Construction is moving along rapidly on the final homes at Carriage Gate at Little Silver, the popular new community of elegant townhomes located just minutes from downtown Red Bank. With only three homes remaining in Phase 3, the builder is now offering homes in the final phase, representing the last opportunity for buyers to be part of this exceptional community. The final homes at Carriage Gate feature some of the community’s best homesites, privately set among trees in the back of the neighborhood. Buyers will also be pleased to know that there are homes available for immediate delivery.
Carriage Gate at Little Silver is being developed at a pivotal time in this desirable part of Monmouth County. As the first community to offer newly constructed luxury townhomes in Little Silver in more than two decades, Carriage Gate presents a rare and very limited opportunity, according to Mazin Kalian, president of Kalian Companies, the renowned builder behind the new community.
”It’s very interesting what’s happening in this part of Monmouth County,” Kalian said. ”There is really no more land available in the area to build new construction homes. The local real estate market is hot, with tear-downs that are selling for around $600,000 or more. People are buying these re-sales for the property, ending up with someone else’s old home, with all its headaches, and then often tearing them down to build something new. Carriage Gate presents such a better value in that you’re getting a beautiful, brand-new home at a much lower cost.”
The two-story homes at Carriage Gate do present an impressive value. Ranging in size from 2,378 to 2,960 square feet of living space, the homes feature desirable open floorplans with three bedrooms, including expansive master suites and master baths, two-and-a-half bathrooms, gourmet granite kitchens, wood flooring, private outdoor living spaces, full basements, and two-car garages, with paver courtyard driveways. The community itself is distinguished by beautiful landscaping, Belgian block curbing, sidewalks and decorative lighting. Homeowners will enjoy the ease of townhome living, with its low-maintenance lifestyle. Pricing begins in the low-$600s, surprisingly reasonable for this kind of luxury in Little Silver.
To date, the community has appealed to a variety of buyers, according to Kalian. Carriage Gate offers homes that are ideal for move-down buyers: those who are scaling back or starting over and looking for something new, luxurious, and maintenance free, Kalian said. But they’re equally attractive to those who are moving up: young couples who are ready for more space, for a more suburban lifestyle, and to finally stop renting and purchase their own home.
Carriage Gate’s location may account for much of its appeal, as well. Located directly across from the Little Silver train station, the community provides an easy commute into Manhattan or anywhere in New Jersey. The area is known for its beautiful, large homes and proximity to a wealth of recreational, cultural, shopping and entertainment destinations, including downtown Red Bank, with its appealing mix of fine dining, cafes, boutiques, stores, shops and entertainment venues. The community is very close to Rumson and less than five miles from Sea Bright and some of New Jersey’s finest beaches and popular Monmouth County parks. The Grove at Shrewsbury, a popular upscale shopping center, is also less than three miles from the community.
As Carriage Gate enters its final phase, Kalian urges interested buyers to consider purchasing sooner, rather than later.
“There are only 31 homes in the community and we’re seeing a really good momentum here,” Kalian said. ”With our first two phases sold out and phase three almost sold out, we fully expect that Carriage Gate will be completely sold by the end of summer. As the spring market heats up, this is a great time to visit, while we still have excellent opportunities in our final phase.”
