nAturAL seLection Cont'd from page 40 "Because both homes are smaller, we worked especially hard on creating layouts that maximized all available space. There's lots of room in the great room due to its open layout, and upstairs, there's hardly any hallway so there's no wasted space. At the same time you get features such as a second-floor laundry and large tri-pane windows that let in all kinds of light, yet are very en- ergy efficient." Broadview Homes has also put its best foot forward to offer in- novative, value-packed homes. A prime example is the compa- ny's series of courtyard homes on Sage Creek Boulevard in Sage Creek. debra Mosher, sales represen- tative for the 1,749-square-foot Cedar Court — Broadview's fea- tured show home at 714 Sage Creek Blvd. — says it combines the livability of a single-family home with the convenience of a condominium. "The courtyard homes offer great value for the price," she says. "First and foremost, they're very livable. Ceilings are nine feet on the main floor, while the ceiling in the great room is 18 feet high. When you add a front wall filled with a collection of large, south-facing windows, sunlight flows freely through the home almost all day long. In the winter, that sunlight warms up the home." Those windows also come very much into play when you're up- stairs. "The lake view from the loft is gorgeous, and the view of the living room from both the stairs and loft is pretty spectacular too," says Mosher. "Contempo- rary finishes throughout the home also give it a warm, mod- ern feel, and its overall design makes it so easy to live in." Features of note include two full baths upstairs plus a powder room on the main floor, the aforementioned loft, a second-floor laundry room and the home's pièce de résistance — a small, private courtyard.
