Owning a home in the suburbs doesn’t need to be boring. Despite the mental image of cookie cutter homes on tiny lots, most neighborhoods in the Pittsburgh burbs are far from this picture. Rolling hills, established tree lines and historic towns dot the landscape outside of the urban city center.

But Sarver’s Mill takes this to another level. Located just 30 minutes from Downtown Pittsburgh, this charming community offers brand new, larger home sites backing to open space in a historic setting. In fact, the community offers today’s most desirable amenities with breathtaking views of the Little Buffalo Creek that surrounds the neighborhood and offers residents a beautiful setting for life and recreation.

You may have heard that we just released our brand new S&A Signature Series floor plans last week.  What exactly are the signature series plans all about, where are they offered and what makes them so special?  In this post and in a series of others, we are going to explore each of the plans, their included features and what classifies them as signature series homes.

Ranging in size from 2,700 square feet up to 5,000 square feet, our Signature Series collection embodies what today’s buyers are looking for and allows even the most discerning home purchaser to build a home without the need to add a number of upgrades to get what they are looking for.  The plans feature 17 inclusions that are not normally offered in our standard package, such as granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry, open oak tread staircases, partial stone exteriors and much more.

Well, the dreaded IRS Tax deadline has already passed and May is here. Despite the complaints about the process, it is surprising to learn that more than 80 percent of Americans will actually receive a tax refund this year. While it’s great to have some “bonus” money, wouldn’t it be even better to double your tax refund?

During the month of May, any homebuyer who is in the market for a new home in Centre, Blair, Cambria and Huntingdon counties is in for a better than normal tax return. If you purchase a to-be-built home with S&A Homes in any of these counties between now and May 31, plan to double (actually triple) that return. We will automatically double the tax return due to you and pay you the lump sum of that value when you settle on your new home. Read More
