What do you know about Modular Homes Today?  Modular home manufacturers have changed how they construct, design and appeal to home buyers in a tough new construction market especially in RI.  I have seen some very attractive designs put up as well as some that just look like boxes added here and there to the house to increase living space requirements.

At Eldred Farm in Kingston RI, a RI builder, Paul Schurman, is stepping it up a notch with a mini eight home development of modular homes fromWestchester Modular Homes in New York.

At present, he is putting one home up on a 8.5 acre parcel of land that borders the University of Rhode Island.  A choice location and South Kingstown neighborhood for any buyer who wants to be close to all the events happening in Kingston RI.  This home came in two pieces at the end of June and is expected to be finished and completed by the end of July (finish work and additional items added by the builder).  I missed the modular set the day it came but stopped by the other day to see how it looks and I was impressed.

The home amenities are large Andersen windows, tile kitchen and bathroom floors, maple cabinets in the kitchen, high ceilings, crown moldings, granite counters, hardwoods, etc.  The home itself is in keeping with the traditional style of the Kingston community but each home built will vary in outward colonial design.  About 1800 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, dining room, eat in kitchen, living room & the master bedroom has a side sitting area with walk in closet.  Central air is included right now as well as tie in to town sewers and gas heat.

An open house is scheduled for August 7th from 1-3 pm for interested buyers and/or renters- so stop by for more information.  I will do another post to show the finished house product in another week or so.
It has been awhile since I have seen a modular home of this caliber and I am pleasantly impressed.  Costs can run as much as 20% cheaper then from scratch.  Obviously, budget considerations are something any buyer needs to consider.
