ALLAMUCHY, NJ – A 2,857 square-foot townhome with first-floor master suite has been a popular choice for buyers seeking the ease and convenience of one-level living, with the space and comfort of a two-story home at The Meadows at Panther Valley.

The three-bedroom Sherwood design has been particularly appealing to empty-nesters downsizing from larger single-family homes who want to eliminate the need for stairs, yet still have enough room for family and friends to visit and plenty of space to keep favored furniture and valuable possessions.

Priced from $377,490, the intelligent floorplan boasts a first floor perfect for living and entertaining with a spacious master bedroom, fully-equipped kitchen with separate breakfast room and formal living and dining rooms.  Upstairs provides considerable privacy for family and visiting guests, boasting two bedrooms, a full bath and expansive loft area.  There’s also an abundance of extra second-level storage space.

“There’s a large number of empty-nesters who want maintenance-free, one-level living without sacrificing the room they’ve grown accustomed to in their suburban single-family homes,” says Elizabeth Bauer, Director of Sales and Marketing for Baker Residential, the community’s developer.  “The Sherwood has been designed to accommodate their needs with an open and spacious layout that provides all the comforts of home on one floor and the added benefit of additional bedrooms and living space on the second floor.  Many of these townhomes also offer private, wooded lots with walk-out basements, creating a similar feel as a single-family residence.”

Homebuyers can get a true feel of the elegance and appeal of the Sherwood by touring a fully-furnished model home which also serves as the sales center for The Meadows at Panther Valley.

The upscale Orange County townhome community is fast approaching its 100th sale, meaning more than 50% of its 196 three-bedroom residences have been sold since its official opening less than two years ago.   The tremendous success of the Middletown, N.Y. neighborhood can be directly attributed to the wide spread appeal of its high quality, affordable priced homes and location in one of the Hudson Valley’s most desirable residential settings.

“Maple Fields is following the same pattern of success we’ve experienced at our other new home communities in Orange County, all which sold out in impressive fashion,” says Elizabeth Bauer, Baker’s Director of Sales and Marketing.  “The neighborhood is on a record breaking sales pace by attracting a large number of first-time homebuyers and growing families looking for an idyllic suburban lifestyle within a reasonable commute to Manhattan and northern New Jersey.

“They are turning to New York City’s northern suburbs where they can receive a high level of luxury, comfort and appeal at a price that’s within their budget.  The value offered Maple Fields has clearly stood out to these buyers.”

Baker Residential has released the third phase of three-bedroom townhomes at Maple Fields to accommodate the strong buyer demand.  Priced from $265,900, homes in the newest housing phase range in size from 2,274 to 2,329 square-feet of living space and provide a long list of upgrades in the purchase price.

Homebuyers receive designer finishes including 2 ¼” prefinished hardwood flooring on the first floor, gourmet-inspired kitchens with breakfast nooks, stainless steel kitchen appliances including the refrigerator, attached two-car garages, finished basement, and state-of-the-art washer and dryer.

Residents also benefit from a well-rounded lifestyle with on-site recreational amenities right outside their doorstep.  Homeowners have access to a community clubhouse, tot lot, and 1/2 basketball court.  A sparkling outdoor pool will make its heralded debut in summer 2016.

When not enjoying the well-rounded lifestyle at Maple Fields, residents can bask in the beauty of the community’s location with Middletown’s scenic rolling hills, heavily wooded terrain and tremendous open space creating the perfect suburban oasis.

Maple Fields’ combination of a close-knit, country-like neighborhood environment and affordably-priced homes filled with numerous upscale appointments has drawn many young homebuyers priced out of northern New Jersey and New York City, but seeking to remain near major business and entertainment centers.  The community is within close proximity to Route 17, Route 84, the New York State Thruway and express buses and trains into Manhattan.

Love at First Sight for Hudson Valley Accountant at Maple Fields in Middletown, N.Y.

Maple Fields JS
Baker Residential’s Maple Fields in Orange County, NY.

MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. – Maple Fields, the new collection of 196 upscale townhomes in Orange County, N.Y.’s Middletown, is strongly resonating with today’s savvy homebuyers from the day they first visit the suburban community.

