The Orchard Condos - Farmington

<BODY> Viewing this page requires a browser capable of displaying frames. <FONT> The Orchard Condominiums in downtown Farmington may be just the move to help you simplify your lifestyle and enjoy all the conveniences of this excellent location. We would also like to remind you of the quality of design and construction in the Orchard Condominiums by pointing out the many fine standard items that would be considered upgrades in other condominium homes. We offer both Ranch and Loft homes with open floor plans and high ceilings, allowing in great natural light and creating a visually upscale living space. Wood flooring in the kitchen and entryway, solid core interior doors, a sharp package of hardware, ceramic tile in the bathrooms, and recessed and adjustable light fixtures place your home a cut above the rest in quality. In addition, a fire suppression system is built into every unit at the Orchard. Our sales staff is ready and able to work with any potential buyer to make purchase of one of these exceptional condominium homes possible. Please stop by for a look and we will be happy to help make your new home a reality. We have two phases to the building process. This building is phase one. The second phase will be built this Spring on the other side to give the condos a charming little neighborhood feel. We have two different basic configurations which we call the Ranch and the Loft. Each phase has 18 units – 9 of the Ranch and 9 of the Loft. The Ranch unit has 1215 square feet, 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. Upstairs is the Loft unit with 2200 square feet and up to 3 bedrooms and 2 and a half bathrooms. • This month the architect and builder is running two special offers – free granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms and no association fees for one whole year. So if you’re thinking of buying soon, you might want to take advantage of these offers. • Both units come standard with many high quality features – Whirlpool appliances, lighting fixtures and mirrors, hardwood bamboo flooring in the kitchen and entryway, solid core doors, Andersen windows, a “Juliet” balcony with Inswing French doors, wiring for cable and internet, and a parking space and storage in the heated garage underneath, just to name a few. You are able to select coloring on your carpet, wood floors, cabinets, countertops, and appliances. And if you’d like to avoid the stairs from the garage, you can purchase an elevator for either the Ranch or the Loft. • We do sell retractable screens for the Juliet balconies • If you don’t buy and elevator in the Loft, the closet on the first floor is bigger. • You have two options for a washer and dryer in the Loft. One is upstairs – a large utility room. The second is on this floor and would need to be stackable unless you don’t buy an elevator. The base price for the Ranch with 12 hundred 15 square feet is $219,990. The base price for the Loft with 22 hundred square feet is currently $249,990 – That’s with the open loft on the second floor. If you want the two bedrooms upstairs, as we have in the model, that’s $13,900 added to the base. And one large room with the bathroom and utility room upstairs would add $11,900 to the base. We have price lists for both models if you wanted exactly everything as you see it. That can give you an idea of pricing on optional features and upgrades. The association fees for the Ranch unit are about $188, $216 for the Loft unit. We have a list of what is included in those fees if you would like to see the details. We currently have 3 Ranch units and 6 Loft units available in this building though it looks like we’ll be selling a couple more Loft units this month - Private Elevators Available - High Quality, all Brick Townhouse Style Construction Standard Features Include: - Whirlpool Kitchen Appliances - Spacious Open Floor Plans - Hardwood & Ceramic Tile Floors - Secure and Heated Parking in Building Location - Located in the Heart of Historic Downtown Farmington - Award Winning Farmington Schools - Walkable Neighborhoods in a Small Town Atmosphere - Near I-96, I-696, I-275, M-5; Minutes from Southfield, Novi, & Bloomfield The Orchard Condominiums have been designed and built with acute attention to quality and detail.
