The Andrew model at Schoolhouse Landing in East Granby has been named the 2000-3000 SF Single Family House of the Year in the 2006 HOBI judging sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Connecticut.   The award will be presented at the HOBI awards dinner on October 18, 2006.

The model home at Schoolhouse Landing is the Andrew design. This home features a first floor master bedroom.  There is an extended arch window above the leaded glass front door in the two story entrance foyer.  A turned staircase leads up from the foyer to the second floor where there are 2 additional bedrooms, a loft, a sitting area and a huge bonus room measuring over 17' x 17'.  The two story tall living room is very bright with a glass door plus 7 windows including 3 with circle tops. 

The model home showcases many natural gas features.

The model home is furnished using furniture from Libby's Torrington Furniture.

Pictured above is the rear and left side of the Andrew model home at Schoolhouse Landing in East Granby.  The sliding glass doors lead to the finished basement level which has a wet bar, a second fireplace and a full bath.  The first floor master bath has an Aker whirlpool tub with a twin casement window above.  Above the casement window is a Hy-Lite acrylic glass block transom window.  There is another acrylic glass block window above the oversized shower with two seats. There is a television concealed behind the bathroom two way mirror above the double vanity.
