Throughout October, you can benefit from special birthday savings when you choose to purchase or build an affordable custom-quality home in Madison Meadows, a surprisingly peaceful setting conveniently located just north of Route 30 on Madison St.
"We're extremely fortunate to be working with an incredible group of key subcontractors who recently agreed to join us in rolling back prices," Kami Van Prooyen, who handles sales and marketing for Van Prooyen Builders, said. "As a result, we are now offering $3,000 in savings for all of our buyers who sign a contract on or before October 30th. Since my birthday falls at the end of October, we decided to make it a month-long celebration."
The exceptional subcontractors working in Madison Meadows include: 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 Van Prooyen Decorating for painting and Ashford Roofing.
With the option to apply your savings where you need it most, to reduce the price of your new home or toward closing costs for example, Van Prooyen Builders gives you the flexibility to maximize your investment as you see fit.
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.
"More than half of the paired villas in Madison Meadows have been sold since the development got underway a little more than 2 years ago," Dan Durochik of McColly Real Estate, the realtor liaison for Van Prooyen Builders, said. "When people come out here, they are definitely surprised by how remote it feels for being so near Route 30. After they tour the models, they are further impressed by the quality and affordability of a Van Prooyen home."
Since establishing VanProoyen Builders in 1992, Craig VanProoyen's steadfast commitment to quality craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail and professionalism at all levels continue to be the foundation of his growing company. You'll find their paired-villas in Merrillville's Creekwood Crossing and Teal Crossing, as well as Hobart's Deep River Pointe on the Supervisor's Golf Course. The company's luxurious single-family homes have been the choice of buyers in some of the area's most desirable neighborhoods, including Briar Ridge, Prairie Estates, White Hawk Country Club and Ellendale Farms.
In fact, Craig VanProoyen firmly believes that much of his current success is based on the popularity of his past projects. He also takes great pride in the fact that his company provides custom options while maintaining affordable prices.
As the company's premiere signature development, Madison Meadows will include a total of 166 homes, a combination of their popular ranch-style paired villas, brand-new 2-story paired villas and single-family homes.
For those looking to enjoy the benefits of maintenance-free living, ranch paired-villas start at $132,900 (1,376 sq ft) up to $144,400 (1,635 sq ft) and feature extraordinary open-concept plans with great rooms, eat-in kitchens, utility rooms and 2-car garages.
