On the Town

Hardwood floors are an option at Jasmine Row townhomes, which are priced from $179,000 to $189,000. Think upgrades at the new Jasmine Row townhomes and, soon, Jasmine Gate houses in Bolton’s Landing. It’s not that the 60 upstairs-downstairs units underway and another 58 single family homes in the works aren’t solid, attractive and functional. Rather, the builder designs dwellings so buyers can individualize the houses and townhomes without adding too much to the cost. Typical visit is four to five hours where prospective owners pick out paint schemes, countertops, cabinets, flooring and other features. Extras can include hardwood floors; refrigerators; fireplaces; additional bedrooms; and jetted tub, separate shower and ceramic tile in bathrooms. The California-based company has completed a half-dozen townhomes, including three models, with further construction to follow soon. Also, the first home is being built at Jasmine Gate a block or so away. Jasmine Row features units with three bedrooms or four bedrooms, which is unusual for townhomes. The floor plans are the Ocella, Wagner, Horlbeck, Schooner and Darrell — the four bedroom design. Townhomes are 1,614-1,797 square feet and priced from $179,000 to $189,000. They have a few standard features such as two-car garage, rear patio, 42-inch kitchen cabinets and 9-foot ceilings on both floors. Depending on the plan, attractions can also include first floor master suite, gourmet kitchen, sunroom and formal dining room. The homeowners’ association fee is $177 a month. At Jasmine Gate, buyers can choose from six floor plans sized from 2,248 to 2,996 square feet and priced at $279,000 to $307,000. The Coosaw, which has a den, loft and lanai (covered porch), will be the sales model. All plans come with a single-car detached garage. The three- and four-bedroom houses, all two story or with an optional upstairs bonus room, can have screen porches, study and large family room. Homes can go up to five bedrooms with options. There’s a low-energy-use upgrade package, which comes with the lowest price rate from the power company. Reflective material is installed on the roof, air conditioning units are energy-efficient and exterior walls are well insulated. Jasmine Gate model homes are the Kiawah, Beaufort, Stono, Wando, Wadmalaw and Coosaw. Both locales come with gas heat and gas hot water.
