Hearthstone Builders, Inc. joins with Pines Village Retirement Communities in building single-family homes in the beautiful retirement community of Meridian Woods.  Enjoy the luxury and privacy of a single-family home in a maintenance-free community.  These new models offer large master suites with walk-in closets, kitchens with counter seating and dinette areas, first floor-laundry rooms, and optional finished basements. 

Builders Dick Bowers, President of Wheeler-Bowers Builders, Inc. and Marge Frame, President of MB Builders, Inc. formed Hearthstone Builders, Inc. in 2004.  After years in the building trade, Dick and Marge decided to combine their experience (over 36 years) to create homes for the mature adult.  Both Marge and Dick are members of the PCBA, Porter County Builders Association, and through the National Association of Home Builders have become Certified Aging in Place Specialists (CAPS).  This means that they have been trained in:

• The unique needs of the older adult population
• Aging-in-place home modifications
• Common remodeling projects
• Solutions to common barriers

Using these concepts and the knowledge they have learned through years of experience, Hearthstone Builders has incorporated universal design techniques to create two floor plans for Meridian Woods. These single-family, open concept homes are designed with wider doorways, first-floor laundry rooms, comfort-height commodes, and showers with seats. Oversized hallways and wide doors make this home easy to navigate, and full basements can be used for storage or can be finished for additional living space. 

These wonderfully affordable single-family homes by Hearthstone Builders give you the space you are accustomed to and the quality you demand.  There are two floor plans scheduled for construction on Lantana Court: The Breckenridge and The Kendall.  Each home boasts nine foot ceilings throughout, Andersen Windows, a Kohler plumbing package, name-brand appliances, an attached two -car garage, and a full basement.  Enjoy all the privacy a single-family home provides while taking advantage of the peace of mind that comes from carefree, maintenance-free living at Meridian Woods.
