What's New at Marrano - 10/23/10

Grand opening of our new model for unique Roswell Park Cancer Institute fundraiser.

We are Raising the Roof to support groundbreaking cancer research at Roswell Park.

"The grand opening of the Raising the Roof patio home model at Greythorne in Williamsville is our most important and special introduction this year," explained Patrick A. Marrano, president of Marrano/Marc Equity. "Not only is it a spectacular home, in a one of a kind community, the new model also symbolizes our commitment in the fight against cancer, as we will donate the proceeds from its sale to Roswell Park Cancer Insitute."

The new model at Greythorne is the culmination of a partnership among Marrano, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, and our business partners that we call Raising the Roof. Our business partners generously donated time, materials and talent to help build the new home, enabling us to raise as much as possible to support RPCI. We are dedicating the new home in honor and memory of Mary Miller, a long-time Marrano employee who passed away in 2010 following a courageous battle with cancer.

This is the third time we have built a new home and donated the proceeds to RPCI, with the past two Raising the Roof campaigns raising over $320,000. We hope to raise similar funds with this year's program and the model is available for immediate sale, showing what may be the most unique new home in  the area.

The grand opening takes place at 58 Harbridge Manor in Greythorne, our private, gated community off Main Street in Williamsville. The new model is situated on a home site that backs to the Country Club of Buffalo, offering breathtaking golf course view. Features of this exquisite patio home include:

• Classic, European inspired exterior elevation featuring Newport stone front and architectural roof
• Covered entryway with full, leaded glass door and sidelights
• Wide open floor plan with soaring ceilings from the foyer to the great room
• Hardwood floors throughout
• Large gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops, elegant cabinetry, center island, and wall of windows brightening the spacious eating area.
• Formal dining room opening to the great room with soaring ceiling, custom fireplace and extra wide sliding glass door to the backyard patio, overlooking the golf course.
• Private master bedroom suite with large sitting area, walk-in closet and more windows overlooking the country club.
• Master spa bath with clover leaf soaking tub, his and her vanities with Corian counters and separate glass enclosed shower.
• Open staircase leads to loft overlooking the great room and foyer -- decorated as a computer room and perfect for den/study, TV room or home office.
• Two large bedrooms centered on a full bath with ceramic tile

Adding to all the home's beautiful appointments is the surrounding Greythorne community itself. The Greythorne lifestyle is centered on exclusivity and privacy, designed among more than 30 acres of natural surroundings with home sites arranged for peace and quiet. Tree preserves, berms, common areas and lush landscaping create a resort-like feel.

Visit the grand opening and also tour our new model directly across the street at 57 Harbridge Manor. The model shows an open and innovative Ranch plan, enabling you to visit two different designs in one visit.

Take Main Street, east of Youngs Road to Greythorne. The models are open daily 1 to 5 PM. Call 809-8676 for more information.
