Jason Levesque has announced a new subdivision of new single-family homes, Harness Way, in Granby. The first home will be constructed at 76 West Granby Road and complete by the fall. Three- and four-bedroom homes will be available on lots ranging from 30,000 square feet to over an acre.
Location, location, location
The 23-acre site directly across Route 20 from Salmon Brook Park was used in the early 20th century as a fair ground. The annual two-day event featured livestock, produce, handicraft, gardening and cooking. Other attractions included draft horse weight pulling, baseball and the most popular feature: harness racing. Harness or “Sulky” racing was a highlight of the fairs, drawing thousands to the bandstands to watch participants race a ½ mile track. Paying homage to this historic and culturally rich part of Granby, this new community was named Harness Way.
“It’s a convenient, family friendly location that allows easy access to shopping, restaurants and Salmon Brook Park,” said Levesque who gained approval from the Town of Granby Planning and Zoning Commission in June 2021.
The builder availability
Six house plans are available, designed with growing families in mind. There are also options for “move-down” buyers featuring a first-floor master bedroom. The plans include a generous array of features and details. Many options and upgrades are available including bonus rooms, high-end finishes and finished basements.
