Our Standards Are Their Upgrades

Monday, May 10th, 2010

At Westcott Homes we believe that our customers should be able to move into their new home without having to remodel immediately and without having to pay extra for the privilege.  That’s why our homes come standard with many amenities that other home builders consider upgrades.

Westcott Homes’ standards are sure to knock your socks off.  And, not to worry, they won’t empty your pocketbook.  Whereas, with our competitors, buyers can expect to pay upwards of $20,000 just to upgrade their homes to our standards!

The Difference Is Noticeable

Our buyers love the fact that even without paying for costly extras, their homes are move-in ready when delivered.  Real hardwood entries and stainless steel appliances are just a few of the amenities our current communities* come standard with.  Our competitors can’t compete with our pricing and value.

While our competitors are promoting their “Move-In Packages” that offer only some of the items that we provide as standards, we can focus on providing our customers with unparalleled quality and value.

What Do We Offer?

All of our houses include features that have been carefully engineered to appeal to today’s savvy buyers.  You will find these features in our current communities:

The Complete Package

In summary, we are confident that our homebuyers will enjoy living in their Westcott Home beginning the day they move in.  No worrying about landscaping the backyard or building a fence, it’s already done for you.  No need to worry about upgrading the kitchen because, we’ve already done that for you too!  Westcott Homes knows what’s important to our buyers and instead of making you upgrade to what you really want we automatically include it in our homes for a stunning and complete package.

*Our current communities as of May 2010 include Mountain Ridge in Monroe, WA and Langley Meadows and May’s Ridge is Renton, WA.

Feng Shui by Plan

Monday, February 8th, 2010

For more than 3,000 years, humans have relied on the art and science of Feng Shui to balance the energies—or Chi—in our living spaces. And now, at Westcott Homes’, we too have employed the principles of Feng Shui to design the homes and neighborhood of Langley Meadows in Renton and Mountain Ridge in Monroe.

Look at some of the top Feng Shui properties of these new homes, and learn more about Feng Shui here.

The Beacon

  • Good definition of the door (The Mouth of Chi) with the pillars on either side.
  • The family room, dining room and kitchen have a good connection to each other
  • The interior stairs are well placed.
  • The foyer is open and welcoming and allows Chi to flow easily and harmoniously
  • Bedrooms #2 & #3 provide great spots for proper bed placement.

The Leschi

  • The Master Bedroom allows for good bed placement.
  • The hallways on the 2nd floor are well laid out and serve to guide Chi optimally to all bedrooms and areas.
  • The rest of the bedrooms – bedrooms #2, #3 and #4 all provide for good bed placement which translates to health and wealth.

The Montlake

  • The excellent kitchen translates into strong finances and good relations between male and female energy (yin/yang) .
  • The stairs are in good position. Energy is not flowing out the door but stays contained in the home.
  • The owner’s suite is well laid out. The bed can be placed with a strong wall of support behind it instead of windows behind.

The Ravenna

  • This home has a good placement for the Owner’s Suite in relation to the rest of the home because it is in the Partnership and Marriage area of the home and is conducive to creating and enhancing strong partnerships and marriages.
  • The bed can be placed using correct Feng Shui (wall behind, window to the side).

Living In Renton

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Westcott Homes’ Langley Meadows is located in the City of Renton on the southeast shore of Lake Washington. Located 13 miles southeast of Seattle, Renton offers inhabitants an escape from the big city while maintaining many of its conveniences.

Currently, Renton is home to over 82,000 people, making it the 11th largest city in Washington and the 5th largest in King County.

History of Renton

The City of Renton started as a coal mining town in 1873 when the Renton Coal Company, backed by Captain William Renton, organized.

Finally, on September 6, 1901, the town was incorporated, and Dr. Abijah Ives Beach, a physician who provided care for the coal miners, took over as the first mayor.

During World War II, Boeing selected Renton for a plant that would produce B-29s for the military. The new plant brought thousands seeking employment and the city grew to become what it is today.

Recreation in Renton

Renton has more than 29 beautifully maintained parks and trails to explore.

In fact, Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park on Lake Washington was voted one of the top five parks in the Seattle area for children by the Seattle Times.

Renton also offers an 18-hole golf course, a skate park, a community center, a neighborhood center, a senior center, two libraries, and a history museum.

Arts and Entertainment

The Renton community supports a vast array of public and private arts and entertainment, including three performing arts centers, the Renton City Concert Band, and Renton Youth Symphony Orchestra.

Shopping

If you’re looking for a day out on the town, Renton has all that you’ll need. The city supports a wide range of shopping destinations including an antique district and Washington State’s only IKEA.

Feng Shui at Langley Meadows

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

For more than 3,000 years, humans have relied on the art and science of Feng Shui to balance the energies—or Chi—in our living spaces. And now, at Westcott Homes’ Langley Meadows, we too have employed the principles of Feng Shui to design the homes and neighborhood of this beautiful Renton community.

What is Feng Shui?

The ancient practice, devised in China, focuses on living in harmony with the environment. In English, Feng Shui literally means “wind-water.” In Chinese culture, wind and water are associated with good health.

The ultimate goal of Feng Shui is to assure the health and good fortune for the people living within the space.

Feng Shui and the “Westcott Feel”

Before construction began on the Langley Meadows community in Renton, Westcott Homes turned to Shelley Diamond, an experienced practitioner of feng shui.

Diamond, founder of the Blue Mountain Feng Shui Institute in Seattle, visited the site and carefully reviewed floor plans, offering recommendations and advice on promoting the positive movement of Chi throughout the neighborhood and homes.

Diamond has more than 15 years of experience with feng shui and holds two certifications. She is an expert in the Classical Form School approach which focuses on how the architecture of a home ultimately creates its own energy. The practice is founded on mathematical principles and scientific fields of study, including geology, astronomy, and physics.

Bringing someone like Diamond to the table as we design a community is just one of the many ways we create that “Westcott feel.” We hope you appreciate the level of detail and careful approach we have taken while planning Langley Meadows.
