Arbor Knoll’s Porter Floorplan Wins 2019 Synergy Award from area Homebuilders Associations

On April 11, 2019, at its annual Synergy Awards for excellence, the Homebuilders Associations of Montgomery, Bucks, Chester and Delaware Counties awarded Arbor Knoll’s Porter II floor plan the best multifamily floor plan for its size category. At nearly 1700 s.f., the Porter II townhome offers tremendous value for the money.

The innovative back-to-back design has a tandem two car garage tucked beneath the home. The resulting higher density keeps costs down and prices more affordable. All 34 homes at Arbor Knoll are affordably priced for the market, which, coupled with attractive financing for first time homebuyers have resulted in the entire community being nearly sold out in less than a year. Despite its complex design, a great deal of natural light floods the living spaces through oversized ceilings and tall windows with transoms. As a result, the home feels very private despite its being situated between two other homes and in back of a third home. Extensive sound mitigation construction details ensure maximum privacy. Outdoor living spaces are provided by both a spacious balcony off the living level plus a huge roof deck. The top floor bedroom can flex as a man-cave or family room and its optional bathroom has been purchased by most homebuyers. The Porter II’s 4 story vertical design offers the millennial buyer the privacy of a townhome with extensive living space in 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The stairs do not seem to bother this young buyer. The majority purchasing this value-packed plan have a young child or are starting their families. As a result, this is the perfect entry level starter home for a growing family. "We are so gratified that over 90 percent of the homes sold at Arbor Knoll are to first time homebuyers," says Sarah Peck, President of the company developing Arbor Knoll. "And most households earn less than 120% of the county’s median income. It is rare to find well built, new construction homes in this location at such an affordable price point" All homes at Arbor Knoll are now sold. The decorated model home is now available for sale.

Hayden Model at Danley Townhomes Wins Homebuilders Association Synergy Awards

At their annual Synergy awards ceremony, the Home Builders Associations of the four suburban counties of Philadelphia awarded the 2016 Townhome of the Year in its size category to the Hayden model at the Danley Townhomes, a unique new townhome community in Bryn Mawr.  The Hayden model also received merit recognition for Best Interior Merchandising.   The Hayden’s design, along with Danley’s convenient walkable location one block from the center of Bryn Mawr has spurred its strong success in the market.  The Hayden has attracted downsizing empty nesters as well as professional couples and even families seeking a low maintenance, less expensive lifestyle with the freedom to walk one block to the heart of Bryn Mawr and its commuter train, restaurants, shops, theater, parks and schools.  The interior merchandising appeals perfectly to this diverse target market.  A crisp color palette of classic navy with medium blue hues and white and soft gray accents, along with richly diverse dark woods in the furniture and flooring has created a sophisticated yet comfortable transitional style décor. Hosted by the Home Builders associations of Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, and Delaware Counties and judged by an independent panel of industry experts, the annual Synergy Awards honor excellence in construction, design, sales and marketing by members.
