Belvedere Ridge, Tolland CT

Picturesque, private and conveniently located are all adjectives that describe the active adult community of Belvedere Ridge.  Nestled within 44 acres, the development of 66 single detached homes offers buyers a variety of floor plans to choose from.  With a starting price point of $285,900, a buyer can select a floor plan that fits their needs.

 

Belvedere Ridge is a planned community, not a condominium.  This is an important plus for many 55 plus purchasers, since many come from existing single-family homes.  This is why so many maintenance reduced features were included in the home designs at Belvedere.  Monthly association fees, as a result, are very low.  Lawn mowing and snow removal are included in the association fees.

The home sites are very private and lightly wooded in back making this location an enchanting haven to relax and let stress dissipate.  This beautiful site has extensive walking trails along with a gazebo.  

 

While virtually all new subdivisions in the Tolland area have underground utilities, Belvedere Ridge has public water and sewer.  This is a really important item for many purchasers.

All the homes can be built to the buyer’s specifications with many desirable features included.  Standard features include thermo pane windows, a highly efficient furnace and central air conditioning.  Many of the lots offer walk-out basements that can be finished for additional flexible living space:   A craft room, extra bedroom, recreation room, a home office, or a home theatre are just a few of the possibilities.

 

There are many upgrades to choose from including a gas fireplace in the living room, a cathedral ceiling, hardwood floors, granite countertops, stainless appliances and crown molding to name a few.  Master bedroom suites may be located either on the first or second floor, depending on the model.  In choosing a model which has a bedroom on the main living level, the option of utilizing the upstairs space in many models as extra bedrooms for grandchildren, visitors or even a home office are possibilities.

 

The homes can be easily modified for buyers to make them handicapped accessible. Widening the door frames and hallways and offering special features in the bathroom area, such as walk-in showers, are just some of the options that are offered. 

Storage space is abundant in these light and bright homes.  The homes offer plenty of cabinet space and walk-in closets in the master bedrooms.  Some models offer the opportunity to have the laundry location close to the master bedroom. 

Come view the open houses at this development on Wednesdays from 4-6, Fridays from 4-6, and Saturdays & Sundays from 1-4.  Come and see for yourself how much value is offered at Belvedere Ridge.
