ATTENTION: EDITOR Legends at Saint Johns Redefining Condo Lifestyle THE LEGENDS AT SAINT JOHNS, ST. AUGUSTINE, FL – Condominiums at The Legends can be a great stepping stone into the housing market for first-time homebuyers or the perfect place for those seeking a carefree life of after years of home ownership. They provide a means of building equity without the hassles of yardwork and other outdoor maintenance projects, as well as many of the indoor chores and financial responsibilities that single-family homeowners typically face. “Condos build equity almost as fast as single-family homes,” said Mary Anne Hashem, Director of Builder Services for Prudential Network Realty, the exclusive marketers of The Legends at Saint Johns. “In many cases condominiums are more affordable than a comparable single-family home. A home in the starter category of around $120,000 is most likely older and in need of renovation and maintenance. For the same price, first-time buyers can purchase a brand-new one-bedroom, one-bathroom condominium at The Legends.” In addition to building equity, homeowners can take pride in knowing they own an award-winning condominium in a premier location. Recently, The Legends received a prestigious Excel Award from the Southeast Sales and Marketing Council that honors builders, developers, on-site sales people, and professionals in real estate, public relations, marketing, and advertising for their outstanding accomplishments towards the sale and marketing of new homes through sales performance and print, radio or TV media campaigns. Earlier this year, Sisler-Johnston Interior Designs won the 2003 Laurel Award for Best Multi-Family Merchandising ($200,000-$499,999) for The Legends’ Unit “F” model, a second-level two bedroom plus den with attached garage Decorated in shades of caramel and warm beige with green and golden accents, the “F” model highlights many of The Legends’ tremendous standard features.
