Construction of apartments underway in live/work Worthington neighborhood

It's taken a little time, but Keystone Custom Homes' Worthington at Township Square neighborhood is quickly taking shape, with its residential and commercial/retail areas complementing each other.

There's a lot going on in the community, including a new model home and work on the apartment phase of the subdivision, said Janette Hawkins, vice president of marketing and information technology at Keystone.

The Manheim Township smart-growth development will feature 259 houses 196 singles, 33 duplexes and 30 townhomes along with rentals above the commercial space.

The model house is a 3,197-square-foot Manchester with traditional elevation, including a wraparound front porch, a stone front and three reverse gables with pent roofs.

"We beefed up the details in the architecture," she said.

The home isn't currently for sale, but the floor plan starts at $287,625 including Keystone's 21 percent anniversary discount and the base square footage is 2,953.

Hawkins said the Manchester is a new design "that's very open and ... flows very well."

The staircase "is tucked away toward the rear of the house," she said, while the kitchen, breakfast area and family room open to each other.

"It's a great space for entertaining."

The two-story family room boasts a bowed wall of windows, and the formal dining room is sizable, Hawkins said. A study is situated off the family room.
