Buy Your Ashton Woods Home Now, Before It’s Too Late

shton Woods is in its final sales phase at Asturia, with 75 percent of home sites sold since the community opened two years ago. “We’ve had tremendous success in Asturia, selling over 100 beautiful homes in this much-desired community on State Road 54,” said Sales Manager Kristin Woods. “We have just 45 homes to go, and expect all to be gone by the end of the year.” Because many families want to move into their new home as soon as possible, Ashton Woods has received permits from Pasco County for all remaining homes sites. “This saves our buyers up to three months in the building process,” said Jillian Harris, Ashton Woods’ community sales manager in Asturia, a master-planned community in Odessa. “Our designers have put together beautiful combinations of flooring, countertops, design features and colors that will excite the vast majority of buyers,” she said. “Plus, we have a great combination of homes that convert flex space to extra bedrooms, add bonus rooms and extra baths, and have great outdoor living areas with front porches and extended lanais.” While construction is underway on many homes, Ashton Woods buyers are still able to select flooring, countertops, cabinets and other nonstructural customizations on 18 homes that will be completed in November and December. “We are known for our affordable personalization at the Design Studio, and families who want to pick out their

finishes and colors are reserving these homes right now,” said Harris. “Plus, they are excited to be able to move into their new home in time for the holidays!” Ashton Woods offers traditional one- and two-story homes in its Classic and Heritage series, all which feature open floor plans, large living areas, beautiful master suites and lots of storage. Homes have two-or threecar garages, and many back up to private conservation lots. Three traditional inventory homes are ready now in the versatile, onestory Truman plan, which offers four bedrooms and two baths in 1,962
square feet. Also ready are two, twostory homes with two-car garages on deep wooded lots with long views. The 2,722-square-foot Milan has the master bedroom downstairs, and the 3,362-square-foot Athens is the largest home Ashton Woods builds in Asturia. “For families with children, these inventory homes can close in time for the new school year,” said Harris, who adds that Asturia is zoned for some of the best schools in Pasco County. “Our kids go to J.W. Mitchell High, Seven Springs Middle and Odessa Elementary. Many families are looking for these schools, and at Asturia, they do not need to worry about our school
zones changing,” she said. In addition to traditional floor plans, Ashton Woods has the 10 remaining rear-entry home sites in Asturia, all a short walk to the community’s contemporary Amenity Center. Several inventory homes are available, with move-in ready homes starting at $279,990. These unique one- and two-story homes have over 2,000 square feet of living area, and feature three to four bedrooms, two to three baths, and two-car garages with alley access and additional parking out front. Asturia is the first choice for many buyers considering the many masterplanned communities along State Road 54. Buyers prefer Asturia’s smaller size of just 550 homes, compared to thousands being built in neighboring developments, and appreciate that construction will not be going on for years. “People especially like that our homes are not on top of each other, and that we have a minimum of 15 feet between homes,” said Sales Manager Wilson. “Asturia’s developer did a great job laying out its streets, so it doesn't look like a cookie-cutter community.” Every Ashton Woods home comes with the same standards of top-quality construction and finishes. It was named the 2017 Builder of the Year by Builder and Developer Magazine, and for the fourth consecutive year, has been ranked among the top three for Most Trusted Builders in America.

