5/25/2002 TAMARACK VILLAGE - Carefree 'patio homes' Seattle Times--New Homes Saturday REDMOND--Located just minutes from downtown Redmond and Highway 520, Redmond Ridge's Tamarack Village features award winning "patio homes" in a beautiful natural setting. The lifestyle of the popular Redmond Ridge community complements the innovative design of the Tamarack Village patio homes. Redmond Ridge features more than 600 acres of open space, 15 miles of trails, 13 parks, a YMCA Program Center, a proposed school site, a future retail area and a diverse mix of home styles. Tamarack Village, built by CamWest, is a collection of 40 three- and four-bedroom patio homes that feature front porches, spacious kitchens with islands, impressive master bedroom suites with vaulted ceilings, inviting lofts and two-car garages. Priced from $280,000, the beautifully appointed homes also include stainless steel appliances, red oak hardwood flooring, maple cabinets and porcelain tile kitchen countertops. In addition to private outdoor patios and courtyards, Tamarack Village homebuyers will appreciate the carefree living of the patio homes' fully maintained landscaping. "Redmond Ridge's patio homes are an ideal choice for a first time homebuyer or busy professionals on the go," said Bryan Jones, community sales and marketing manager for Redmond Ridge. Nestled between a protected greenbelt and a pond, the patio homes are conveniently located on a bus route and adjacent to Redmond Ridge's future retail area. "Customers tell us that what they like best about Redmond Ridge's patio homes is that they offer the look and feel of a single-family home with the freedom of townhome living," Jones added. Homebuyers aren't the only ones applauding Tamarack Village. Last year, the patio homes earned a top industry award for design from the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties. Sales are moving so quickly at Tamarack Village that the neighborhood's first phase is almost sold out and CamWest is now launching its grand opening for the final phase, which will feature 14 homes. Homebuyers who move quickly will have the opportunity to customize their new home to suit their personal style and needs. With the final homes scheduled for completion in June and July those who purchase in May can create the home of their dreams. Home Page
