New Sales Center - Move-in Progress...






Today, we are completing final refinements in the new sales center.  Soon we will be ready to move the staging furniture into our home at 24 Arbor Way.  I look forward to inviting all of you over to stop in to say hiat this Chesterfield-style home, once the moving and staging are complete.  Office internet and cable will be installed soon, too.  In the meantime, I have been hovering between using the existing wifi at the town home, sales office location, while driving over periodically to the new model home location, in case visitors arrive through the Cherry Tree Lane entrance.  I really look forward to getting settled in at the new office!

Post Something Fun!



When I created this blog page, I invited everyone with whom I have done business with at Academy Hill to have the ability to participate as "authors".  You may have received a generic email  "invitation" to participate in the blog.  Please have fun and fell free to post something!  If you did not receive an email invitation to post to this blog, please let me know.  Some of my email addresses may need updating.  You also may need to set up an account first.

If you would like to share a suggestion for the community, an event, party, or even if you would just like to share recipes, a great website links, etc. that would be great!  Let me know if I can be of any help with posting here.

Moving my Sales Center to Arbor Way


I am so happy with the great sales activity and all of the interest in Academy Hill this year.  In case anyone was wondering, I am moving the sales center to 24 Arbor Way today.   Last week, I was still moving the office from the town homes, to the Hampton-style home on the corner of Arbor Way.  However, we reached an agreement on that model home with a new family before we had the chance to complete the staging and connect the internet and phones!

Some of you will remember that in 2010, we moved the Cherry Tree Lane sales office 3 times in 3 weeks because of fast sales.  The homes would sell as soon as phones and internet were connected at that time, so I hope that history will repeat itself on Arbor Way for 2012!

1st Academy Hill Community Fitness Boot Camp of 2012!



It was great hearing that the first, Academy Hill community boot camp of the year went well, this morning.  Thank you, Kelsey, for all of your work coordinating this!  I have many people moving to the neighborhood who are interested in joining the fitness boot camp, and I look forward to telling them about what a great time you are all having.

The "Princess Bed House"


Does anyone here remember this "princess" bed?  Seeing the Academy Hill model homes being staged with furniture and decor is always a fun part of my job.  From my experience, I think that our professional designer Linda Goodwin has a great eye for furnishings and decor, creating the most memorable viewing experience for our open house guests.   I particularly enjoyed using the home at 25 Magnolia Lane as the sales office because of her great staging.

I hold this particular "princess" bed responsible for the unusually high number of buyers with young girls during the time I was using the Expanded Sterling-style model home on Magnolia Lane.  My daughter calls this model home the "princess bed house"!  (For the record, contrary to rumors, I do not take naps in the princess bed on my breaks.  It is far too short for my stature and the mattress is far too firm.)

Habitech has many, great new communities throughout the area with Linda Goodwin's staging, and sometimes I might lose a set of furniture to one site or another, while gaining or losing individual pieces in the process.   I am happy to report that the staged model home at 25 Magnolia Lane has recently sold, and it will soon be readied for our newest residents to join Academy Hill.  As a result, I might lose some of this home's furniture as Linda continues to work her magic, updating and adding new items, phasing out the looks that are no longer as exciting.  However, I will certainly be keeping the princess bed on-site!  Time for a new princess bed house, though...  perhaps the new Chesterfield Plan on Arbor Way?

Thank You!

Thanks for the great comments about living at Academy Hill!  With so much completed, I cant believe it has only been 2.5 years or so.  I have been thinking of how much has gone on in the few years since I began with the sales here.  I especially enjoy being an Academy Hill resident with my family, too...  I certainly can not complain about my long commute anymore!

Let's hear from some of our residents!



Hello,

My name is Arthur Haskins, and I am the Sales Director for Academy Hill, the fastest growing, new-construction community in Groton, Massachusetts.  I have created this page because I wanted to provide a forum where Academy Hill residents can openly discuss and share experiences, living within the Academy Hill Groton community.  I hope that this will also serve as a place where we can discuss community news and events, too!  Let's kick off this site by posting some comments about your experiences buying and living at Academy Hill.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Arthur Haskins
