The Villages at Timber Oak

DANBURY, CT. – The “Quick Delivery” townhomes at The Villages at Timber Oak are opening the door to homeownership for many thanks to builder incentives and federal programs which simplify the purchasing process and significantly alleviate the financial burden.

For a limited time, Baker Residential – developer of the community – will provide homebuyers who receive financing through a sponsor approved lender with $10,000 towards closing costs on the popular residences which offer occupancy dates weeks after signing a contract. The Villages at Timber Oaks is also approved by the Federal Housing Administration, meaning this special offer combined with friendly FHA financing programs that require as little as a 3% to 5% downpayment for first-time buyers dramatically reduces the amount of initial money needed when purchasing.

What’s more, six of the community’s “Quick Delivery” homes are expected to be completed within the next sixty days, meaning buyers who act quickly and purchase one of these residences can still benefit from the $8,000 Federal Homebuyer Tax Credit by closing on their new home before December 1st, 2009.

“The programs now being offered on these ‘Quick Delivery” homes are bringing many young couples and families one step closer to realizing the dream of ownership,” says Elizabeth Bauer, Sales Representative for Baker Residential, which is developing the collection of 278 townhomes and 50 duplex residences in the Fairfield County towns of Danbury and Bethel.

“One of the most difficult hurdles in purchasing is finding enough capital at the time of purchase and our closing cost incentive along with FHA financing greatly helps eliminate some of that concern. The federal tax credit is another popular way to ensure eligible first-time homebuyers receive tremendous value.”

Some of the community’s most popular and affordable homes — The Brice, Richmond, Franklin and Edison — are represented in the “Quick Delivery” residences, indicates Ms. Bauer. Each of the layouts offer three-bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, attached two-car garage and finished basements, priced from the high-$300,000’s.

Upon entering The Villages at Timber Oak, guest and residents are captivated by the community’s style and grace thanks to the elegant Arts & Crafts-inspired housing designs that evoke images of a small New England-style neighborhood.

Each of the impressive six housing designs come complete with standard high-end amenities such as upgraded lighting, and gourmet kitchens with breakfast areas, separate living and dining rooms and deluxe master suites with walk-in closets and tiled master baths with relaxing soaking tubs and/or separate walk-in shower.

Priced from $359,990, residences at Timber Oak range in size from 2,248 to 3,078 square feet of space and offer two-car garages, while single-family style duplex residences have full basements and townhomes offer a finished lower level.
