GrayStone Woods

Successful Duo Creates New Neighborhood

1/27/2012

Live in a gorgeous home just like the GrayStone Woods model above and enjoy a 15-year tax abatement, amazing energy efficiency and convenience to everything!

The model home for GrayStone Woods, a new neighborhood off West Bancroft Street, offers the good looks and amenities you expect from quality new construction. In addition, it has something else: a 15-year tax abatement on the residence, an incentive which could save the new owner as much as $30,000.

Add to that the lowered costs on utility bills from increased energy efficiency, and you’re looking at some serious savings for this particular home.

Seneca Building Company, the successful developer of Brody Trace, has developed this property as well. The company itself is a collaboration between Ron Hensley of Cimarron Custom Homes, and Dick Leffler of Leffler Homes, both long-time builders. Their knowledge and combined expertise have led them to create neighborhoods of quality homes in popular styles. With over 40 years of combined experience in the building industry Ron and Dick are able to bring your dreams to reality.

The model home at 2120 Oakside Road is no exception. A poured concrete drive and walkway lead to the home. The exterior is vinyl with a beautiful stone skirting; a long front porch is supported by attractive tapered stone and wood pillars.

Step through the sidelighted front entry to the foyer. A high ceiling makes this a grand entrance, and a guest closet is very convenient. To the right is the combination kitchen and dining area. The high definition countertop is durable and enhanced with a glass tile backsplash. Maple cabinets have a velvety-soft grain, and are topped with crown molding. A long peninsula adds extra counterspace and opens the kitchen to the great room; it also doubles as a breakfast bar. Black

Whirlpool appliances contrast nicely with the cabinet color and they are included in the price of the home.

The generously proportioned dining area is lit by a brushed nickel chandelier. A window at the front of the home allows plenty of light; all windows in this home are Silverline by Anderson.

The focus of the great room is a gas fireplace with a tile surround and a custom wood mantle. A sliding door nearby leads to a covered concrete patio, and creates the perfect way to meld indoors and out for summer entertaining.

A short hall off the great room leads to the bedrooms. The master bedroom is highlighted by a deep tray ceiling with a fan. It has a private bath, with a large double vanity with a cultured marble top. A deep soaking tub offers the promise of relaxing bubble baths. The large, step-in shower with seat is nestled below a curved archway. A linen closet and a walk-in closet provide ample storage.

Two secondary bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet, share a hall bath and another linen closet.

Another hall, this one off the foyer, leads to the first floor laundry room, access to the staircase leading to the partial basement, and to the two-car garage.

An upgraded insulation package, a 30-year roof, and a 92 percent efficient furnace mean that you can count on low energy bills for the life of this home. A full security system has been installed, and a full landscaping package is included.

This home comes with so many amenities that it is impossible to list them all, but the builders emphasize that the home can be completely customized, from the choices in flooring to cabinets, countertops and colors. Seneca Building Company has an in-house decorator who will work with you to create the look and style you desire. You may even bring your own floorplan, if it will fit within GrayStone Woods lots.

The model home at 2120 Oakside Road in Toledo, as shown, can be replicated for $182,900. Base models begin at $156,900. The model is open weekdays by appointment and Sundays from 1 p.m.to 4:00 p.m. or by appointment by calling Shad Ortman of Key Realty at 419-350-2196.
