Rightsizing at Canterwood Farms

Every new year sparks thoughts of change and finding ways to make life easier in the year ahead. If you’ve been thinking about moving out of your current home because your current needs are different or you don’t want the maintenance headache anymore, check out 20th Century Construction’s community, The Villas at Canterwood Farms. With five floor plans offering 1,500 to 3,000-plus square feet and two-four bedrooms with bonus suites available, there’s an option that’s guaranteed to fit your needs today—and in the future. 

Canterwood Farms boasts a serene, rural setting that feels tucked away from the fray, yet you’re less than a mile from restaurants, shopping and highways.

“Most homeowners in Canterwood Farms purchased here because they were only living in a few rooms of their previous homes and the space and size wasn’t conducive to their current needs,” says Allison Riebe Moore, 20th Century Construction vice president of sales and marketing. “When people walk into our model, they are blown away by how spacious and functional the floor plans are. While people call it “downsizing,” we consider it “rightsizing” because our plans are often larger than the total square footage of the spaces they use in their larger current homes,” says Allison. At Canterwood Farms, each home is designed for easy and comfortable living that allows homeowners to age in place with standard features like zero-entry access from the garage and front door and oversized garages that allow for additional storage. While all homes are turnkey with high-end finishes, there are many options that buyers can choose from to customize their home both structurally and during their interior design appointment.

Open Spaces and Privacy

Privacy is paramount at Canterwood Farms, where outdoor spaces serve as extensions of your home. Perfect for coffee in your robe or entertaining guests, they are protected from the view of neighbors.

As a conservation zoning property, Canterwood Farms retains more than 30% of the land as open space and most of the homesites back up to the open area.

A 44-Year Building Tradition

20th Century Construction has thought of everything at Canterwood Farms. That’s no surprise since it has been building homes in Lake County communities for more than 44 years with a reputation for quality craftsmanship. 

Allison adds, “Many of our clients who built with us 30 years ago had been approaching us for years because they love the quality of their 20th Century Construction home but they no longer needed as much space or wanted an upstairs bedroom, and didn’t want to compromise.” As they researched how to best serve these needs, 20th Century came across Epcon Communities, which has been focused on rightsizing for more than 35 years. “Epcon floor plans have been fine-tuned over the years and with our homebuilding experience, it just made sense, “ says Allison.

“People are pleasantly surprised when they walk into our model. They may have preconceived notions about what type of community Canterwood Farms is, but then they see how upscale and high-end the homes are and realize all they would be gaining by building their forever home here,” says Allison. “One homeowner had tears in her eyes because she had no idea how much she physically needed to make this move until she had been living in her new home. She now can move around easily and doesn’t have to worry about mowing the lawn or shoveling snow. While it was bittersweet initially, she hasn’t looked back since.”

Homebuyers can plan on a fall/winter 2025 move-in date if they sign now, which gives them the time they may need to organize their current homes and plan for the next phase of their lives at The Villas at Canterwood Farms.
