Standard Pacific Homes announces the completion of the first building for The Live-Work Collection Lennox at Brier Creek at , a unique option, perfect for the lifestyle of today’s modern family. The live-work townhome offers homeowners the opportunity to have a dedicated work space on the first level of their home that can be either a separate home office or low traffic business with its own entrance. This space is designed for businesses such as that of an attorney, insurance agent, psychologist or real estate broker. Homeowners enjoy the benefits and ease of living upstairs, saving both travel time and the expenses of a daily commute and/or the cost of rent for a multi-year contract for a personal business.

“The Lennox Live-Work townhome is a great option for singles, couples and families who want to save time and money commuting to and from work,” said Keith Wood, Standard Pacific Homes Division President. “With the cost of gas and the time it takes to drive to and from work, the opportunity to have a home office or limited-client business office is perfect for many homeowners. Plus, Lennox residents enjoy living in one of the most desirable and centrally located communities in the Triangle, Brier Creek. ”

The Brier Creek area offers numerous amenities including fantastic shopping, cultural activities, cafes and fine dining, entertainment venues, world-class healthcare, parks and Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Lennox is also close to all the excitement of downtown Raleigh and Durham. Plus, with a live-work home you have the added benefit of a tax write-off for your home business.

Irina Bennett, a new homeowner and active local realtor says, “The Live-work design in the Brier Creek community is advanced and very unique! I love it! It allows people with small businesses an opportunity to run their venture on their budget and at the same time have a big business exposure! With the commercial signs right at your doorstep and a hot commercial shopping center, this product gives you a chance to prove your start-up. Coming down to your business office from your second and third floor living space cannot be overlooked with today’s high gas prices. “

The Lennox Live-Work townhomes feature a large master bedroom suite on the main living floor which has a balcony, two additional bedrooms upstairs and two full and two half-baths. There is a second balcony off of the living area on the main floor as well as a private courtyard and patio in the front of each residence. The townhomes also offer a large game room, an oversized, two-car rear-entry garage and an elevator option. The clubhouse is currently under construction and will be opening sometime in 2009. It includes a fitness center, business center, full kitchen for events and private parties as well as both a lap and recreational swimming pool.

Townhomes in the Live-Work Collection are available in two spacious floor plans – one 2,903 and one 2,929 sq. ft., with prices starting in the $360s.
