Touring an Arthur Rutenberg Home

If you’re familiar with the phrase, “you dream, we build” chances are you have heard of Arthur Rutenberg Homes, one of America’s largest luxury-home franchises.

Once a small business with simple, solid home plans, Arthur Rutenberg has transformed over the years to become one of the fastest growing names in the industry, offering more than 80 designs, 350 elevations and a range of styles each customizable to your liking.

On Wednesday, the Pointe South real estate team had the pleasure of touring one of these model homes for sale in Pensacola. Located in the popular Huntington Creek Subdivision it’s needless to say the home was spectacular.

While touring, our agents learned more about the different benefits of owning a model home, and more importantly one built by AR Homes. Much like Pointe South, the company offers the distinct advantages of a large business, such as award-winning design plans, experienced architects and high quality vendors, while still maintaining the personalized service of a smaller company.

We would like to thank AR Homes and John for showing us around. If you are interested in learning more about similar Pensacola real estate opportunities, give us a call today. Our agents would be happy to help you find the perfect, model home!
