Chestnut Hill Realty, prop. mgr. for Norwest Woods, opens 2 new bldgs.

Chestnut Hill Realty (CHR), one of New England's leading full-service real estate companies focused on multi-family residential property management, has opened two new apartment buildings at its Norwest Woods property. In addition to the one, two and three bedroom town homes Norwest Woods currently offers, the two new buildings -- designed to reflect the architecture of the property's signature clubhouse -- offer 20 new one bedroom, one bathroom flats, and are available for immediate occupancy. The new apartment homes were designed with an open floor plan, ideal for entertaining, complete with a galley kitchen that opens up into the living area, connected by a bar-style counter. The upgraded kitchens come complete with stainless steel appliances and maple cabinets. Each until includes a washer and dryer, central air, wall-to-wall carpeting, individual water heaters, large closets, and storage space. Keeping with CHR's recently announced 'Living Green' initiatives, all of the units are equipped with Energy Star appliances that incorporate advanced technologies, helping families save approximately 1/3 of their energy bill with similar reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. "Since the company's inception nearly 40 years ago, CHR has been committed to energy efficiency and environmental concerns," said Bobby Zuker, chief operating officer of CHR. "Our new 'Live Green' initiative that has been rolled out at all of our properties, including Norwest Woods, really takes this commitment to a new level." "It's the new construction, plus the thoughtful layout, attention to detail and great location that will really attract people to our new apartments at Norwest Woods," said Chris Rodgers, senior project manager at CHR, who has helped spearhead the new construction and renovations.
