Growing families know the importance of extra square footage in a home, which is why the newly finished basements now being offered at Lighthouse Court at Brick are catching the attention of buyers near and far. Customers are given the opportunity to fully customize their bonus space to their specific needs. Whether buyers are looking for an office area, play room or even a home theater, the basement will be designed to suit! Another great aspect is the ability to select a walk out basement to further maximize the use of the additional space which is a very rare find.

"This is an unbelievable feature that families absolutely love!" asserts Marlene Santaniello, President of The Jerald Development Group. "Not only will customers be getting a gorgeous home, but also the added advantage of more square footage in the form of a finished basement!" She adds that many interested purchasers have been making repeat trips to see the two beautifully designed model homes that are for sale and can be ready just in time for summer. "Buyers who've visited the community absolutely love the homes, the location, and the tranquility of the cul-de-sac, which makes Lighthouse the perfect environment for small children."

Located off Old Hooper Avenue in the highly desirable Sailors Quay section of Brick, Lighthouse Court consists of just six upscale homes on secluded, beautifully wooded cul de sac lots that are approximately 20,000 square feet. The lot size, coupled with an excellent location and outstanding designs, has proven to be a winning combination. Aside from privacy, cul-de-sacs are an excellent choice for families with small children because they offer more of a neighborhood ambiance, a greater sense of security and less traffic.

Lighthouse Court features a collection of designs that reflect the ingenious combination of Old World quality construction, architectural detail, and high tech features that have become the signature of all Jerald Development Group homes. There are three different models to choose from, ranging in size from 2400 to 3000 square feet. Most feature 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, full basements and two car garages.

The breathtaking spec homes that have been completed feature upgrades galore, including upscale kitchen cabinetry, gleaming Corian countertops, and Whirlpool appliances. "As always, we focus on creating a really beautiful kitchen, as this is the most important room in the home," states Santaniello. And in celebration of the spring season, the quick delivery Montauk model has been priced at $519,998 and the Nantucket model at $549,998. "These prices for homes of this caliber are just amazing," she adds.

These elegant homes call for breathtaking, two-story formal entrance halls with open staircases. Nine foot first floor ceilings and open floor plans allow for gracious entertaining. Formal dining rooms will be adorned with decorative panels and chair rail, while ornamental columns in the living room impart a sense of class and sophistication. In addition, classic hardwood floors will be located in the foyer, kitchen and dining rooms.

Spacious gourmet kitchens will feature designer countertops, decorator plumbing fixtures, Whirlpool appliances, and oak kitchen cabinetry highlighted by an oversized central island. These impressive kitchens flow directly into large family rooms that include wood burning fireplaces with decorative mantle. Upstairs, oversized master suites will include tray ceilings, generous walk in closets and a luxurious master bath designed for pampering. In addition to superior building design and a greater degree of comfort, maintenance free exteriors will impart a timeless look to these elegant homes.

Lighthouse Court offers a convenient location for commuters, as the Garden State Parkway is just a short drive away, and access to nearby parks and beaches is a breeze. Both New York and Atlantic City are roughly an hour by car. There are also numerous shopping, dining and recreational facilities situated in the surrounding area. Families with school-age children will be pleased to know that Brick Township was recently voted safest city in America and also has an outstanding public school system. "This community presents a fabulous opportunity for families that want to upgrade their housing status, yet remain in Brick Township," adds Santaniello.
