For the past seven years, Coldwell Banker Funkhouser Realtors (the company where I work) has represented the builder/developer of Beacon Hill Townes.  Up until the most recent six months, the townhouses that have been built have been of high quality, with several exciting standard features such as hardwood floors on the main level.

Now, everything has changed!  All of a sudden, the builder has decided to throw in even more upgraded features as standard components to the townhouses currently being built. 

Gone are the standard "builder's brass" light fixtures, door knobs, etc.  Now, you'll find exciting (and contemporary) features such as decorative lighting and plumbing fixtures, upgraded cabinetry, decorative door hardware, and more.

Why, you might ask?  Was the change made to try to eek a little bit more profit out of each townhouse sale?  Actually --- the prices have remained some of the most competitive (low) prices of all new construction townhome subdivisions in Harrisonburg.  One reason for the upgrades is to finish out the last section of Beacon Hill with the most exciting units yet, to keep the excitiment for the subdivision high all the way to the end.

Whatever the reason --- the new townhouses being built are quite stylish, and give a wonderful impression to buyers who have been shopping around and looking at other new construction townhomes.  I'm curious to see how long it will be until other new townhomes in Harrisonburg start to include some of these stylish upgrades.  Soon, I hope --- as it certainly benefits Harrisonburg townhome buyers!
