I., under the sponsorship of builders Frank Wade and Al Wichard, it was announced yesterday. Three model homes, were opened for inspection, with one furnished and decorated by Gertz, of Jamaica.
With plans calling for the construction of 70 units, in three distinct architectural exteriors, the new home center will be called Old Mill Village, and will be another impetus to the development of fast-growing Wantagh. A price of $12,250 has been set for all the six-room dwellings, each of which will be complete with a Bendix washer equipped full-basement, an attached garage and a landscaped plot measuring up to 8,000 sq. ft. Nassau Homes, of Merrick, has been appointed exclusive sales agent.
The dwellings are from prize winning plans by prominent Jamaica architects Matern & York, who have dramatized the ranch design with knotty pine paneling in the dining room and rustic fencing around the off-kitchen patio.
