New Model Home Village at Cape Coral In keeping with Cape Coral's status as a thriving community of fine homes, GAC Properties recently un­veiled a choice of four new model homes, each furnished with all the features needed for comfortable South Florida living.

Located at 1811 Cape Coral Park­way, the village borders on the west end of the Cape Coral Bridge and overlooks the sparkling waters of the Caloosahatchee River. The new GAC model home village is situated adja­cent to the Sales and Information Cen­ter, which offers the combined services of hostesses, customer relations per­sonnel, land and housing sales con­sultants. As guests enter the center, they are greeted by a uniformed hostess, who assists them and, if nec­essary, introduces them to either a customer relations representative or a sales consultant. Customers may also be given a tour of the model home village. GAC's recently instituted cus­tomer relations and sales program uti­lizes a staff of thoroughly trained, licensed representatives to service the company's customers.

As visitors view the models they are given the opportunity to carefully inspect and evaluate the homes, and to question sales consultants. When a customer decides to purchase a GAC­built home, consultants cooperate in drawing up contracts and, if neces­sary, in assisting customers arrange mortgage financing for the new home.

GA C's four model homes reflect the comfort and conveniences character­istic of South Florida living. Each home comes equipped with such standard features as wall-to-wall car­peting, central cooling and heating with silent insulated ducts, reinforced concrete foundation and lintel, pre-

The front door of each home leads first into an entrance foyer, and then into the large carpeted living room.

Large living and dining rooms, kitchen, screened porch and garage complete this home. The dining room of The Pine model includes the optional dome ceiling, located above the dining room table for an added touch of elegance.

This model includes a large two-car garage, living and dining rooms, fam­ily room, kitchen, screened porch and utility room. Ample closet and storage space is available throughout this family-sized home.

Each of the GAC models exhibits characleristics distinctive of the Flor­ida-style of living. The overall design of each emphasizes indoor/ outdoor

living by utilizing large window areas and bright, sunshine-like colors. Base prices range from $26,990 to $35,600. A choice from four elevations is avail­able with each home. Therefore, if a customer chooses the interior of the Royal Palm, he may also choose to have the exterior of the Banyan. Three different roof styles are also offered.
