtaking views and make every Wednesday "Sisters Night," walking to and from the river together. The family closeness they experience at Pelican Place will extend to their other siblings, who don’t live at Pelican Place just yet, when Cathy, Peggy and Rita host the Nolan’s 12th Annual "Sisters Weekend" at RiverWinds this April. "We will enjoy many fun activities together, watch the sunset on the river and take a trip to the Philadelphia Art Museum, which is only 15 minutes away," said Peggy.
Only a select number of condominiums remain at Pelican Place. The sales center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For more information or directions call 856-848-0683 or visit www.hovhomes.com.
