Wednesday, November 8, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 25 The Nugget Newspaper Crossword By Jacqueline E. Mathews, Tribune News Service PHOTO BY SUE STAFFORD Hayden Homes’ new model home is displaying the work of local artists. COLLABORATE: New development celebrated in Sisters Continued from page 23 also joined the Sisters Arts Association (SAA) and are collaborating with them by featuring artists from local galleries in their model home community art room, which is in one of the upstairs bed- rooms. Kit Stafford, an advi- sor to the SAA Board of Directors, curated the current exhibit to complement the interior of the house. Katy Wo o d e r s o n , Hayden’s representative for marketing in Central Oregon communities, met with SAA Board President Bob Burgess to work out the details for this endeavor that is new for both organizations. Burgess reported that Hayden plans to have an open house like last Wednesday’s every month. Hayden also will partici- pate in the Fourth Friday art strolls, offering refreshments and featuring the commu- nity art room. The SAA gal- lery maps can be found in the model home. New Home Star Oregon community manager for Hayden Homes, Kevin Hudson, has educated himself on the SAA and will encour- age visitors to the model home to visit art galleries in Sisters, according to Burgess. “Hayden has been won- derful to work with. This col- laboration ties right into our organization’s mission,” said Burgess. “For our 21 gallery members, this is a fantastic partnership that highlights the galleries, and the art associa- tion. Hayden is a great com- munity partner for us.” The 20 homes in the new- est phase of Village at Cold Springs include one- and two- story homes, ranging in size from 1,408 to 2,578 square feet, with prices beginning at $299,990 for the 1,408 single- story. There are a number of option packages available that can add $10,000 to $40,000 to the base price of a home. Some of the add-ons include upgraded flooring, upgraded hard surfaces like quartz countertops, gas options for the fireplace and stove top, and upgraded stainless steel appliances. According to Hudson, Hayden’s target audiences for VCS are young families with children and retired people who are looking to downsize. There are currently 13 presold homes, with four already occupied and four more almost ready for occu- pancy. Three of the four occu- pied homes were purchased by local Sisters residents. Other buyers are coming from Portland and California. When all the single-family homes in VCS are built, there will be about 70 additional homes, including the current 20. Simplicity, which is another branch of Hayden Homes, is building small cottages and a number of townhomes across Railway Avenue. Hayden Homes was estab- lished in Redmond, Oregon in 1989 by Robert Watson and now has additional offices in Washington and Idaho, build- ing mainly in towns located outside of larger metropolitan areas. Watson named his com- pany after his son Hayden, who went on to become the CEO of the company. For every home built and sold by Hayden Homes, a percentage of the profits is donated to the First Story foundation, which then selects applicants to receive an interest-free mortgage when purchasing a Hayden home. There are no set quali- fication requirements. Rather, each applicant is interviewed and awards are based on indi- vidual circumstances and needs. Hayden Homes is rep- resented in Sisters by New Home Star Oregon, part of a national realty group that represents home builders and developers in niche markets similar to those in which Hayden does business.
