Intracoastal townhomes in Deerfield Beach 'live' like single-family homes

Online, May 12, 2010 (Newswire.com) - DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. - When prime waterfront property merges with luxury, privacy and spaciousness, single-family homes are likely to come to mind. But, that's not always the case.

As an example, Boca Raton-based National Custom Homes' four, attached, three-story townhomes with direct Intracoastal frontage in Deerfield Beach are truly comparable to single-family waterfront homes.

"The difference is that our homeowners won't have to worry about upkeep of the yard, pool and other areas. Because these new townhomes are within a multi-unit structure, a homeowners association will manage the maintenance," said Scott Pfendler, National's vice president. "They present all the advantages of a single-family home without any of the hassles."

Pfendler also pointed out that, because there isn't much available land left for new construction, the townhomes offer a rare purchase opportunity. "Furthermore, they are ideal for boaters because each townhome includes a highly sought-after amenity - an 8-foot lateral dock and a 37-foot finger pier that overlook Deerfield Island Park to the west, without an obstruction of the view," he continued. "And, the townhomes are situated on one of the widest portions of the waterway in this area."

There is also an optional boat lift, and the townhomes are just minutes by boat to the Hillsboro and Boca Raton Inlets for ocean access, and 30 minutes to the Lighthouse Point Marina.

"In addition, they are within walking distance of six great restaurants, and a 30-minute drive from either Palm Beach International or Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International airports. This is great for homeowners who travel frequently, or who are seeking a seasonal or part-time vacation home," Pfendler added.

In keeping with much of the nearby Boca Raton landscape to the north, the architectural inspiration is Mediterranean.

"These townhomes have been designed, constructed and equipped to 'live' like single-family waterfront homes, with an abundance of outdoor living areas," confirmed building veteran Rick Pfendler, founder and president of National Custom Homes. "They include exquisite features and finishes and provide a wonderful lifestyle as well as top-of the-line construction quality."

Each townhome offers approximately 4,123 square feet of air-conditioned living space. Floor plans incorporate four bedrooms, four and one-half baths, an elevator, a covered loggia, a patio with a 10' x 17' heated swimming pool and summer kitchen (replete with gas barbecue and sink), a courtyard, and a two-car garage.

Other features are 24" x 24" marble floors in the foyer, living room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast area, family room and laundry room. Sumptuous master suites have charming French doors overlooking the pool/patio and waterway, a seating area, a morning kitchen and oversized his-and-her walk-in closets with built-in closet shelving. Master baths have 18" x 18" marble floors and a shower stall, a separate tub with a marble surround, and marble vanity tops and backsplashes. Kitchens are equipped with Wolf, SubZero and Miele appliances.

The Pfendlers cited other amenities: a ventless gas fireplace in the living room, gas cooking, a spacious third-floor family room with a wet bar overlooking the waterway through 8' sliding glass doors, with access to a covered patio and a second barbecue area. In addition, the two middle residences are pre-wired for an optional home theater.

Prices for each of the two inside (middle) units are $2,750,000. One end unit has sold for $3 million, and the other is listed for $2,950,000.
