The Project

Appeal

River Knoll is designed to appeal to an empty nester, pre-retiree, and full retiree profile of owner. Many within this demographic wish to downsize from a larger home often because their children have “left the nest, yet they seek a amply-sized home within the community they have resided for many years. They want to be near family, friends and associations that they cherish. They also seek homeownership that is less requiring of their time for exterior maintenance and are comforted knowing that this aspect will be handled by professionals managing the community – no more cleaning gutters or shoveling snow!

Design

River Knoll will offer a modern farmhouse architectural vernacular that brings a simpler, clean aesthetic to a popular style for homes. The color scheme is neutral and bright, with clean lines and large window openings providing well-lit interiors. The exteriors will be clad in combinations of shingle, plank, and board-and-batten treatment, metal standing-seam roof accents, front porches with contemporary wood post and railing treatments, and attractive lighting and hardware. The units will have attached two-car garages and outdoor patios or decks.

Interiors

Interiors will continue the light and neutral color scheme, with large entryways, open gourmet kitchens with modern appliances and adjoining great rooms. Most of the homes will have master bedrooms on the first floor with large walk-in closets and modern bathrooms. Each unit will have a den that can be used as an office or media room. And each unit will have a lower level that can be outfitted with a small gym, an office, a hobby room, or a viewing room.

The homes will be designed to accommodate a compact elevator to serve all levels, as an option.

Amenities

River Knoll will have an array of amenities that are focused on the desires of these buyers which will keep them active and engaged:

• A clubhouse for gathering and entertainment.
• A fitness center with state-of-the-art exercise equipment.
• An adjoining yoga/cycling studio.
• A swimming pool with quiet terrace seating and lounge areas.
• An outdoor kitchen at the Club House for barbeques and entertainment.
• Walking trails connecting to the community and regional trailways.
