TOLL BROTHERS’ REGENCY AT PROSPECT
WALNUT MODEL WINS
2009 BEST OF 50+ HOUSING SILVER  AWARD

Toll Brothers’ Walnut Model at Regency at Prospect was recently named a Silver Award winner at the 2009 Best of 50+ Housing Awards.  Presented by the National Association of Home Builders’ 50+ Housing Council, the Best of 50+ Housing Awards is the premier design and marketing competition for the seniors housing industry.

The Walnut Model was recognized in the Best Attached Home at an Active Adult Community up to 2,000 sq. ft. category. The model was recognized by an elite panel of judges that included builders, developers, architects, marketing experts and other respected industry professionals. The panel chose finalists from nearly 200 total entries in more than 40 categories

“This year’s winners incorporated a high level of quality and lifestyle specific amenities to their projects,” said Pat Kelley, a St. Louis builder and 2009 chair of NAHB’s 50+ Housing Council. “Buyers and residents in this economic climate need to feel that their home purchase is going to provide exactly what will make their lives easy and satisfying. This year’s entrants stepped up to the plate and supplied competitive and attractive projects for the 50+ market.

”The 1,503-square-foot Walnut Model at Regency at Prospect is a popular home design for active-adult buyers because it offers the convenience of single-level living without sacrificing the spaciousness of a two-story floor plan.  With 9 ft. ceilings, an abundance of natural light, and an attractive end-unit location, this home’s interior is both airy and cozy.  An open, flowing floorplan make the Walnut perfect for entertaining.  The well-appointed kitchen with breakfast area and large family room with vaulted ceiling combine to create an ideal space for socializing with family and friends.  Accommodating overnight guests is effortless as they also enjoy a first floor bedroom with bath, yet offer adequate separation from the master bedroom for a private and unobtrusive visit.  The master suite features and expansive bedroom with coffered ceiling, a large walk-in closet, and an opulent master bath with cathedral ceiling.
