BEND, OR. – August 15, 2011 – Tetherow, a 700-acre resort community located minutes from downtown Bend, and steps from the Deschutes National Forest, announced today that several of the community’s spec homes were honored with awards during the recent 2011 Central Oregon Builders Association (COBA) Tour of Homes. Citing the community’s design quality and value, COBA awarded two new custom spec homes at Tetherow Best Interior Finishes, Best Feature for outdoor patios and “Best Value.”
More than 34,000 people toured the 39 homes located throughout Central Oregon that were featured in the 23rd annual Tour of Homes, the largest “open-house” event in the region and the second largest home tour in the state. Each of the homes was judged in a variety of categories, and the winning homes were recognized at an awards ceremony on July 20.
“We are honored that our new spec homes were recognized during this year’s COBA Tour of Homes,” said Chris van der Velde, Tetherow’s developer. “Just as we built the community at Tetherow to complement the outdoor lifestyle that permeates the recreational haven of Central Oregon, we built our homes with the same direction, pairing high-end finishes with highly-livable indoor and outdoor spaces.”
Awarded “Best Value” in its price category of $880,000 to $900,000, the home at 61645 Dryer Court features views of the Cascade Mountain Range and Tetherow’s nationally-acclaimed David McLay Kidd golf course. The residence, with its four bedrooms, four and a half baths and a large open great room, is surrounded by mature Ponderosa Pines, adding to the site’s natural privacy.
Located within Tetherow’s Glen neighborhood, the home at 19472 Stafford Loop was awarded Best Interior Finishes and Best Feature for its three beautiful outdoor patios. A single-story home priced at $675,000, this residence features large windows that allow natural light to fill the house and includes three bedrooms, a den, three and a half baths, three spectacular outdoor terraces, rich Walnut flooring and a stunning marble fireplace. Also located in the Glen neighborhood and featured on the Tour of Homes is 19473 Stafford Loop, a two-story home featuring four bedrooms, four and a half baths, two outdoor decks and a three-car garage. A luxurious master suite on the main floor provides direct access to a back patio, allowing residents to enjoy Bend’s temperate high desert climate year-round. Both homes located on Stafford Loop within the Glen neighborhood are built to meet strict Earth Advantage New Homes Standards.
All three Tetherow homes featured on the 2011 COBA Tour of Homes are currently available for purchase. An increasing number of families have chosen to call Tetherow home, enjoying the award-winning 18-hole David McLay Kidd-designed golf course and endless outdoor activities including miles of hiking and biking trails, skiing at nearby Mt. Bachelor and world-class fly fishing.
