Your Duty-Free Dwelling

Your next home comes with extra money in your pocket

With so many choices these days, one choice remains crystal clear: a 15-year tax abatement on a new home at Edgebrook Villas is not an offer to merely pass up without taking a peak.

Edgebrook Development Company Builder David Schmitt says this offer can mean a savings of more than $2,000 on yearly real estate taxes -- totaling a substantial nest-egg over the 15-year period. In addition to owning a beautiful, well-crafted home, Schmitt said he knows security and stability are paramount, which is why the company makes such a desirable offer.

Now that the threat is off your wallet, potential owners are able to focus on the plethora of amenities and conveniences offered at their new Edgebrook Villa.

The exterior of the featured home at 6037 Brookridge Court, boasts a stone front elevation with cream siding, which is accentuated by a peaked picture window. Walk up the poured concrete walkway to the covered front porch, which is nestled between the garage and exterior bedroom wall to protect the owner and their guests from the elements.

Upon entering, visitors are welcomed by a graceful entryway where Oak hardwood floors gleam beautifully underfoot. To the left are stairs leading down to the partial basement, while at right a guest closet and the first of three bedrooms are easily accessible.

The bedroom ties the elements of nature with the coziness of a sleeping space. The picture window offers an abundant source of natural light, while the vaulted ceiling creates an open flow. When evening draws near, recessed lighting provides subtle illumination and drama to the room.

Adjacent to the bedroom is a full bath where a cultured marble countertop and brushed nickel hardware, create a stylish and sturdy ambiance to the space.

With its good looks and semi-private location within the home, this area could be utilized as an ideal guest suite.

At the end of the foyer is the great room. The cathedral ceiling makes a dramatic statement. The room is anchored by a gas fireplace with a marble surround and a raised hearth. A white wood mantel adorns the fireplace, creating a perfect spot to display your unique items.

The master suite can be accessed off the great room. This luxurious owner’s retreat offers a place for quiet relaxation. A deep tray ceiling adds a touch of elegance to the room, and the attached bathroom offers a private escape. Owners can enjoy the walk-in shower with two seats, the private water closet, and the raised dual vanity. Neighboring the bath is the large walk-in closet, which makes a desirable dressing area.

Across the great room, close to the kitchen, is the dining area. A generous space, it also includes a door that leads to a poured concrete patio where outdoor entertaining meets indoor amenities.

The kitchen, a key conversation room in any home, includes a peninsula snack bar so guests can visit with the cook while not interfering with the cooking space. This home boasts ample counter space, and standard features such as a GE electric stove, a vented range hood, recessed lighting, and more. Beyond mere functionality, this kitchen touts style. Birch cabinets, recessed lighting and neutral countertops create a modern and functional look sure to please any chef. Additionally, a convenient pantry provides even more storage space.

Off the kitchen is a short hall. Another bedroom, shown in this model as an office, is tucked away for the sake of solitude.

Other features of this Edgebrook Villa includes ample closet space, a main-floor laundry room, and a two-car garage with pull-down stairs for easy access to attic storage.

This model home, the Woodbridge, is just one of five offered by Edgebrook Development Company. Sixteen lots are available in this well-located development, close to Kroger, Walmart, and with easy access to I-475 and US 23. Homeowners’ association fees are only $100 a month, and include lawn care, snow removal and leaf pick-up.

New home prices in this development begin at $139,900. The home is open 1-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, or by appointment by calling Julie Fisher at (419) 343-8834. To get to the home, head west on Edgebrook Boulevard and follow the road to Brookridge Court.
