With the holiday season rapidly approaching, VanProoyen Builders would like to express their sincere gratitude for the long-term partnerships they have enjoyed with subcontractors, buyers and homeowners. They also greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet so many new people in their Madison Meadow's sales center who offer candid feedback about their individual needs for a new home.
"We're extremely fortunate to be working with an incredible group of key subcontractors that consistently delivers top-quality service and workmanship," Kami VanProoyen, who handles sales and marketing for VanProoyen Builders, said. "Special thanks to all of them for holding their prices so we can continue to offer what I consider to be the very best combination of quality and value available to new homebuyers in northwest Indiana."
VanProoyen's exceptional group of subcontractors includes: Evorik Electric, Kipp's Plumbing, Inc, Oak Glen Heating/Cooling, Ashford Builders for carpentry, Pinto's Concrete, Millenium Drywall, Hawkins Excavation, Gale Insulation, Bladecutters for landscaping, Tri-County Masonry, Ron VanProoyen Decorating for painting and Ashford Roofing.
"We would also like to sincerely thank our previous buyers and homeowners," VanProoyen said. "We recently rolled out a new Customer Loyalty Program that rewards our buyers/homeowners from the past 5 years for customer referrals. Basically, for every referral that stops in at our sales office, they can be entered into a monthly drawing for a $25 gift certificate to a local restaurant. If one of their referrals purchases and closes on a Van Prooyen home, they will receive a check for $250. We just awarded our first dinner certificate and look forward to meeting more referrals next month."
Bringing the proven community development plan that continues to serve homebuyers well in Merrillville's Teal Crossing and Villas of Creekwood Crossing, Hobart's Deep River Pointe and Schererville's Prairie Estates, VanProoyen is currently at work in Merrillville's Madison Meadows, where you have the option to purchase or build an affordable custom-quality maintenance-free paired villa or single-family home in a surprisingly peaceful setting conveniently located just north of Route 30 on Madison St.
Bordered by Southmoor Park, an established and well-maintained single-family neighborhood, Madison Meadows is a warm and inviting neighborhood that welcomes you home with a striking main entrance. Just beyond the distinctive marker, you'll find a peaceful pond with lighted fountain for dramatic night viewing and an attractive natural border with established plants, grasses and wildflowers surrounding a large green space with irrigation to keep it looking fresh.
To help ensure the beauty and continuity of Madison Meadows for years to come, VanProoyen Builders has included extra touches like spun-aluminum light poles and matching custom mailboxes throughout the community.
"We are also extremely appreciative of all of the feedback we receive from visitors and guests at our sales center," VanProoyen said. "Due to on-going requests for something priced in the mid-$120's and offering the same quality, selections and options found in our current model homes, we are re-introducing the Samantha, a 2-bedroom 2-bath 1,255 square foot paired ranch villa. Similar to the Hanna and Megan models, the Samantha also features an open-concept great room and kitchen with cathedral ceilings. Previously only available in Teal Crossing and Creekwood Crossing, the Samantha will start at $127,900 in Madison Meadows."
According to VanProoyen, there is only one other location in the area offering a 2-bedroom 2-bath paired ranch home at this price point. However, with Van Prooyen Builders you gain the added benefits of an on-site design/selection center to customize your homes flooring, lighting, and cabinetry without having to leave the development, coordinated designer mailboxes, Seagull custom lighting packages, preferential electrical placement to fit your unique needs and more, plus pro-rated homeowners' association dues, in Madison Meadows.
You also have the opportunity to build a single-family home on one of just 28 exclusive home sites in Madison Meadows. With all of the single-family homes situated on one of two cul-de-sac locations in the back of the community, your options include a number of oversized home sites in an appealing natural setting.
All total, there are more than a dozen home plans with a number of existing design options for you to choose from in Madison Meadows, and VanProoyen's excellent in-house design department can help you make just about any modifications to meet your unique needs. Other plans are welcome as well.
"Also based on repeated requests, we will be introducing a new single family home plan," VanProoyen said. "The Rainier will have 1,540 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths with dramatic cathedral ceilings in the dinette, great room, kitchen and master bedroom. Cathedral ceilings will be in optional in bedrooms 2 and 3. This home will also feature a main level laundry. Basements are as an option. Pricing will start at $178,900 for a lot and home package in Madison Meadows."
