| Why buy a Weekender Home? | To find that ultimate weekend experience through
a housing product that can enhance lifestyle through the relaxed spaces
both inside and outside. Whether it is on our split-level terrace concept
for the grilling, relaxing in the spa, or enjoying your morning coffee and
reading a book around the fountain terrace. Inside enjoy the beauty and
warmth of natural woods, the ceiling is cypress, the flooring is bamboo,
the cabinets are shaker design cherry, and the remaining millwork is stained
hardwoods. The countertops use both natural stone and the best of new age
acrylics. The music can hit any note: both high and low. Active surround
sound hits the high notes, and then there is passive sound, for relaxing
and conversing with family and friends. Lighting can be adjusted to fit
any mood, whether it is to play cards, entertainment, or reading your favorite
book. If we missed any of life’s pleasures with our Weekender Homes, let us know, so we can incorporate it into the next Weekender. We have only succeeded when we hear you to say: “This is as good as life gets”! |
