This project is designed for detached single level villas. The homes are 40 feet wide and 50 to 65 feet
deep. They will have a two car garage and range in size from 1500 to 2000 square feet on the main
floor. All the homes will have a covered porch. The smallest unit will have 2 bedrooms and 2 baths on
the main floor. The middle unit will have 3 bedrooms or 2 bedrooms and a den. And the largest unit
will have 3 bedrooms plus a den. 11 units wilt have walk out lower levels. 5 units with took out windows
on the lower level and 5 units with full basements or stab on grade. All units will be fully handicap
adaptable. Interiors will have 9 to 10 foot ceilings, granite countertops and luxury master baths.
Exteriors will be cement board and vinyl siding with stone accents. Dimensional shingles (25 year).
The project will have an HOA association. The HOA will take care of everything exterior. Specifically,
the snow removal, lawn mowing and sprinkler systems. Ail exterior maintenance of the home as well
(roofing, siding and painting).The HOA will also be responsible for the outlots.
The premise of the project is to have a home that I can live in till I'm quite elderly and only have the
interior of my unit to maintain. My unit will be adaptable to any changes in my health. And I can lock
the door and go anywhere for any amount of time and not worry about the exterior. Condo type
freedom while I'm still living in my detached single family.
The site itself offers a lot of SW exposure over a large wetland. Hopefully lots of wildlife and birds. The
site is also very conveniently located just off of 212 for easy access in multiple directions.
The price range for the units will be in the high 300's to the high 400's. And we feel that detached
single family units wilt add to the value of all the existing housing in the area more so than any other
type of product. There also is a demand for this type of unit in this price range for people 55 plus
(although this is not an age restricted community) wanting to downsize, have more freedom to go south
in the winter or travel more and yet have their own home not attached to someone else.
