<\/a><\/p>\nThe Grove<\/span> in Scotts Valley is more than 85 percent sold out, with only a handful of solar-powered townhomes remaining. Priced from the high-$700,000s, these three- and four-bedroom residences by <\/span>City Ventures<\/span><\/a> come complete with energy-efficient features at no extra cost. The idyllic, family-friendly community is surrounded by nature, yet close enough to commute to San Jose or Santa Cruz.<\/span><\/p>\n There are two floorplans to choose from \u2014 a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath and a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath. Both layouts feature two-car garages, open-concept kitchen, living and dining areas, office nooks and relaxing master retreats. The ground level of the three-bedroom boasts a flex space that\u2019s open to the entryway, while the ground level of the four-bedroom includes a separate bedroom with a reach-in wardrobe and three-piece ensuite bath.<\/p>\n The bright and airy interiors are characterized by nine-foot ceilings, tile flooring in the entryways, kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms, flat panel kitchen cabinetry, quartz countertops with matching backsplashes, GE\u2122 stainless steel appliance packages, and frameless glass showers in the master bathrooms.<\/p>\n Green technology features provide year-round comfort and lower utility bills through the use of solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, adaptable Nest\u00ae thermostats, pre-wiring for electric vehicle chargers, and dual-glazed windows with ultra-violet coating.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
