The Purchase Process

Thank you for considering Keystone Development's newest Active Adult Community, Angell Brook Village.  We hope this is an exciting and rewarding process for you and we are confident you will be thrilled with your new home and lifestyle choice.  Below we have outlined the typical process for purchasing a home at Angell Brook Village.  While no two homes are alike and everyone's experience will vary slightly, this narrative will give you a general idea of how the process works.

1. Select a Floor Plan:
Your first step is to select a floor plan that suits your lifestyle and financial requirements.  We offer five models, allowing you a wide range of prices and floor plans to meet your needs.  All floor plans offer first floor master suite, vaulted living rooms, outdoor living space and one or two car garages.

2. Select a Site:
Once you have selected a floor plan, you can then select a site location.  Please refer to our site model located in the model home for available sites for a given floor plan.  Units on the site plan with two car garages can be either a Blackstone or Charles, and generally, if it is an end unit, a Merrimac as well.  The units with single car garages are the Wachusett and Quabbin.  The builder can sometimes change the style of building depending on your needs. 

Pricing for each unit is available online and in our sales model.  Pricing varies by unit depending on the individual attributes of each location.  Current pricing for available homes can be obtained anytime by calling 508-835-1707.  Prices are subject to change at anytime and prices online are not guaranteed until a reservation is signed.

3. Reservation:
To reserve a particular unit, a signed reservation form and deposit of $2,000 is required.  The check is held in escrow and is made payable to our attorney Jaile & Trifilo. Sales are on a first come, first serve basis and units are only held after a check is received.  Please note that the reservation is legally non-binding. The reservation form should include your attorney's contact information.

4. Purchase and Sale:
We ask that you sign a Purchase & Sale within 20 days of receiving it from our attorney.  The Purchase & Sale will be mailed to you or your attorney by Baron & Trifilo and a standard packet with other related documents will be given to you at the time of reservation by Keystone's marketing department.   A 10% deposit is required at the signing of the Purchase & Sale (payable to Baron & Trifilo.

5. Plans, Options & Selections:
Now the fun begins - designing your new home!  We will contact you to schedule a selections meeting for customizing your condominium.  You will be given an Options & Selections sheet at the time of signing a reservation.  This list along with your visits to our models and review of other marketing material, will assist you in making your selection decisions so that you will come to your first selection meeting well prepared.  Be sure to make a list of all your ideas, concerns and questions.  We have helped design dozens of homes and will assist you in making selections and suggesting ideas to meet your lifestyle.

Below is a list of typical items you will be choosing at the selections meeting:

In addition to your Options & Selections sheet, a floor plan will be customized for your particular unit. The customized floor plan and Options & Selections sheet are the documents we use for construction and you will be signing off on each upon finalizing your choices. Keystone is responsible for building to these documents. Sometimes items are seen in the models or discussed verbally which are not standard or have not been included in the official documents. The customer is responsible for reviewing their floor plan and Options & Selections sheet to insure everything they want or are expecting is indicated. If it is not in writing and signed by a Keystone representative, then we cannot be held responsible for it.

A check for 70% of your upgrades is required at Purchase & Sale or after completing your initial selections, whichever comes later. The check must be received at least four weeks prior to beginning construction (payable to Angell Brook Development Corporation). Patricia and Alyssa will keep you informed of important deadlines.

Change orders after the initial selections and even after construction has begun are allowed, but depending on where we are in the construction process, the change order might not be possible or may cost more than our standard pricing sheet indicates. All change orders after the initial selections are finalized must go through Christine in our Marlborough office. Again, changes which are not in writing and signed by a Keystone representative will not get made.

6. Construction & Closing:

Keystone's construction schedule is established twelve months in advance.  At the time of Purchase & Sale, we will give you an estimated closing date, however, these dates are subject to change.  During the construction process we will keep you updated on a peridoic basis.  Generally we will notify you approximately eight weeks prior to closing and again two weeks prior to completion.  If you have a change in circumstances regarding a closing date, please notify us at your earliest convenience.

Eight weeks prior to completion of your home, all customer supplied items must be delivered to the model. Every item must be clearly marked with your unit number, your name and the room in which the item is intended. Special instructions should be noted in writing and given to Alyssa.

You may not enter your home during construction without a Keystone staff member at a pre-arranged appointment. Our site is a hard-hat area and is strictly monitored by our insurance company.
