Spring is in the air — enjoy the outdoors and welcome spring on the North Shore

The birds are singing, the crocuses are sprouting and spring has arrived. What a wonderful time of year to be outdoors enjoying all that our beautiful North Shore offers. Taking a walk, enjoying nature and the fine spring weather is time well spent.

Boston Magazine, in its annual Real Estate issue of March 2012, named the town of Topsfield as one of 14 Best Places to Live 2012. Topsfield, the only North Shore community included in the list, was recognized for its open spaces, outdoor recreation opportuni-ties and natural habitat, including the 700-plus acre Bradley Palmer State Park, the 2,000+ acre Ipswich River Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary, the 2-mile Rail Trail (part of the proposed28-mile Border to Bos-ton Trail), the 454 acre Putnamville Reservoir preserve, and more.  The article also mentioned English Commons as a place to see in Topsfield.
English Commons at Topsfield, located at the gateway to Topsfield, is an open space paradise all its own, including a 50-acre conservatory surrounding the new, maintenance-free homes being built by C.P. Berry Homes. Here, residents can enjoy
the carefree lifestyle that is part of this active-adult condominium community.
Rather than worrying about the spring task of cleaning the yard and getting the
lawn mower ready, residents can enjoy the four-acre center common green with scenic
gazebo, stroll the walking path to the club-house (which includes a gathering room, reading room, fitness center, heated swim-ming pool and large, furnished sundeck),
or hike the natural walking trail through the preserved open space.
English Commons at Topsfield offers comfortable maintenance-free living, a secure gated community, on-site recre-ational amenities, privacy, open space and much more.  Visitors are welcome to tour the three designer model homes and the community amenities, which are open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Homes start at 2,200 square feet and offer cus-tomization and expanded living spaces up to nearly 4,000 square feet. All homes are built to Energy Star Level 2 certification
(meaning energy savings of more than 35 percent compared to a home constructed to code) and include C.P. Berry Homes’ exclusive two-year New Home Warranty.
Come tour English Com-mons at Topsfield and see why it received national recognition at the 2012 International Builders Show in Orlando, Florida in Feb-ruary 2012, including:
-- National Best New Com-munity 2012 “Gold Award” by Professional Builder
Magazine;-- Best For-Sale Active Adult Community “2012 Best of 50+ Housing Awards” by the National Association of Home Builders;
-- Best Green Community 2012 “Best of 50+ Housing Awards” by the National Association of Home Builders.
All signs point to a rebounding real estate market in 2012, starting now. Start your spring off by enjoying the outdoors and planning your move to the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of. For a preview, visit www.CPBerryHomes.com.
