Is it time for you to begin the next, most exciting and carefree phase of your life? Then leave the mowing and shoveling to others while enjoying a lifestyle that is as relaxed or as stimulating as you choose.

Brandywine Village, located only a few minutes west of Butler, is a cozy neighborhood where adults with shared interests become friends.

Four uniquely designed home models with varying amenities and floor plans will suit every possible taste or need. Sidewalks traversing roads accessed only by residents allow for safe walking to a neighbor or for exercise.

The two-bedroom, single-story Canterbury model has a unique open floor plan, a spacious master bedroom with cathedral ceilings and a large laundry/utility area. Each newly painted and carpeted home includes all major kitchen appliances, breakfast bar, dining area, walk-in closet and a two-stall integral garage located to eliminate noise in the building's three adjacent units.

Curl up with a book before the clean-burning gas log fireplace that is standard in each unit, or enjoy the sunshine on your choice of a large private patio or enclosed sunroom in the Abbey and Canterbury models.

One of the four models includes a room with French doors that can be used as a den or office. The Chateau model has two baths, a powder room and three bedrooms, including a guest suite on the second floor.

Year-round fun with friends and family is just a few steps away at Brandywine Village, which has a clubhouse with heated outdoor swimming pool and recreation room with a kitchenette, fireplace, billiard table and large-screen TV. The clubhouse hosts activities for residents, who also can reserve it.

Brandywine Village's location is another main attraction. Situated just across the Butler Township border in Connoquenessing Township off Route 68 West, residents can continue to shop, worship and visit where it is familiar to them, then return to relax in a landscaped neighborhood.

So if the kids are grown and you're ready to simplify your life, or if you're newly married but not ready to take on the time and work required by land ownership, tour the new home waiting for you at Brandywine Village.
