Olthof Homes is pleased to introduce Centennial, located just minutes from the 805-acre spring fed recreational lake in the heart of northwest Indiana’s Cedar Lake.
“At all of our communities, we’ve found that our customers like the pricing of the homes as well as the lasting quality. Whether a customer chooses to keep the home simple, or whether they choose to add a higher level of options and finishes, we always have the best price for the market area,” Todd Olthof of Olthof Homes, says. “Our slogan this year has been ‘Own More, Save More’ because customers can own more square footage, quality construction, luxury options and community amenities, while they save more money. We pulled more than half of the permits in Lake County in the first quarter of the year which tells us that the buying public sees these benefits as well.”
With 51 new homes already spoken for in Centennial, this exciting new Olthof community officially celebrates its grand opening today, according to new home consultant Maggie Schaum.
“Cedar Lake is an amazing up and coming area with excellent municipal services and award-winning schools,” she says. “Along with all the benefits of living in such a charming lakeside town, people really like the fact that it’s not so congested out here.”
Conveniently located just a few minutes east of Route 41 on 141st, Centennial offers residents resort-style living adjacent to Cedar Lake’s quaint downtown shopping area which borders the lake and more than 7 miles of shoreline where you can enjoy tranquil beaches, swimming, boating and water skiing all summer long. With amenities that include a winding walking path, several beautiful ponds, 35 acres of open green space and a well-equipped playground, you can choose the new home that best meets your needs.
Centennial includes two townhome plans from the $110s, four Paired Cottage Home plans from the $130s and six Single Family Home plans from the $160s. Plus, during the month of May, you’ll receive free GE stainless steel appliances and a GE washer and dryer, valued up to nearly $5,000, with the purchase of your new Olthof home.
“So far, the Heritage Townhome is our most popular plan in Centennial,” Schaum says. “You really get a lot of square footage for your money with this plan, and people are impressed with the open-concept first floor, which is ideal for entertaining, and the fact that there are two huge bedrooms upstairs, with the option of making this a 3-bedroom home. Plus everyone has their own private front entrance along with access to their own 1-car attached garage in the rear of the home.”
You can see all the great features of the Heritage Townhome by touring the model during Centennial’s grand opening today from 10am-5pm. There are also models of the Drake Single Family home and Chesapeake Paired Cottage home for you to check out. Be sure to ask about the few remaining ready-to-move-in opportunities at Centennial when you visit.
“We’ve been working with a lot of first-time homebuyers who want to take advantage of the fully-refundable $8,000 tax credit before the December 1 deadline,” Schaum says. “As a result, there is just one Anthem Townhome with 1,240 square feet of living space, 2 bedrooms and one and a half baths available to move in right now for $117,357. Because there has been so much interest in the Townhomes here, Olthof is currently working on another building, where you can choose your floor plan and all your selections while they last.”
Other Ready To Move In opportunities at Centennial include the Shorewood Single Family home with 2,493 square feet of living space, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, upstairs flex space for family room or home office, 4-season sunroom, full basement and 2-car garage for $237,533; and the Chesapeake Paired Cottage with 1,515 square feet of living space, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and den in a ranch plan with dozens of luxurious upgrades for $169,593.
“We want everyone to know that May is the last month Olthof can guarantee closing in order to qualify for the first-time homebuyer tax credit if you choose to build a Single Family home or a Paired Cottage home,” Schaum says. “For our Townhome plans there’s a little more time, but not a lot since it takes 75 days from the time you choose a plan and all your selections in a building that’s already under construction. Once the current building sells out, we’ll have to see where we stand on that.”
Since the individual models at Centennial offer just a hint of the many opportunities for personal expression in an Olthof home, you’ll have the opportunity to work with the company’s talented design staff when it comes time make all the final selections for your new home.
Only a few miles north on Route 41 from Centennial, the Olthof Homes Design Center brings together all the options you have to distinguish your home with individual choices. From two full walls of flooring, ranging from carpet, ceramic, linoleum and wood to an elaborate bathroom and kitchen faucet display that showcases a variety of styles in the available finishes of chrome, stainless steel, satin nickel, oil-rubbed bronze and polished brass, there are hardware options, cabinet choices, countertop materials, state-of-the-art appliances and much, much more.
Once all your selections are made and your new home is complete, Olthof’s Customer Care Department takes over to meet all of your needs throughout the warranty period, with a dependable 24-hour on-call service to assist you and ensure that you always feel safe and secure in your new home.
