McCaffrey Homes Honored with 2009 Central California Real Estate Award of Excellence

McCaffrey Homes' Palmina collection, a community of homes that features five single and two story floor plan designs, was recently presented with 2009 Central California Real Estate Award of Excellence from The Business Journal.  Palmina was honored in the category of "Architecture/Interior Design", at the event which honored the accomplishments of the local real estate industry in several categories.

“Palmina in Clovis was an outstanding submission,” says Casey Lamonski, marketing and event manager for The Business Journal.  “The Central California Real Estate Awards is all about celebrating the outstanding projects happening in the Central Valley and the judging panel found Palmina’s beautiful residential style an obvious choice for great Architecture/Interior Design.”

“This is a special honor for a special collection of homes,” says Lauren McCaffrey Knowlton, vice president of marketing for McCaffrey Homes. “As a local home builder, we take great pride in the homes we build, and we appreciate this recognition. Our team strives to provide our buyers homes with great function and style.  We invite home buyers to visit Palmina and see firsthand all that Palmina has to offer.” 

Priced from the mid $200s, Palmina offers single- and two-story homes that range in size from 1,457 to 4,610 square feet, with up to five bedrooms, five baths and four-car garages.  The homes boast an impressive list of included features such as ceramic tile flooring in entryway, kitchen, breakfast nook, laundry room and baths, kitchen granite countertops, tankless water heater, and built-in kitchen appliances. Exterior elevations of Tuscan, French and Traditional architectural styles have been carefully planned to include a variety of brick, stone or rock.

The plans have been designed for versatility, with owners’ retreats, stylish dens, bonus rooms, super flex rooms with balconies and baths, lofts and casitas. Residents at Palmina will enjoy outdoor living with covered patios, front porches and porte cocheres, plus the opportunity for private courtyards and cabanas.

The Palmina community in Clovis is located within walking distance of Red Bank Elementary, part of the highly acclaimed Clovis Unified School District. A walking, jogging and cycling trail that passes through Palmina provides a picturesque setting for those evening strolls, brisk runs or even a family bike ride.

Every McCaffrey Home is Energy Star® certified with independent verification that the home is 30% more energy efficient than a typical new home built by standard federal code.  This commitment to energy efficiency also helps to protect the environment and the planet.
