The model home is inspired by the 18th century architecture of the Hudson Valley region, particularly that found in the Village of Warwick. It was designed with a sophisticated buyer in mind, one who wants less house and less yard, but also a more unique design, high-quality construction, and a choice of options.
An “outdoor room” adjacent to the house is defined by side fencing for privacy, with brick pavers and space for a garden. Floor plans and interior detailing reflect the lifestyles of the active adults with no children. The living room is spacious and bright with a welcoming fireplace. Nearby is an open kitchen with generous room for appliances and storage and an open dining room. Also on this level is a master bedroom in a private suite. On the second floor are located two guest rooms and “flex” space that can serve as a home office.
Perhaps the house’s most distinctive architectural features are its steep and protective roof and its deep, welcoming front porch, recalling classic farmhouses in the region.
