Estancia Residences, a European-inspired 5-story, 88 home condominium community located just south of Mill Creek, is pleased to announce the grand opening of it's sales office this weekend. Estancia will stand at the heart of a new urban neighborhood in Snohomish County called "Zocalo", that combines residential living, retail, amenities and professional services in a single, standalone community. The word Zocalo means "town square" in Spanish, and it's
known around the world to describe a place of community buildings where people tend to gather.

Estancia Residences blends the sophistication of European mid-rise living, with the timeless community of an old world town center - offering seven exciting condominium home plans in a state-of-the art, sophisticated new building that serves as the focal point of this visionary new community.

"Estancia is inspired architecture, thoughtfully laid out floor plans, and high-end, designer fixtures and finishes - in a people-friendly, natural environment. This combination of space and place is completely unexpected in a non-urban community." Says The Ryness Company President, Barbara Allen. Estancia's front door opens to Zocalo's central plaza - a large, public community space for residents, visitors and the public - with an elegant fountain, striking
landscaping and comfortable seating that lends itself to people-watching, sitting in the sun, or a friendly chat with a neighbor. A few short steps will take you to a promenade of local shops, restaurants, and businesses - where you can pick up your dry cleaning, shop, or go out for a bite to eat. Well-designed, professionally lit and landscaped walkways connect Estancia with other mixed use residences, the retail center, and even a multi-acre natural area that lies at the southern end of this pedestrian-friendly community. Estancia's central location just south of Mill Creek, (in the Northshore School District), provides convenient, quick freeway access to Seattle, the Eastside or Everett.

"It's the perfect place for those who enjoy downtown and appreciate the urban feel, but want a more relaxed, human-scaled community to call home." Says Celia Fallon, Community Sales Manager.

Nothing has been left out in these spectacular new homes. Kitchens include slab granite counter tops, glass tile backsplashes, hardwood flooring, and cinnamon or chocolate-colored cabinetry with the look and feel of fine furniture. Reeded glass, custom hardware, stainless steel appliances and suspended glass shelving create a stylish but functional work space for even the most particular of cooks.

Spacious, bright living spaces open up to private balconies and generously sized bedrooms. The bathrooms are awash in sleek finishes with oversized white ceramic tile flooring, tiled walk-in showers, marble countertops, custom cabinetry and specially made rectangular porcelain sinks that provide just the right combination of form, function and beauty. Estancia wraps around a private, light-filled courtyard with a fountain, plants, and a wide staircase that leads up to the indoor lounge and lobby areas. The main entrance provides an elegant and warm introduction - with an impressive fireplace, tiled floors and soft, sconce lighting where guests are provided with secure, call-box access to the building. Each home comes with a secured, under-building parking space, and an individual storage locker. Two bedroom homes include an additional outdoor parking space. Estancia is equipped with smart-home technology too. All homes have Cat 5 network and in-home network panels.

"One of the unique benefits of Estancia," says Community Marketing Director, Lea von Pressentin, " is the installation of Detec - a whole building built-in moisture detection and monitoring system specifically designed to protect multifamily homes from the damaging effects of hidden water intrusion. Detec protects your housing investment, provides peace of mind, and adds value to your home by making sure that unseen moisture will not lead to extensive property damage."

Whether you're thinking of down-sizing, or looking for a home base that's convenient to the city, with urban style and town square comfort, Estancia offers elegant, mid-rise homes that bring the best of both worlds together.
