Luxury Real Estate: Soon residences of San Francisco's Walnut Creek will have the opportunity to live, work, shop and play, all without leaving home. Award-winning KTGY Group, Inc., Architecture + Planning, has announced that the 555YVR project is nearly complete.
555YVR is an eco-friendly luxury development conveniently located just steps from downtown's most stylish restaurants, shopping and cultural landmarks. The location does, however, provide all the comforts of suburban living, and with transit links within close proximity, the hustle and bustle of the rest of the Bay Area is never far from reach.
The four-story residences are built to the latest eco-friendly standards and feature energy efficient lighting, passive solar heating, water-efficient landscaping, a "cool" roof deck, bicycle storage, and low-flow, water-efficient showerheads and sinks. Even the paint, interior adhesives and the interior trim and shelving are considered environmentally-friendly.
While the homes may be "green," they definitely do not lack the bells and whistles one would expect in such a luxury development. Each home is equipped with expansive, low-E energy-efficient floor-to-ceiling windows; a European-style kitchen with CaesarStone counter tops and premium stainless steel appliances from Bosch and Thermador; and bathrooms that feature Italian tile floors and TOTO dual flush toilets. Most of the units offer a private outdoor deck or patio, 9' or 10' foot ceilings, and walk-in closets in the master suites.
Homes range in size from 763 to 1,308 square feet and are available in a wide variety of floor plans. So far, more than a quarter of the units have been either reserved or sold, so if you're looking to lead a more "green" yet luxurious lifestyle, you better act quick. A 555YVR home could be yours from the low $300,000s to the mid-$700,000s.