Such was the case for Gail, a local accountant who had been living in a large single-family home in Sullivan County, N.Y.  After deciding it was time to downsize to a more manageable residence, it didn’t take long to determine Maple Fields was the perfect neighborhood to enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle in a brand new home.

“I had just started my home search and was looking at communities online when I came across Maple Fields,” Gail recalls.  “It was the end of tax season and I needed a break so I decided to visit the sales center.  It was love at first sight and I put a deposit down on my new home on the spot. Maple Fields was the only place I looked and the only one that fit all my needs.”

Topping Gail’s desired list was a newly constructed home.  Developed by Baker Residential, a homebuilder with a strong reputation for high quality and sterling customer service, Maple Fields is one of the few brand new townhome communities in the historic Hudson Valley.   Another major consideration was the opportunity to select certain interior finishes and features and personalize her new home.

“I loved the fact the interior selection menu is adaptable to specific needs and I could customize the home to my lifestyle and what was important to me,” Gail says.  “Working with a professional designer at Baker Residential’s New Jersey design center, I was able to look at the many options available.  For example, I’m an avid cook and wanted a top-of-the-line kitchen.  I added modern and state-of-the-art appliances and fixtures to create the perfect kitchen for me.”

Cooking goes hand-in-hand with entertaining and the open main living level of Gail’s Ramapo design provides ample room for friends and family.  Other layout features appealing to Gail included the Jack and Jill bathroom upstairs and expansive windows which provide a bright and airy feel.

“I also have the added benefit of an end unit which allows me to fully enjoy the wooded Orange County surroundings,” Gail says.

Gail is one of more than 70 families who call Maple Fields home.   The intimate community has quickly become a lively and vibrant neighborhood with homeowners embracing an activity-rich environment.

Maple Fields transition into an established community has attracted the attention of prospective buyers.  Strong sales has left just a select few three-bedroom townhomes available in the community’s current housing phase.

The remaining residences do, however, offer some of the community’s most favorable housing opportunities, including fast delivery dates.   Townhomes in Phase 2 at Maple Fields are the final homes offered with delivery dates in 2015.  This limited selection of residences also boasts desirable end unit locations, providing buyers a considerable amount of added privacy and serenity.

Priced from the upper $200,000s, townhomes in Maple Fields second housing phase provide additional upgrades in the purchase price, including stainless steel refrigerator and state-of-the-art washer and dryer.  These new appointments join gourmet-inspired kitchens with breakfast nooks, formal dining rooms, attached two-car garages and finished lower level as high-end standard features in the homes.  Homes range from 2,274 to 2,329 square-feet of living space.

Residents of Maple Fields receive a number of on-site recreational amenities right outside their door, including a tot lot and 1/2 basketball court that have recently debuted.  Construction is also moving forward quickly on the community’s clubhouse facility which will include a sparkling outdoor pool when completed.

Homeowners also have the added benefit and convenience of a beautiful Orange County location.   The scenic rolling hills, heavily wooded terrain and tremendous open space create the ideal suburban environment.

Maple Fields is located within close proximity to Route 84, the New York State Thruway and express buses and trains into Manhattan.

Value, Pricing and Location Draw Former New Jersey Renters to Maple Fields in Orange County, N.Y.’s Middletown

MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. – The escalating rental markets in northern New Jersey and New York City are prompting many young renters to take a closer look at homeownership.

Tired of throwing away expensive monthly rent receipts, these single-professionals, couples and families are turning their attention to northern suburbs such as Orange County, N.Y. where they can purchase affordably priced homes and begin enjoying the countless benefits of ownership, including building equity, tax advantages and the strong sense of pride.

Erica and Tyrone Robinson are the perfect example. The couple were renting an apartment in New Jersey when they determined the smart financial move was to invest in a home they would call their own.  After searching the high-priced for-sale market of Bergen County, N.J., the Robinsons discovered the value they were seeking at Maple Fields, a new townhome community from Baker Residential in Middletown, N.Y. with prices starting from the upper $200,000s.

