Community Continues to Take Shape

As construction progresses this summer at Anets Woods, the community is really taking shape as we continue to break ground on new home sites. We are currently digging and preparing the sites for lots 6, 18, and 29, which have been purchased. The foundation is in for lot 6, and we recently poured the foundation for lot 18. We are digging lot 29 now. Lots 6 and 18 overlook wooded areas and the retention pond, which will include a fountain. Lot 29 is near the community’s entrance and backs up to a wooded conservation area. Stay tuned for more construction updates!

Lush Landscaping Installed at Anets Woods Entry

Exceptional Homes . . . Exceptional Places

Unlike most builders who install only minimal landscaping, Edward R. James’ communities are exceptional. Our tagline is “exceptional homes . . . exceptional places” and the landscaping is an integral part of what makes our developments exceptional.

Before the first home is even completed, we’ve installed hundreds of trees and shrubs, strategically placed outcropping stones, and dressed the sloping bedlines with lush green turf grass.

Just wait and see what this entry looks like in the weeks and months ahead.
