Hard to believe the holiday’s are just around the corner especially when it is 70 degrees in November.    Squash Meadow has had a busy fall with two more modular sets this month!

Last week we had the modular boxes delivered to the island via barge and trucked up to the site on Curtis Lane in Edgartown.

This week on Curtis Lane the crews work on the exterior trim and the subcontractors have started their jobs installing HVAC and plumbing etc.

 

Later this week we have another modular coming to Lagoon Pond in Vineyard Haven.  Three bedroom, 1, 686 square foot home with two car garage below.  Be on the lookout for photos of the set!

 

At the end of the month we have another modular home coming to Vineyard Haven on Golf Club Road.  The three bedroom, two and half bath home is roughly 1600 square feet. The first floor consists of an open kitchen and dining area with study and half bath.  The second floor has a master bedroom and bath and two additional bedrooms and shared bath. Set day photos will be posted.

Summer is in full swing on the island.  The island is bustling with visitors.  Construction continues to be very busy on the island.  We recently completed three homes around the island and have another project nearing the end.  We set a new home in Vineyard Haven in June. The next wave of modular sets is coming this fall. Site work has begun for the next four homes.

Here is what we have been up to lately!

Edgartown, Farmers’ Road modular: Completed last week the owners moved in and are busy decorating.  This 3,900 square feet home consists of 5 spacious bedrooms, 5 full baths, one half bath. The home has an open living room, dining room and great room area that looks out over the rear deck.  The first floor has 4 bedrooms and office and a bonus room.  The home has been furnished and decorated by Vineyard Decorators. Check out a few photos.  Full home photos will be added to the website soon.

We hope everyone is enjoying their summer!                                     

 

Spring has arrived its 50 degrees and partly cloudy today.  Not bad weather to have for a set day!  Today we set a 2,023 square foot custom designed modular Colonial home in Oak Bluffs.  The property is located on Richmond Avenue.  The owners were able to be on site to watch the set happen in action from unloading the trailers to watching the cranes hoist the boxes on to the foundation.  The set crew is working on buttoning up the property after all four boxes were set.

   

The home was designed as a three bedroom, three full bath and two half bath home.  The first floor  is an open kitchen, dining and living area along with a first floor master suite.  The second floor contains two additional bedroom suites.  There is an open loft area that looks down to the living area.  On site the carpenters will build a sunroom on the back of the home. The contractors will also site build the front porch and back deck.  The basement will be partially finished with a family room and half bath.

 

We cannot wait to see the progress over the next few months and see what finishes the owner has picked out.  Target finish date is around July.

 

Hard to believe its the middle of January. Time has flown by and we continue to be busy here at Squash Meadow.

Our 100th home that we set in June has been completed and the owners are in the process of furnishing the home. Here are a few sneak peak photos…more to come in the next few weeks.
