The Best of the Best - 2013 Showcase of Homes

By Patricia Older | News

SARATOGA SPRINGS – This year’s annual Showcase of Homes has been a rousing success with thousands of visitors touring the 14 homes being presented by 10 builders.
“Traffic has been brisk,” said Barry Potoker, executive director of the Showcase of Homes. “And there is still time for people to get out and see them—this is the last weekend.”

Ten award-winning builders from the area submitted a total of 14 homes for the annual fundraiser that benefits two local charities—Rebuilding Together Saratoga County and Habitat for Humanity.
“This year there is a terrific lineup of homes,” continued Potoker. “Each year we have unique nuances with each home and these are exquisite. They are also conveniently located in terms to getting around, another great feature.”
Potoker said he hopes the proceeds from this year’s Showcase will surpass the $66,000 raised last year.
“This is our 18th year and we have raised nearly $800,000 for the local non-profits,” continued Potoker.
To be one of the featured homes, the builders must be a member of Saratoga Builders Association and want to feature a home located in Saratoga County. They then team up with an interior designer to show the home as what it could look like.
The Showcase tour gives people the opportunity to see the newest trends in not only home design and landscaping, but in interior decorating including window treatments, furniture and appliances.
All feature unique nuances, such as Witt Construction’s 96 Oak Street—privacy on a city lot and perfect for the young family with a private master suite, a playroom and custom kitchen; Bella Home Builder’s 22 Liz Ann Drive—a 3,100-square-foot home with an open floor plan and gourmet kitchen; or Terrace Homebuilders’ 37 Henry Street, a 2,925-square-foot modern living meets classic charm condominium with spectacular views, two covered terraces and a theater/entertainment room.
Other homes include 27 Springwood Meadows Drive, Ballston Spa by R.J. Taylor Builders; Heritage Custom Builder’s 30 Forestbrook Drive, Ballston Lake; Malta Development Company’s 3 Admirals Way, Malta; Belmonte Builder’s 9 Maria Lane, Saratoga Springs; 13 Joshua Road, Saratoga Springs by Polito Home; 59 Jenna Jo Avenue, Saratoga Springs by Bella Home Builders; 1 Empire Springs Lane, Saratoga Springs, by Bonacio Construction; Saratoga Builders’ 1 Anthony Lane, Saratoga Springs; Bonacio Construction’s 422 Broadway, Saratoga Springs; 32 Greenfield Avenue, Saratoga Springs by Bella Home Builders; 24 Old
