When John and Joanne Kasmirs decided it was time to downsize from their three-story, 2,400 square-foot home, they turned to Gerstad Builders and its Poplar Grove real estate at The Trails at Dawson Creek.

After 8 months of searching, the Kasmirs discovered just what they were looking for when they found that the professionally decorated and furnished Cobblestone model home at the Trails of Dawson Creek was for sale. Not only did the home present an outstanding price, peaceful location and the opportunity for an immediate move-in, but the builder came highly recommended by a nephew who has lived in a Gerstad Builders home for the past 8 years.

“The move was easy, we just had to bring our clothes and food into the 100 percent decorated and furnished model, and we had an instant home,” said Joanne.

The retired couple loved the Cobblestone model home that features a traditional floorplan with distinctive room boundaries, a large unfinished basement and a three-car garage.

“Just about everything in the house was perfect. The furniture and decorations met our architectural style and made for a very easy transition,” said Joanne.

In addition to being fully furnished and decorated, the Cobblestone model home features many popular upgrades including ceramic floor tile, upgraded cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, dual door refrigerator, washer and dryer and a garbage disposal.

Although the Cobblestone model home located at the Trails of Dawson Creek was purchased, buyers can still choose this floorplan when constructing their new Gerstad Builders home. The Cobblestone model spans 1,782 square feet and is composed of two bedrooms, a den that can be an optional third bedroom, two full baths, a formal dining room, great room and kitchen with breakfast room, priced at $192,990.

The Trails of Dawson Creek sales center is open Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. For more information, visit the Gerstad Builders website or call 815-547-0800.
