7. Thomas J. Farone Home Builders

About the Builder: Thomas J.  Farone Homebuilders, Inc. has been creating brand new neighborhoods where families want to live and share memories since the 1960′s.  A family business;  no one may know more about what families enjoy and value in a new home than Thomas Farone and his son Thomas.  Since their inception, they have built over 3,000 homes, many of them repeat customers or second generation buyers who grew up in a Farone built home.  Known for building a home with incredible value, it’s hard to find a better option that combines quality and price all packaged together in a large community where many families call it home.  All of the Farone communities have stood the test of time.  Many buyers seek out existing Farone built homes for sale because they love them and the neighborhoods that they are in.  New homeowners have also enjoyed tremendous appreciation of a Farone home because of the initial value and quality combined with the good looking family neighborhoods they are known for creating.  Thomas J. Farone Homebuilders have created the following neighborhoods amongst many others:  Rowland’s Hollow, The Heritage, Olson Farm, Indian Springs, Barringer Heights, Pine Ridge, Indian Ridge, Canyon Run, Mulberry Estates, Westway Farms, and Regatta View.  Website

The Home: Thomas J. Farone Homebuilders Inc. is proud to unveil their newest model for the 2011 Showcase of Homes, “The Jefferson”. At 2,800 + sq/ft this lovely 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, custom home has some unique features; from the full stone wraparound porch, to the custom kitchen, cozy family room and the wonderful balcony off of the master suite on the second floor. This home takes advantage of the peace and tranquility of the natural treed surroundings of Jenna’s Forest. Being a popular walking neighborhood, the porches and balcony offer plenty of people watching opportunities, whether its morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. There’s also a great loft space on the second floor between the bedrooms and 4th bedroom / bonus room, which would make a perfect library or kids play room. This home offers a flowing floor plan for entertaining because of the staircase being positioned in the center of the home, creating a circular pattern that allows kitchen, dining room, family room, and breakfast nook to integrate together into one complete functioning space. The first floor office/den, is privately located at the front of the home and offers a great view of the yard. Situated on a corner lot, and bathed in stone, “The Jefferson” blends perfectly into the beautiful setting that is called Jenna’s Forest.

The Neighborhood: Every once in a while, an amazing opportunity comes along that may just be too good to be true and  Jenna’s Forest by Thomas J. Farone Homebuilders, Inc. in Malta, N.Y. is just that! Nestled deep in the tranquil and serene Luther Forest, this very special new home community is isolated from the noise and frenetic energy of busy roads and overcrowded spaces. Jenna’s Forest is also the closest new home community to Global Foundries and the new Malta Technology Park. For our homeowners who work at Global Foundries, it is just a short walk or bike ride on the exclusive nature trail connecting them with Jenna’s Forest.

Jenna’s Forest is surrounded by hundreds of acres of protected space and the community has access to some incredible walking and biking trails that are blazed through areas that the public hasn’t seen in what may be over a century. Each one of the residential home sites is tucked away in what can almost be described as primeval forest; each one backing up to undevelopable property, affording the most in privacy and seclusion. Imagine building a lovely new home in a neighborhood that consists of just over 30 home sites, that is only minutes to the interstate, Global Foundries, Saratoga Lake, and downtown Saratoga Springs, yet you are surrounded by nature. These homes starting from the mid $300′s, evoke that hometown neighborhood feeling of where you grew up. The models here feature arts and crafts style, great front porches and timeless floor plans. All homes have public water, sewer, and natural gas and come with a laundry list of included features such as stone and shake exteriors, granite counters, 9′ ceilings, wood and tiled floors, stainless appliances, and more. Come and see for yourself why Jenna’s Forest may be the best kept secret in upstate New York!
