HUDSON – Toll Brothers home builders have begun construction of 64-luxury homes as part of a development off Chestnut Street, in the eastern section of the town.
A spokesperson for Toll Brothers, which describes itself as “the country’s leading builder of luxury homes,” said they chose the town as a “prestigious area,” noting that our Main Street was recently designated as “Best Main Street in [the] USA.”
A sales office is located on the property, colloquially known as “the sand pits,” on newly-created Barnes Boulevard, off Chestnut street.
Hudson’s newest 55-plus active adult community will offer six different home designs, beginning in the low $800,000 range.
Amenities are to include a private, on-site community clubhouse and swimming pool.
Toll Brothers, founded in 1967, has built homes in 24 states and the District of Columbia. For more information visit EnclaveatHudson.com.
