Happy Homeowners from The Preserve

Enjoy this testimonial from the Rotundos, who live in our Preserve community, as they share their overall experience with @home Builders!

"We moved into The Preserve in June 2010. Our experience in the home buying and building process couldn’t have been any better, thanks to the @home Team. Renee made us feel very comfortable when we first began considering The Preserve. She was helpful and readily available to answer inquiries. Most importantly, at no time did we feel ever feel pressured into anything. Throughout the building process, Renee and our project manager were there to guide us through every step. We were continually informed of any updates to the house and consulted about all details. It couldn’t have gone any smoother.

Communication by the @home team has continued even after we have moved in. They are there to provide guidance on issues affecting the house and quickly available to consult regarding any warrant issue. If you are considering building a house, look no further than @home Builders at The Preserve. You will feel comfortable throughout the home buying and building process. In addition to the wonderful staff, the community is filled with a wonderful people."

Words From Perry Noun, General Manager of Timber Banks Golf Course

With Fall arriving, the newest golf community in Central New York looks to build on the momentum gained thus far in 2011. Timber Banks Golf Club & Marina Community in Baldwinsville has been the buzz around town for 2 years now and looks to remain so for years to come. The Nicklaus Design golf club, which is the only Nicklaus Design in Upstate New York, is no longer a secret. “The condition of the golf course is something that golfers in Syracuse have been waiting for” says General Manager Perry Noun III. “When you come down to Timber Banks you forget you are in Central New York. It is like a 4 hour vacation.”

The golf club is not the only thing jumping at Timber Banks. @home builders recently sold 2 more Villas and Heritage Homes has 2 homes under construction. Over the past 8 weeks, 4 homes have been sold in the newest lifestyle community in Central New York. There is no other residential community that can match the amenities available to the residents of Timber Banks which include the Nicklaus Design Golf Club, 2 miles of walking trails, the Wedding & Banquet Center and the Marina. Combine the amenities with all of the real estate options available, Timber Banks has become the premier residential community in Syracuse.

The affordability of buying in Timber Banks is surprising. Dollar for dollar it is the best value in all of Central New York. With the Villas starting at only $180,000, everyone has an opportunity to become a part of the Timber Banks family. Not only does Timber Banks offer Villas, but also available are town homes, cottage homes, single family and estate homes and resort style apartments. Across the board value is one of the major advantages of building and living in Timber Banks.

Owner and developer of Timber Banks, Gary Pooler, is continuing to invest in the capital improvements of the community. New improvements for this year include the gazebo right at the staging area and the gazebo right on the Seneca River which is our wedding ceremony site. This site is the most picturesque spot in all of Upstate New York with the signature 16^th hole in the foreground and the winding Seneca River in the background. Also new for this year is the completion of the cul-de-sac at the end of Long Shadow Drive. This road was completed because of the increasing demand for cottage homes and estate homes. The lots available on the cul- de- sac are the premier lots at Timber Banks. One estate home is currently under construction and with the interest in the other lots, they will not last long.

The events that have been held are a major draw, as well. From the Fairway to Ireland golf tournament and live concert to the Spring Open, the Timber Banks Wedding & Banquet Center is a centerpiece of the community. There will be a Bridal Show held September 25^th and is open to the public! Stay tuned for details or contact General Manager Perry Noun III at (315) 635-8800 or by e-mail at perry@timberbanks.com.

@home Builders Welcomes The Bumpus’ Into Their Timber Banks Villa!

@home Builders would like to welcome the Bumpus’ into their villa within the Timber Banks Community! Enjoy this testimonial from the happy homeowners!

"We cannot begin to tell you how happy we are that we chose to build our villa patio home in the Timber Banks community with @home Builders. We decided to build a villa mainly because we felt with the overall layout and plan of the villa, we would get more value for our money. It was not just the overall craftsmanship of the home itself, but the surrounding amenities that drew us. The use of the clubhouse, pool, hot tub and fitness center are within easy access and the staff is courteous. In addition, being surrounded by Timber Bank’s spectacular Nicklaus designed golf course is an added bonus. Never avid golfers, we are taking advantage of playing there on a regular basis and taking lessons from the pro as well.

As empty nesters, we were looking to downsize but still have the opportunity to entertain guests. The villa has the perfect layout, giving private space for those who visit. The open concept, with the kitchen overlooking the great room, is perfect for entertaining a large crowd. We chose to build our villa with a basement with the thought it would be an added bonus for us in the future when finished.

We also cannot say enough positive things about the people who you employ. Paul, the head contractor and Teresa, your sales representative were there whenever questions needed to be immediately answered or work orders needed to be added. We found the contractors hired to work on the villa knowledgeable and more than willing to answer questions we posed during the different walkthroughs. Laurie’s experience at your showroom in Canandaigua to choose what went in our home went smoothly. Having all of the choices for kitchen cabinets to plumbing fixtures to floors to paint colors all under one roof made it an easy process to construct what we envisioned for our home.

The necessary meetings regarding the house with Brian, Paul and Teresa were always productive. Any issues we had were always rectified in a timely fashion. Laurie especially appreciated the fact that we could approach the HOA for a more colorful landscape design and worked with your landscaper to achieve it.

Again, we thank you for making us feel "At Home". We hope that in the near future more people will take the time to come see and make the decision to build in the beautiful area you are creating here in Baldwinsville, New York."
