The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for Greater Pittsburgh Homeowners – Part 3

Posted on

Being new in town — especially during the holidays — can be stressful and intimidating, even for those who are hyper-social. But there’s no better time than the holidays to get out and explore western Pennsylvania!

That’s why the Weaver Homes team of Butler, Allegheny and Beaver County locals has curated some great adventures for you to give to someone in your life who might need a good reason to explore their new town and have fun while doing it!

Try your luck with one of these curated tours throughout a specific district and grab a gift (or a gift card) from each!

Historic Harmony Village:

Start with a specialty coffee and some of the most creative and delicious crepes you’ll ever try at Wunderbar (253 Mercer Street, Harmony, PA 16037). This is a perfect place to start your tour of Harmony Village and will get you warm and caffeinated for the rest of your day.

If you’re not a coffee person, or it’s a bit later in the day, The Two Fraus Bakery offers to-die-for fresh German pretzels and authentic baked goods. We think the smells alone of this local gem are enough to make lasting memories.

Once you’ve satisfied your appetite, a short stroll to Bottlebrush Gallery is in order (539 Main Street, Harmony, PA 16037) — where you can enjoy the works of a variety of eclectic artists. From photographers to glassblowers, there is something new to see every day.

Stroll through scores of classic vinyl records and enjoy the nostalgia or catch a live music concert in the evening as a perfect way to put a bow on your exciting, delicious and fun day at Historic Harmony Village.

Zelienople:

Nearby Zelienople is packed full of wonderful shops on a family-friendly main street and also offers a fantastic night out on the town. Room to Grow Toys (146 S. Main Street, Zelienople, PA 16063), is just one of the stores where kids and adults alike will enjoy shopping for unique and fun gifts. It’s one of the few remaining independent toy stores and we absolutely love its classic atmosphere.

Down the street, stop in at Little Green Bookstore (104 N. Main Street, Zelienople, PA 16063) — one of the most adorable independent bookstores you’ll ever visit, and just recently moved into a brand new space. They offer hundreds of books and dozens of genres to choose from, so you’ll have no problem finding the next favorite title for the bookworm in your life, young or old.

And when it’s time for lunch or happy hour, you won’t have to leave main street because Shubrew (205 S. Main Street, Zelienople, PA 16063) is the place to be. Their pop-up holiday bar hosted on the rooftop is an incredible experience with fabulous food and cocktails that will exceed your greatest expectations.

We hope that this guide (and ICYMI—check out part 1 and part 2) has provided you with many new favorites and plenty of ideas for gifts to give your loved ones. And from the Weaver Homes team to you and your loved ones, we wish you a very happy holiday season and a new year filled with joy and incredible memories.

These are a few of our favorite things…

In addition to building beautiful new homes throughout North Pittsburgh for over three decades, Weaver Homes’ team members are residents ourselves. So you might say we know our way around town — and are experts on things to do and places to see in Butler County, Allegheny County, Beaver County and beyond.

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, the mad dash to prepare for the rest of the Holiday season is underway. And if you’re shopping for a life-changing purchase for your family (like, say, a new home…), we know how hard it can be to check off each special person on your list and find a thoughtful, fun gift for everyone.

That’s why the Weaver Homes team is here to help! We’ve put together the ultimate gift-giving guide for our local area. You won’t go wrong with any of the local attractions below.

If you’re a grandparent, you know there’s no happier sight than the smiles of your grandkids after a long time apart. But who says that you have to wait months (or even years) in between these special visits? Today, more baby boomers than ever are relocating to cities like Pittsburgh to be closer to their families — because you shouldn’t have to miss another moment of watching your little ones grow up!

At Weaver Homes, we believe that a great place to live improves your happiness, which is why we’ve built beautiful communities in none other than the vibrant, lively Pittsburgh area. We have lifestyle and single-family communities built for every stage of life. Five low-maintenance communities (and one on the way), Millcreek Farms in Valencia, The Villas at Spring Valley in Zelienople, Heritage Crossings in Sarver, The Villas at Forest Oaks in Butler, and Hidden Falls in Fox Chapel are waiting with open arms to welcome you home! 

 

In these fabulous areas of Pittsburgh, you’ll find that life has never been so exciting… and so relaxing. In one day, you can make a short trip to explore a botanical garden, see a show, browse a museum, sight-see on a trolley tour, and indulge in a gourmet meal, and come home to a community that loves you right back — with resort-style amenities and all of the peace and privacy you know and love. 

And of course, with your family close by, you always have the option to do the things you love with your grandchildren! In your family-friendly home, you can enjoy brunch in your cozy kitchen or private back patio before taking the little ones to the community pool to splash around in or the clubhouse for fun games. After that, a whole world of family-friendly fun is waiting right in town! You don’t have to go too far to take them to see a baseball or a hockey game either! 