“My rent in northern New Jersey was more than what my mortgage payment at Maple Fields presently is,” says Mrs. Robinson.  “Here, I receive considerably more space in a brand new townhome for a less expensive price.”

While the attractive price point was a key factor in their decision to purchase at Maple Fields, the collection of 196 three-bedroom residences filled many of the other characteristics the Robinsons were looking for in a new home, ranging from interior design to neighborhood environment.

“The open floor concept at Maple Fields invites natural light to fill homes and the inside finishes are modern and pretty,” Mrs. Robinson continues.  “We also like the fact that it was a townhome community and we didn’t have to worry about maintenance ourselves. The fact that the neighborhood and school district are very welcoming to families and children was another aspect that made Maple Fields so desirable.”

The community’s close proximity the many business, shopping and outdoor delights of the historic Hudson Valley was an added bonus.

“Maple Fields is centrally located by everything you need,” Mrs. Robinson points out.  “We can enjoy the on-site recreational and social facilities or easily reach any of the nearby amenities.”

The transition into an active and established neighborhood is well underway at Maple Fields which has welcomed more than 70 families.  The bustling environment has captured the attention of many visitors, resulting in the near sell-out of the community’s current housing phase.

The former Sullivan County, N.Y. residents, who owned a private residence thirty minutes north of Maple Fields, discovered the collection of 196 upscale townhomes when they set out to find a care-free community located closer to Manhattan and the New York metropolitan area.

“We decided we wanted a home that was near popular business and entertainment centers and would lessen our maintenance responsibilities in terms of grounds and repairs,” says Mr. Aiello.  “So we started researching townhome communities exclusively in Orange County.”

After scanning newspaper ads, conducting online searches and visiting the desired area frequently, the Aiello’s happily found Maple Fields developed by Baker Residential.  Offering spacious three-bedroom townhomes, a commuter-friendly location and the ease and convenience of maintenance-free living, the community offered almost everything the family needed.

“The homes themselves provide open floorplans, ample bedroom closet space and magnificent attention to detail in the flooring, countertops, efficient windows and exterior aesthetics,” Mr. Aiello says.

With location also playing a key role, Maple Fields close proximity to Route 84 and Interstate 17 was ideal for the Aiello’s who can now quickly reach New York City, northern New Jersey and Orange County destinations from their brand new home.

“We have access to major highways and can quickly plan alternative routes for our commutes from Maple Fields,” Mr. Aiello points out, “and local shopping, quality medical care and all the pleasures of the historic Hudson Valley are minutes away.”

Other community highlights contributing to the Aiello’s decision to purchase at Maple Fields were the planned on-site recreational and social amenities and competitive pricing.

“When we added up all the considerations, Maple Fields provided more value than other communities and allowed us to get more of what we wanted when purchasing,” Mr. Aiello points out.

Strong sales has left just a select few three-bedroom townhomes available in the community’s current housing phase.  The remaining residences do, however, offer some of the community’s most favorable housing opportunities, including fast delivery dates.   Townhomes in Phase 2 at Maple Fields are the final homes offered with delivery dates in 2015.  This limited selection of residences also boasts desirable end unit locations, providing buyers a considerable amount of added privacy and serenity.

Priced from just $269,400, townhomes in Maple Fields second housing phase provide additional upgrades in the purchase price, including stainless steel refrigerator and state-of-the-art washer and dryer.  These new appointments join gourmet-inspired kitchens with breakfast nooks, formal dining rooms, attached two-car garages and finished lower level as high-end standard features in the homes.  Homes range from 2,274 to 2,329 square-feet of living space.

More than 70 families already call Maple Fields home.  The intimate community has quickly become a lively and vibrant neighborhood with homeowners embracing an activity-rich environment.

Residents of Maple Fields receive a number of on-site recreational amenities right outside their door, including a tot lot and 1/2 basketball court that have recently debuted.  Construction is also moving forward quickly on the community’s clubhouse facility which will include a sparkling outdoor pool when completed.

Homeowners also have the added benefit and convenience of a beautiful Orange County location.   The scenic rolling hills, heavily wooded terrain and tremendous open space create the ideal suburban environment.
