Alterra is set to be one of the area’s most coveted communities due to its prime location in the highlands of Newcastle, superb access to nature, and elegant design. Alterra residents are expected to have direct access to the expansive Newcastle Trail System, which connects to 35 miles of hiking trails in the Cougar Mountain Regional Wildlife area. Newcastle offers easy access to tech hubs in Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland, and is a smooth commute to and from Seattle. Alterra’s home designs boast up to 4,200 square feet and feature swoon-worthy kitchens, ample space to entertain, and covered outdoor living areas suitable for the Pacific Northwest. Each home is expected to feature five to six bedrooms, three to five baths, and two-bay garages. Prices are anticipated to start in the $2 millions, and the community is located at 13736 SE 85th Street, Newcastle, Washington.
Two model homes that will be available for viewing at Alterra come from the brilliant interior design mind of Berk, who first became known for his work transforming lives and living spaces on Netflix’s Queer Eye and has since established himself as a preeminent leader in the design industry. Berk took inspiration from the beauty of the Pacific Northwest when designing these model homes, which are expected to include the following design styles:
- Classic Transitional: Marries the timeless elegance of traditional aesthetics with the clean lines and simplicity of contemporary décor.
- Contemporary Woodland Retreat: Where mid-century elegance converges with a palette inspired by coastal hues. Features clean lines, natural textures, and dusty blue and green accents.
Alterra is part of a larger collaboration between Tri Pointe Homes and Bobby Berk, which allows homebuyers to engage with the two brands in various ways. First, they take the Style Finder to determine their personal Bobby Berk x Tri Pointe Homes style. Then, they can select finishes from the 10 exclusive collections curated by Bobby Berk for Tri Pointe Homes, that correspond with that style. Finally, they can even purchase furniture in their selected Bobby Berk x Tri Pointe Homes style.
“I was truly inspired by the gorgeous surroundings at Alterra, which translated into designs for the model homes that I feel create serenity and a sense of peace,” said Berk. “I can’t wait for people to experience my designs as part of their homebuying journey – I hope they consider purchasing a Tri Pointe home so they can gain access to the wonderful design resources available through our collaboration.”
This is the third Tri Pointe Homes community in the Puget Sound area to feature Berk’s designs – previously, the designer collaborated on homes in Kirkland, as well as Glacier Pointe at Tehaleh, where homes are currently selling.
“We’re proud to once again employ the talents of Bobby Berk to work on one of our new home communities,” said Ken Krivanec, Division President of Tri Pointe Homes Washington. “We currently have an interest list of almost 600 potential residents and could not be more thrilled at the excitement that is building around this community.”
At Alterra, golfers can enjoy easy access to The Golf Club at Newcastle which boasts over 350 acres of championship level golfing. Newcastle Elementary School is a short walk away from Alterra homes, making pick-ups and drop offs a breeze.
