What's New at Marrano

Marrano grand opens new model at Deer Springs in Hamburg

Following a survey of architects and community planners, the National Association of Home Builders defined the all American neighborhood as a place where kids can play and ride bikes; where diverse home designs create appealing streetscapes; and residents have a shared sense of community with private, quiet surroundings and limited traffic. Visitors to Marrano's grand opening at Deer Springs in Hamburg this weekend can see that very definition and more as the we introduce a new model design and a new phase of building here.

Deer Springs is one of the most popular family neighborhoods in Hamburg and Marrano's new model serves as a cornerstone for a new phase that promises to carry on the all American tradition with a choice of home designs ranging from $210,000 to $280,000. Driving into the community off Southwestern Boulevard, there is an immediate sense of the character of Deer Springs -- minivans in the driveways, pools and swing sets in the yards, even a community playground for residents.

Following the winding roads to the new model on Hobblebush Lane, the diversity of home designs stands out, with one home different than the next, including the brand new elevation Marrano shows with the model. With a partial brick front and traditional rooflines, the home is warm and inviting, a feel that continues inside the open floor plan.

There is a real charm to Deer Springs that we aimed to capture in the model, showing many new touches and features available to today's home buyer. You might say we want to show how the American dream can be fulfilled, with all the amenities you want at a price you can afford.

Showing approximately 2,300 square feet of comfortable, well-planned living space, the new model can be structurally reproduced at Deer Springs starting at just $269,900. For a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath design, home buyers will recognize that as a great value. It will seem even greater the moment they step into the wide open floor plan. Marrano has set an open staircase to the side, allowing a clear sight line from the hardwood foyer straight back to the great room. The plan has an uninterrupted flow, starting with the den/study off the foyer, a flexible space that can also serve as a formal living room.

With new colors and decorator finishes around every corner, the eyes are drawn to many focal points in the model. However, you can't help but be drawn to the great room/sunroom combination. It features a partial cathedral ceiling over a cozy gas fireplace which is flanked by large windows overlooking the rear yard.

The room unfolds effortlessly to the large kitchen, making for a true lifestyle space where casual meals easily transition to family time. Marrano demonstrates our flair for innovation with a new kitchen design including a snack bar peninsula and enough cabinet space to satisfy any need. Hardwood floors add warmth to the dinette area, featuring a sliding glass door to the rear yard. The plan adds more form and functionality off the kitchen with a convenient mudroom area with large closet and half bath, perfect for the kids coming in from an afternoon of playing outside. They can kick off their shoes in the large corridor, and if the clothes are dirty, the first floor laundry room is right down the hall.

While the floor plan is family-friendly, it also reveals a certain sophistication with a formal dining room off the kitchen, and features such as 8-foot ceilings, six-panel doors, and an open staircase to the second floor brightened by a large window. The upstairs arrangement is all about convenience for the family. The master bedroom suite is tucked back for privacy, showing a master bath with ceramic tile floor, walk-in shower, and double sink vanity. There is also a large walk-in closet to handle any wardrobe.

It is worth the visit just to see Marrano's professional interior decorating of the remaining bedrooms -- a bright, pre-teen, girl's bedroom; a space for the dog-lover; and a room that will capture the eye of any Buffalo sports fan. The bedrooms are arranged conveniently to the main bath which has a double sink vanity to accommodate those busy mornings.

Be sure to ask about our limited time, grand opening program at Deer Springs that offers $12,000 in free features to use as you choose. You can take advantage of the free features in the newest phase of building where Marrano has introduced 23 new home sites, some as large as 310 feet deep, in a private, quiet setting.

Deer Springs combines convenience and outstanding natural beauty, located away from high traffic areas. The new phase introduces an entryway off Heltz Road, enhancing the country-like surroundings. The neighborhood features numerous cul-de-sac arrangements, wooded areas and man-made pnds.

At the same time, the location is exceptional, off Southwestern Boulevard and just 4 minutes from the NYS Thruway for easy commuting. Plus, Hamburg's many conveniences are minutes away including private beach rights for residents, restaurants, entertainment and the many attractions in the quaint Village of Hamburg. There are home designs available for everyone at Deer Springs, including 3 and 4-bedroom plans and Ranch designs.
