2021 Housing Excellence Award Winners
The Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh (BAMP) recently revealed the winners of their 2021 Housing Excellence Awards. In 1996, BAMP began showcasing the outstanding craftsmanship of building and remodeling professionals in the Pittsburgh area. Entries are judged on their use of materials and space, interior and exterior design and, if applicable, curb appeal. Today, we are proud to announce Traditions of America earned gold honors in TWO categories: Best 55+ Housing for our Single Family Detached Home AND our Single Family Attached Home.
The Hancock – Best 55+ Single Family Detached Home
The Hancock, our largest home, won for its effortless flow, versatility, and sheer size of 2,393 sq ft. Despite being generous in scale, thoughtful quiet spaces are tucked neatly alongside the large and open gathering spaces, making easy-living paramount in this home’s design. Some notable features are the Great Room’s inviting 9’ high fireplace surrounded by New Hampshire Ledgestone, with built-in shelving, a stunning Chef’s Kitchen with 7’ Island, vaulted ceiling open to Great Room, and the ability to add a walk-in Pantry. Walls of windows and sliding French doors offer views and access to the Super Screened Porch and outdoor patio, while the Formal Dining Room with exquisite tray ceiling provides elegant, private space for special-occasion gatherings. The Hancock’s large Loft with overlook to Great Room is perfectly-sized for casual entertaining, a pool table, lounge seating, and TV bar with counter seating.
The Adams – Best 55+ Single Family Attached Home
For the attached home category, the Adams, a 2,137 sq ft right-sized home was the hands-down winner in its field. A surprisingly large, open feel and voluminous windows define the open first-floor plan of this 3-Bedroom/3-Bath home. The gourmet Kitchen opens to a light-filled Great Room with a soaring ceiling and inviting fireplace. Sliding French doors offer easy access to the Super Screened Porch and outdoor Patio perfect for al fresco dining. A sumptuous Primary Suite wrapped in handsome floor-to-ceiling wainscoting has an inviting window seat and roomy walk-in Closet. A second Bedroom is smartly tucked toward the front of the home, while the spacious second-floor Loft features a game table, generous lounge-seating, wall-mounted TV, and a large 2-person desk.
