A new housing community is going up in North Englewood. Beechwood Builders will build Heritage Creek, a single-family community to be located off State Road 776 in Englewood, a half-mile south of Manasota Beach Road.
Beechwood Builders is a custom home and remodeling builder and has been in business for more than 15 years in the Sarasota County area, according to Roger Greig of Beechwood Realty. The price of a new home will start in the low $500,000 range. The homes will be built in the Key West-style, with 2,200-2,300 square feet of living space under air, he said.
“We’re going to promote it as ‘your house, your way, your price,’” Greig said. “They’re going to be fully custom homes and they’re going to be priced with all the crown molding, all the extras — even towel warmers in the bathrooms,” he said.
Greig said if a person does not want all the extras, a home can be built without them. Lot sizes will vary and most will be large enough to accommodate pools, if desired.
“There’s a lot of cul-de-sacs,” Greig said. “So there is not a set lot size.”
The community will consist of 35 home sites. Prospective owners will have the option of choosing from four different models, models with variations, or a fully customized home.
“This is the perfect mixed community,” Greig said. “We are not just gearing to the family or the empty-nester. We really see this subdivision as a small community with all age groups represented.”
Each home will be constructed to meet stringent hurricane codes with metal roofs, impact windows and doors. At the owner’s option, safe rooms and wired generators can be added as additional features.
Construction will begin on the models in February, with completion expected around August.
