BAYPORT
turesque Lake’s Bay, with
breathtaking water views.
Bayport homeowners also
appreciate and benefit
from K. Hovnanian’s commitment to quality workmanship. Thanks to the
company’s award-winning
standards of homebuilding
quality, the community was
fortunate to survive hurricane Sandy with no homes
flooded, in spite of the
neighborhood’s proximity
to the water.
Leonard Golden purchased a two-story Wagner
home. He moved into his
new home last April and
couldn’t be happier. “What
really got me was the location,” Golden said. “I’m
originally from Philadelphia and being from the
city, I always wanted to live
on the water! The views are
really nice and I love my
place. I’ve never moved
into a brand-new home before. It’s very energy efficient and the vaulted ceilings are very nice.”

end up being so close to the
price of a mortgage,” Golden shares. “The rentals
were right in line with what
I would be paying on a
mortgage, so I seriously
started to focus on buying
as opposed to renting. And I
still had my mind set on
Bayport.”
Golden returned to Bayport to look once again. “I
just liked being there,” he
laughs. “And this time
when I went, one of the
models I liked was coming
available soon. So we
stayed in touch and it finally worked out.”
Bayport on Lake’s Bay
offers 2- or 3-story townhomes featuring up to
2,000+ square feet of living
space, with 2–3 bedrooms,
2½ bathrooms and 1-car garages. The community features a private clubhouse
and pool overlooking pic-

home and creating new
memories at the Jersey
Shore.”
This eagerness to rebuild what has been lost
has increased the interest
in modular home building.
Modular homes are unique
because they are built in a
climate-controlled facility
and offer multiple benefits
over traditional stick built
homes, specifically with
regard to the durability
and quality of the home
and the speed of construction. Zarrilli Homes, along
with their preferred architects and engineers, have
perfected the modular
construction process to
create a home that is second to none.
In fact, Zarrilli reports,
“Following post-storm site
inspections, it is confirmed that all of our
homes built throughout
the Jersey Shore including, but not limited to, Ortley Beach, Lavallette, Sea
Girt, Spring Lake, Brigantine, Brick, and Toms River, are all still standing.”
Modular homes are
constructed with shipping
in mind and are typically
built with 20% more material than a traditional
stick–built home to withstand the stress of transportation on a truck, thus
significantly increasing
the strength of your home.
Additionally, all Zarrilli
Homes’ projects are secured
with
Simpson
Strong –Tie ® strapping
which meet or exceed the
120 MPH wind zone requirements as well as all
new FEMA regulations.
Formerly an upgrade
on many of their homes,
Zarrilli is now including
the installation of a pilings
and blow out wall foundation system as a standard
for all homes constructed
at the shore. Included in
this foundation system are
smart flood/air vents, masonry street coat, as well
as the Durock® blowout
foundation wall system
that would allow a water
surge to flow under the
home as opposed to a standard masonry foundation
system that could collapse.
For those rebuilding after Sandy, homeowners
can choose from countless
sets of house plans that
Zarrilli has built in the
shore area. With little or no
modification, this can
greatly speed the construction process thus
making for a quicker
move-in date. For those
who might have the luxury
of time, a truly custom
home can be created at our
award winning design center.
Zarrilli Homes utilizes
a custom 3-D home design
software where clients can
take a virtual tour of their
home before any fabrication begins. The average–sized home takes approximately five days to be constructed at the factory
and, once set on its site, the
finish time typically takes
between 60 and 120 days
depending on the home’s
level of customization.
For over 15 years, Zarrilli has made it easy for
“I am honored to have
been selected for this very
distinctive award yet
again,” said Rosemary Urso, “When I work with both
home buyers and sellers, I
love to surpass their expectation of customer service and this award tells
me that they appreciate
my efforts.”
Urso, a Broker-Associate with Century 21Pacesetter Realty has been a
Realtor since 2004. Previous to becoming a licensed
agent in 2004, Rosemary
enjoyed several successful positions in Sales, Marketing and Customer Service Management.
All homes at Bayport
provide homeowners with
automatic membership in
The Bayport Club, an exclusive on-site clubhouse
with a fitness center, multipurpose room, library, catering kitchen and outdoor
swimming pool overlooking Lake’s Bay. “Having the
clubhouse is great and very
convenient,” Golden commented. “I like to use the
gym and I’ve had some people over to visit, and they
were able to use the pool.
The clubhouse is really a
nice centerpiece to have
when people come over.
Everybody who comes to
visit loves everything
here.”
Bayport on Lake’s Bay
has attracted many buyers
like Leonard Golden with
its unique combination of
luxurious and affordable
townhome designs, waterfront living, exceptional
amenities and convenient
Jersey Shore location. Only
two miles from the exciteshore property owners to
start preparing for a new
modular home. With the increasing popularity of
modular homes in recent
years for teardown-rebuild projects along the
Jersey Shore, Zarrilli
Homes’ has streamlined
its modular construction
process and provides a
one-stop-shop approach to
building a custom modular
home.
This simple process
provides
professional
guidance every step of the
way, including the paperwork involved with financing, working with your
flood/homeowner’s insurance, all utility disconnects, demolition and related permits, through the
construction process and
warranty.
“Our quality customer
care team and consultative
approach will guide you effortlessly through the
modular
construction
process, allowing clients
to enjoy peace of mind
when redesigning and rebuilding their new home”
says Anthony Zarrilli.
