PRESCHOOL COMING TO WINMORE
Winmore is excited to welcome The Goddard School For Early Childhood Development to the neighborhood. The preschool is scheduled to start construction in January for a possible August 2010 opening. Goddard is a five-star school whose motto is "quality that lasts a lifetime". When completed, this preschool facility will result in all primary level education being within a short distance from Winmore homes. For more information on Goddard School, visit their website.
WINMORE POOL & PLAYGROUND OPEN FOR BUSINESS
Winmore’s gathering place for fun and sun is complete! With the playground adjacent to the pool, cabana and ballfield, kids and grown ups can spend the day together enjoying the outdoors.
Thanks to Eric Chupp and Capkov Ventures for designing and building our wonderful playstructures!
G. CRABTREE HOMEBUILDERS FEATURED IN CHAPEL HILL NEWS
On March 8th, the front page article in the Real Estate section of The Chapel Hill News recognized G. Crabtree Homebuilders for "building two smaller homes that can only be described as small but beautiful in Carrboro's Winmore village." Recognizing a trend in building more energy-efficient and sustainable homes, and noting in these Crabtree's homes, fewer square feet does not mean sacrificing beauty or comfort, the article points out the benefit of building small and building green while still building beautiful!
The article also quoted developer Scott Kovens whose vision, together with that of the Town of Carrboro, is for Winmore to be a mixed-use neighborhood with a variety of housing types having welcoming front porches and private spaces at the side or back of the homes, and for a central gathering place (Philip's Square) near commercial and retail businesses. In Winmore, whichever home you own, living space is expanded by the architectural site plan having 26 acres of open space, which includes a community pool and cabana, playgrounds, orchards, trails and sidewalks. And, of course, the meandering and beautiful Bolin Creek to walk along.
WINMORE BUILDERS CELEBRATE SUCCESS
Some of our exceptional Winmore Builders are being acknowledged outside of Winmore - Dixon Kirby Homes just sold another million dollar, beautiful, green, luxury home in Raleigh. Kovens Construction Co. is finalizing the design and will start construction on a high-end presale home in Chapel Hill, and Pickett Land & Building Co. recently sold 12 condos in downtown Chapel Hill.
Wherever and whatever style home they build, these talented builders 'build green' to protect the environment and the footprint of their sites, while affording their homeowners quality, beauty, comfort and energy savings as well; Sustainable Building - Sustainable Living at its finest!
Winmore is fortunate indeed to call, G. Crabtree Home Building, Dixon Kirby Homes, Kovens Construction Co., Melville Builders and Pickett Land & Building Co. the Winmore Builder Team!
