Augusta model home unveiled

Georgia Club, maverick Brittany Corporation’s high-end residential community in Sta. Rosa, Laguna inspired by the American South, unveils its just-completed Augusta model residence, a gem of a home that reveals much about the genteel and refined quality of life residents may expect of this enclave.

Known for its master-planned "lifescapes" — each a community with a theme inspired by one of the world’s best destinations that brings the enjoyment of life to a new level — Brittany creates in Georgia Club such a "lifescape," one evoking the charm, leisure and neighborliness that was enjoyed by the old aristocracy of the American South. Georgia Club, launched only last February, is synonymous for gracious living, recalling the appeal of homes and communities that remain in the famous, historic area from Savannah to Athens in the U.S. state of Georgia.

True to its thematic origin, Augusta, like other Georgia Club residences, features a symmetrical facade and gabled roof. Architectural features include evenly spaced windows, dormers and high ceilings. Shaded verandahs and tall windows are designed to admit each visit breeze.

Augusta’s façade displays accents of color with bottle green shutters, white and butter yellow clapboards, asphalt shingle roof, and a front door replete with brass knockers. Augusta has a very sprawling wrap-around porch with access from the dining and living areas, perfect for neighborly visits, or weekend family breakfasts, or enjoying a delightful novel, or just snoozing contentedly on quiet afternoons. It boasts of three bedrooms, each with their own toilet and bath while the master’s bedroom features a bay window and a walk-in closet en suite a toilet and bath with tub. A family room on the second floor features wide sliding doors which open to a balcony. The attic has ample space for one side to be made into an extra bedroom for staying guests while the opposite area may be converted into an entertainment room for the whole family. The Augusta also has a four-car garage, auxiliary kitchen, maid’s and driver’s quarters with toilet and bath.

Mid-range in the array of Georgia Club model homes with respect to dimensions, Augusta encompass 280 sq.m. of floor area, Other Georgia Club models soon to rise beside Augusta are Madison with a 240 sq.m. floor area and the largest model Tara with a 300 sq.m. floor area.

Georgia Club features a ratio of 40:60 open space to residential development, allowing residents to enjoy nature from adjacent pocket gardens, gazebos, jogging paths, and the shade of mature trees from their own porch.

In partnership with the Quiros family which pioneered residential developments in Sta. Rosa, Brittany offers Georgia Club as a haven for families who are affiliated with the information technology and automobile industries in the area.

Adding to Georgia Club’s attractions is its accessibility to a range of educational facilities that are found close by, like the soon to rise UST’s teaching hospital, De La Salle University - Canlubang, St. Scholastica’s College, Don Bosco and the Ateneo Graduate School, as well as Acacia School which offers pre-school education.

Georgia Club is also a few minutes drive from recreational facilities such as the Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club and The Country Club and with its nearness to the Canlubang Golf and Country Club and vacation spots such as Tagaytay and Batangas, making it perfect for individuals and families who values relaxation and leisure activities.