Keep Your Home Cool By Planning Ahead
T
he last thing your family wants to deal with during the hot summer months is your home’s A/C unit going on the blink. And, the best way to prevent that from happening is to have a maintenance plan with a reputable HVAC company, and to be aware when you're unit’s warranty will expire. “Your A/C should receive regular maintenance every six to 12 months to prevent an emergency situation,” said Dana Spears, president of Cornerstone Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical in Land O’ Lakes. “Maintaining your A/C is much like taking your vehicle in for regular oil changes and service updates. If you don't service your vehicle, you are looking for trouble. And, if you are not doing regular maintenance on your A/C system, when you have problems, it will likely be during the hottest times of the year when your unit is working its hardest,” said Spears. A well-maintained A/C system should continue to operate through the end of its warranty period. However, as a system gets older, it loses much of its efficiencies and begins to show its age with inconsistent hot and cold pockets, and excessive noise. In many cases, Cornerstone’s technicians recommend replacing a system when the warranty expiration is nearing its end to avoid inevitable mechanical problems, and also to take advantage of new technology that makes A/C systems much more energy efficient. “Often times, we find that the saving on a customer’s power bill is so significant because of the energy efficiencies of a new A/C unit, that it is more cost effective to replace a unit, than to repair it,” Spears said. “Plus, once you begin to replace parts on an older system, repairs often add up, and it’s better to put
this money into a new system,” said continued. Many owners of newer homes are surprised to learn that the warranty on their builder-grade air conditioning system on their newly built home is only five or six years, and are unprepared for the expense when their out-of-warranty A/C needs to be repaired or replaced. “There are thousands of homes in this area that have been built in the last 10 years, and many homeowners are not aware that their A/C is out of warranty,” said Spears. “It is much better to be proactive and look into replacing you're A/C system before it goes down, then waiting until you are in an emergency situation.” The new Daiken A/C systems installed by Cornerstone are of much better quality than builder-grade units, and come with 10 to12 year warranties. For most homes, the cost for a new HVAC system is between $5,500 and $12,000, depending on the unit’s seer rating and type of technology the system offers to achieve higher energy efficient levels. “The higher the seer rating, the
TIME F TIME FOR OR R EPLACEMENT? REPLACEMENT?
more expensive the unit because it uses two-stage or inverter technology and slow speeds,” Spears explains. “But, a higher seer rating is more energy efficiency and can save a family hundreds to thousands of dollars a year on their power bill.” Spears goes on to explain that a home’s air conditioning system typically accounts for 50 percent of its power bill. “For many families, it makes sense to go with a higher seer-rated unit because it will pay for itself within a few years. Plus, a higher quality system operates more quietly, and comes with a 12-year warranty, instead of the standard 10 years,” said Spears. One of the biggest worries homeowners have when their old A/C unit starts having problems is the cost of repairs that keep adding up. “It may be smarter to replace an old A/C unit, than it is to keep repairing it, which is also frustrating, time consuming and means your family will be without air conditioning for several hours to several days,” said Spears. To help families afford a new A/C system, Cornerstone offers third
party financing. Options include 18month terms with 0 percent interest, and payments for as little as $60 a month on financing with 60-month terms. “If your A/C system is at the end of its warranty period, give us a call. We have a large selection of equipment in stock, and there are some excellent rebates being offered by our manufacturers that will save you hundreds of dollars,” said Spears. “And remember,” Spears adds, “that your A/C is a home appliance, just like your refrigerator. All appliances have a life span and don’t last forever.” Cornerstone was founded in 2006 as an air conditioning service company. It moved to its 4-acre site on Land O’ Lakes Boulevard in 2011, and the following year added plumbing services. In 2014, it expanded again with electrical services. Spears credits her company’s growth to its commitment to outstanding customer service, and also because its employees exemplify her company’s values. “We hire people who are genuine, honest, trustworthy, clean-cut, and live their life with good ethics and morals,” said Spears. “Most employees are local people who live in our service area, and they are very committed to their work and community.” Cornerstone phones are answered 24/7, and technicians are available around the clock, including weekends and holidays. Call (813) 990-0561 anytime, day or night. For more information, visit their website at CornerstonePros.com.

A Beautiful ICI Home In Time For The Holidays
S
ummer is the busiest time of year to buy a home, because families want to know what school their children will be attending in their new neighborhood, and because they want to be moved and settled before the holidays. This summer, however, many families have become frustrated and have stopped looking because of the low supply of available houses. If your family is wanting to move up to a new home, don’t give up. ICI Homes, one of Florida’s most prestigious builders, has beautiful and unique inventory homes available in the master-planned communities of Bexley in Land O’ Lakes and Asturia in Odessa. “Our homes are specifically designed for families with school-aged children, and offer the latest technology and innovative, open floor plans that connect large family gathering spaces to secluded study enclaves,” said Ron Ferguson, division manager of the company’s West Florida Division. In Bexley, ICI Homes’ popular Pamela model is move-in ready. This one-story, 3,089-square-foot home has four bedrooms, three baths and a three-car garage. Its 12-foot-high foyer gives the option of walking into a flex space/study, kitchen and gathering area, or straight into the owner’s suite. A gourmet kitchen is steps away from the large gathering and dining rooms, both which open to an expansive covered lanai. Bexley’s excellent schools are one of the top reasons many families decide to live in the community. Older children attend Land O’ Lakes High and Pine View Middle, great schools that offer the challenging International Baccalaureate program. Located within the development is Bexley Elementary, which many children walk and bicycle to from nearby homes. Just completing its first year of operation, the school achieved several important milestones, including scoring the highest on standardized third grade reading tests in all of Pasco County.
homes, ICI Homes rewards its buyers with creative incentives that are fun and lucrative, including up to $10,000 in free upgrades that can be used for a deluxe kitchen, golf cart, outdoor space or summer kitchen. Plus, buyers who contract by August 31 receive a luxurious cruise for two on Royal Caribbean to Mexico or the Bahamas. “We’re having so much fun with this promotion,” said Sales Manager Leah Turner. “After all the work involved in building a house, moving and getting settled, our customers are having a blast taking time off to enjoy their free cruise. They deserve it, and we enjoy showing our homeowners how much we appreciate them.” ICI Homes got its start 40 years ago in Daytona Beach. The original founder still owns the company, and over the years expanded into Jacksonville, Orlando and Gainesville.

Bexley Residents Bridge Generations
W
hat happens when three generations live in the very same master-planned community? How about weekly Sunday dinners, frequent family gatherings and lots of memories. That’s the life the Howard family now enjoys living in Bexley, the awardwinning community in Land O’Lakes just off State Road 54 in Pasco County. Buford Howard and his wife, Freddie, live just blocks away from two of their adult sons, Van and Ted, who also purchased homes for their families in Bexley. The Howard family found Bexley nearly by chance. With the prospect of becoming empty-nesters, Van and his wife, Vicki, wanted to downsize to a smaller home. After an extensive search throughout Pasco County, Van drove through Bexley during the early days of construction and liked what he saw. “On our first visit, we met such great people,” said Van. “Plus, my wife and I liked Three generations of the Howard family live at Bexley.
