This is a huge new development at the west end of Thornton rd in a newer part of Ferndale. 5 new homes are listed on the MLS, but many more pre-sales are available. This project is just getting started. This is a really nice setting, as the development has plenty of open green space, and backs to greenbelt to the east. This is a partnership between multiple builders, so this will not have a “cookie cutter” feel, and you will see a variety of high quality semi-custom homes here. Square footage ranges from 1,700 to close to 3,000.Click here for more.