Staying close to your grandkids offers a whole other benefit besides taking them around the city for its many amenities. You can enjoy the simple pleasures of watching them grow up. Be there to support your grandkids at their upcoming sports games, school plays, and any other monumental events throughout their childhood. 

 

As we all know, kids can say and do the darnedest things. Being able to live near your grandkids will keep your mind sharp and your body active. And though you’re happy to have your own, private space at home, it’s nice to share and expand your happiness with those you love most, your family – especially your grandkids!

 

If you’re thinking about right-sizing your life and making your most exciting move yet, imagine how incredible it would be to have your grandkids just a short car ride away, as opposed to a plane. When you’re so close in proximity, you’ll never have to miss another birthday, recital, game, or special moment again… 

 

Are you ready to live your best life yet — with your family right by your side? All of us can’t wait to meet you and get started! We know you’ll love a personalized and cozy home as much as your neighbors here do.

How To Create Curb Appeal in Your New Home

Posted on
in

When we drive through a new neighborhood, we expect each home to have a distinctive look that tells us a little something about the family who lives there. It’s called “curb appeal,” and to us here at Weaver Homes, it adds a little something extra to our charming new home communities in Greater Pittsburgh. 

You know great curb appeal when you see it. The house looks balanced, interesting, and well-kept. The exterior and landscaping are neat and clean, reflecting positively on the owners, indicating that they take pride in their property. And there are some personal touches that add personality and style. 

Plus, homes with great curb appeal sell for about 7% more than similar houses with drab exteriors, if you ever need to move. Overall, high curb appeal makes a community a beautiful place to live, and who doesn’t want that? 

There are a few secrets to great curb appeal, though. Here are just a few ways you can add a personal touch and curb appeal to your new Weaver Home.

 

Thoughtful Landscaping

Your landscape is an extension of your unique personality and style, which is why we offer a variety of bedlines, shrub packs, plant sizes and types to add a special touch to your new home. Your front yard is beautiful from the start, and over time it will mature to add even more curb appeal to your home. 

 

Colorful Accessories

Bringing beauty to your doorstep is a cinch. A container garden is a quick and affordable way to brighten things up. Not a fan of flowers? Try foliage plants. Just plant something low-maintenance so that they thrive even if you forget to water them. (Dead plants definitely hurt curb appeal!) Choose pots and plants that complement the colors and style of your home.

 

A Comfy Seating Area

If you have the space, a classic rocking chair, a bench or a cafe set can be a welcoming addition to your front entry. Create a quiet spot for people watching or a place that beckons visitors to pull up a chair and stay awhile. Even a small chair or a little table on your porch can serve as a resting station between inside and out. 

 

If you’re searching for a new home in Pittsburgh with built-in curb appeal, we’d love for you to come visit any of our communities. Please contact us to schedule a personal tour! 

5 Ways to Enjoy Your Outdoor Living Space This Spring

Posted on
in

The weather is warming up in Pittsburgh, and there’s something so special about this time of year. Maybe it’s the promise of the gloriously long summer ahead, or the excitement of evenings still tinged with a cool breeze. Whatever you love most about spring, there’s no better way to enjoy it than by relaxing outside in your own beautiful outdoor space. 

 

Let’s look at five ways to enjoy the outdoor spaces of your Weaver Home and make the most of this beautiful spring weather.

 

1) Turn your patio into an outdoor living room

Turn up the comfort factor on your deck or patio with a few plush couches or settees, a soft outdoor rug, pillows for lounging, and lots of cozy blankets for after-dinner drinks and conversation. This time of year, we promise your outdoor living room will get just as much use as your indoor one!

 

2) Make s’mores with the kids or grandkids

If you’re enjoying one of our spacious single family homes at Hickory Glen or Camp Trees, your back yard is the perfect spot for a fire pit. You can find them in an array of sizes and materials to match your style. The little ones will LOVE making their own desserts, and you’ll love making sweet memories, around the fire in the comfort and safety of your own yard. 

 

3) Take in a movie

Believe it or not, your courtyard is the perfect place for movie night! Purchase a screen and projector (or get creative with a white sheet) and set up blankets, pillows, low chairs, and of course, a fully-loaded snack bar to enjoy your favorite films under the stars.

4) Let the light shine

Creative lighting can completely transform your single family home’s outdoor space. Use string lights, fairy curtain lights, or paper lanterns to instantly create ambiance and make our covered patios or decks even cozier and more welcoming. When you add a pair of comfortable, cushioned chairs and your favorite beverage, you’ll never want to leave. 

 

5) Dine outdoors in elegance

Take advantage of spring’s milder weather by having special occasion meals at home. Create an unforgettable dining experience with formal dinnerware, candles, and a gorgeous tablescape. For ultimate luxury, have a catering company take care of all the cooking and cleaning up.

However you choose to use your outdoor space, it’s sure to be a highlight of your new Weaver home. We can’t think of a better way to enjoy the great outdoors than right in your own backyard!
