Featured Floorplan: The Beckley

The lovely and large single-family Beckley plan has all the space that you crave in new construction. With 4 spacious bedrooms, 4.5 baths, an open-concept kitchen and living area, and multiple flex spaces, there are options for both large family gatherings and peaceful, quiet evenings. In the Beckley, the way you live is entirely up to you. 

 

This Craftsman-style home has a charming exterior and large windows throughout, letting natural light stream into every room. On the first level, there’s a formal dining room in addition to a family room and dinette, which flow right into a well-appointed kitchen with walk-in pantry and center island. Off of the kitchen is a mudroom with built-ins, along with a rare pocket office which gives your family another quiet space to work or study. A flexible den could be an extra bedroom, home gym, hobby room, or anything else your family needs. 

 

Upstairs, the owner’s suite is spacious and luxurious, with an impressive bath that boasts dual vanities, an oversized walk-in shower, and generous walk-in closet. The three large bedrooms share no walls, so that each is quiet and peaceful. A second-floor laundry room makes day-to-day chores easier and more convenient. 

 

If you need even more room to spread out, the finished basement can have any number of uses — from a kids’ playroom to a state-of-the-art movie room. The ways that you live in this home are limitless. 

 

The Beckley floorplan is all-new for 2022 and will be available in Hickory Glen in Mars, PA, and The Villas at Camp Trees in Pine Twp, PA. Contact us to learn how to get started building this beautiful home today!

Tips and Tricks for Organizing Your Home

Now that it’s winter and you’re enjoying more time indoors, you may notice that you could use a little more organization throughout your home. If 2021 brought an abundance of extra things into your living space, then 2022 is all about getting rid of what you don’t need — and keeping the things that serve a purpose in your daily life.

 

At Weaver Homes, we believe that 2022 is your time to enjoy your moments at home without the stress of unnecessary clutter. Finally, with a fresh, new home in Pittsburgh, you can create the atmosphere that you love to be surrounded by, day and night. Take a look at our favorite tips for organizing your home:

 

Tips for Organizing Your Home

 

Decide What To Store: Before you start, it’s a good idea to “assess your mess” and make a decision about how much storage you may need. Go through each room and envision the bins you’ll need to keep everything clean and tidy, whether it’s cloth bins for your children’s toys or plastic bins for a food pantry.

 

Use Your Doors: Don’t underestimate the versatility of doors! The back of a door can be a life-saver. For instance, if a secondary bedroom is becoming tight, an over-the-door organizer, shoe rack, or hook rack will free up space while storing everything from shoes and jackets to hats, belts, scarves, and everything else.

 

Clean Your Closet: First things first, ask yourself: “Do I really need it?” Donate items you don’t wear or don’t make you feel great, and keep the items you love. (If you haven’t worn something in the past year, give it a new home!) You’ll be amazed at how much easier (and more enjoyable) it is to step into a clean, organized closet.

 

At Weaver Homes, we offer new homeowners the opportunity to meet with a closet company before you move in, so that you can customize your storage spaces to your exact liking. That way, you can be organized as soon as you move in. With this service, you are able to customize your laundry room, secondary bedroom closets, pantry, mudroom, or any other space that needs to stay neat and clutter-free.

 

Free Up Your Fridge: Now more than ever, takeout meals make your evenings so much easier. But because those boxes, containers, and bags take up so much space, make sure to put food in your own tupperware and label them with the date you ordered the food. You can also do a complete “refrigerator overhaul” — take everything out, throw old items away, and keep what you need.

 

Stay Trendy: A beautiful storage ottoman is not only a comfortable seat in your bedroom or family room, it’s a great way to keep items off the floor. Similarly, functional and stylish ladder shelves are perfect for picture frames, candles, succulents, watches and jewelry, books, and so much more.

 

Organize Recipes: You may have certain recipes that you can’t live without, but you don’t need whole cookbooks sitting in your kitchen. One way to free up extra space is to scan the recipes you use and love from cookbooks, cut out your favorites from magazines, and organize them into clear pages in a binder or folder.

 

Start Small: If you’re ever feeling overwhelmed, a great way to destress is to do simple tasks (even as simple as making a bed or two)! A few quick ways to clear your home — and your mind — are to fluff up and organize the pillows on your couch, straighten up your rugs, dust off counters and windows, and wipe down tables.
