The Legacy Of Mountain Lakes Prepares For Exciting Fall

MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J. – Activity abounds at The Legacy of Mountain Lakes which is gearing up for an exciting fall filled with development and sales milestones.

Framing has commenced for the initial townhome building at the intimate collection of 39 ultra-luxurious residences, according to HornRock Properties which is developing Legacy of Mountain Lakes.  The bustling construction activity coincides with the recent launch of the VIP Preview Sales which provides interested prospects their first opportunity to purchase at special introductory pricing at the community.

“The next few months are shaping up to be a very important period at Legacy,” says David Hornblass, a principal in the development group.  “The swift pace of development on these townhomes will provide visitors a glimpse at how these townhomes will look when finished.  What’s more, we’re preparing to begin offering ‘hard hat’ tours of the homes shortly which will offer an up close look at the elegance, grace and comfort of the interior layouts.”

“In fact, we’ve already experienced a significant rise in interest since we started the foundations of these homes and we fully expect activity to grow even stronger as they get closer to completion.”  

Legacy of Mountain Lakes is designed to reflect market conditions and satisfy the desires of area homebuyers.  The new community will feature two distinctive housing collections -- the “Carriage Home Series” featuring three-story townhomes ranging from 2,162 to 2,236 finished square-feet of luxury space and the “Signature Home Series” offering two-story townhomes ranging from 2,829-2,853 square feet.  

The development timeline at Legacy of Mountain Lakes will include the official opening of professionally-decorated Signature Series model homes at the community in late October.  

Townhomes at The Legacy of Mountain Lakes are initially priced from the high-$500,000s for the “Carriage Home Series” and upper-$700,000s for the “Signature Home Series.” All homes will include a long list of designer appointments and upscale features.  

The two separate housing collections offered at The Legacy both boast tremendous interior spaces and a host of upscale design elements.  The “Carriage Home Series” will feature three-bedroom residences with boast 2 full baths and 2 half baths and one- or two-car garages. 

The three-bedroom, 2 ½ bath “Signature Home Series” homes will boast unfinished walk-out basements and two-car garages.  Buyers who purchase optional upgrade packages can expand their living space to more than 4,200 square feet in the residences. Optional finished basements, elevators and loft spaces which can be used as an additional bedroom with full bath are available. Each of these residences will back to wooded areas for additional privacy.

“We expect this community and these homes to have broad appeal to homebuyers,” adds Maurice Hornblass, also a principal of HornRock Properties.  “For example, empty-nesters who want the opportunity to reside in an upscale care-free environment, yet still remain close to friends and family in northern New Jersey will certainly appreciate the prestigious Mountain Lakes location.

“Professional couples will be attracted to the spacious, well-appointed interior layouts which provide plenty of room for sophisticated living, entertaining family and friends and so much more.”

Situated at the intersection of Morris Avenue and Fanny Road, Legacy of Mountain Lakes offers a superb Morris County location characterized by winding country roads, bucolic lakes and heavily wooded terrain. While the community unquestionably offers a prestigious address, a close proximity to major transportation including Routes 46, 287 and 80 also brings residents minutes from world class shopping, entertainment and major business centers.

“The shops, services, museums and theatres of historic Morristown are just 15 minutes away and there are a number of golf courses, country clubs and other entertainment pursuits for Mountain Lakes residents to enjoy,” David says.  “What‘s more, New Jersey Transit trains at the Mountain Lakes station whisk commuters into Newark Penn Station, Hoboken and New York City.”

Home to countless parks and nine lakes, Mountain Lakes provides a variety of recreational activities right in the heart of one of northern New Jersey’s most picturesque settings.  The Borough boasts one of the state’s top public schools systems, with Mountain Lakes High School recently ranked number 7 on New Jersey Monthly’s 2012 annual ranking of Top Public High Schools in New Jersey.
