HOMESTEAD DESIGN is proud to offer its latest town home neighborhood, HEATHERFIELD, located in the heart of South Burlington. Heatherfield is the "total package", combining a prime in-town location, design and construction excellence, and carefully preserved stands of trees and wetlands.

Homestead Design is offering three different townhome designs, each combined with different floor plan choices as well as a large variety of quality finish and feature options. We have focused thirty years of experience in creating one of Vermont's finest new neighborhoods at Heatherfield.

Neighborhood description:

HEATHERFIELD consists of 45 acres, located close to the core of South Burlington, as well as to a spectrum of services, institutions, and shopping. 83 townhomes will be built over a period planned to extend through 2009.

A new connecting road, Songbird Lane, connects Dorset and Spear streets, which in turn feed the various clusters of homes in the neighborhood. The permitting for Heatherfield took over four years to achieve with a great deal of local and state oversight, but the results were worth it. Heatherfield's site is an important natural area, largely wooded, and containing seven distinct wetland areas. In addition to the connector road, a recreation path will run its entire length, east to west, and ultimately link the recreation paths running along Spear and Dorset. Natural gas and all other electrical, phone, and cable TV lines will all be underground, and will serve all homes in the neighborhood.

Neighborhood amenities:

On site amenities include the 45 acre site, including natural areas, wetlands, ponds and woods.

The Townhome Design:

The design, construction details, options, and specification selections at Heatherfield are the result of HDI's experience in crafting quality multi-family communities. Before starting construction, we fine tuned our designs with a panel of past and present HDI townhome owners. Paying attention to homeowner feedback has made us a better building company and has paid off for Homestead owners with every successive project, in enjoyment and value.

There are two different series offered at Heatherfield, Series I and Series II. Both series are comparable in plan configuration, but Series II plans and specifications are more luxurious.  When purchased pre-construction, any townhome location may receive an optional wood paneled sunroom, complete with a charming glass doored gas stove, as well as "gourmet" kitchen options including a gas cooktop, wall ovens and professional range hood.

The Cedar, is presented as our furnished model and incorporates many appealing relationships in its plan. The large kitchen incorporating many unique features, including a walk-in pantry, and long, curving raised bar. The corner study, with its French door from the spacious front entry hall, will be a favorite retreat. The living and dining areas flow into each other and relate well to the kitchen, located so the chef (s) won't feel out of the action. In addition, the dining room bay will make mealtime an experience that will bring some of Heatherfield's attractive outdoor environment inside.

The upstairs plan provides for three bedrooms including a spacious master suite with walk-in closet. In addition there is a second floor laundry area.  The Cedar also incorporates a large second floor storage room.
