THE ERICKSON TRIBUNE
To say that Dana and Phyllis Stahlberger had their eyes on Ann’s Choice is an understatement. “We first took a look at Ann’s Choice when it opened a few years ago,” says Phyllis. “We knew then Ann’s Choice was a perfect fit.”
The Stahlbergers had 5- 1/2 acres of land just north of Doylestown, Pa., that took a lot of their time. Dana did a fair share of hunting and other outdoor activities, while Phyllis tended to three gardens on their property.
“When you’ve got all that land and a big house like we did, I call that ‘hard work,’” laughs Dana. “So we got on the Priority List and put ourselves in position for the perfect home.”
The “perfect” home, according to Phyllis, was a ground floor corner home. Since there are only four sides to a building, the Stahlbergers used their Priority List position to secure the home of their dreams.
“We felt good about having our name on the Priority List, and it put us in a position to make choices,” says Dana. “We really liked Ann’s Choice.”
The Ann’s Choice Advantage
Dana points out that the 100% Refundable Entrance Deposit was something they hadn’t seen before. “That really caught our eye. I mean the idea that Erickson doesn’t keep our money when we pass away and that our children or estate get it, is really something. That’s an incredible advantage over most other communities.”
With three children and six grandchildren close by, the Stahlbergers also like the location as well as the lay of the land. The bustling, 103- acre gated community that’s also located next to the Township Park made the transition from all that land, to a home at Ann’s Choice much easier.
“Then, during the summer Ann’s Choice announced the opening of Taylor Crossing and we were able to get the corner home we were looking for, plus the style of home as well,” says Dana.
The home the Stahlbergers got was The Jackson, a beautiful twobedroom, two-bath corner home with large windows.
