SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT Graziani Homes As Customized as Homebuilding Can Get W ith three generations of building under their belts, Graziani Homes is flying high in a field where custom builders have been falling to big box competitors who only claim to offer true custom homes. William Graziani, Sr. started building in 1965 after immigrating from Italy. His son William Graziani, Jr. worked for his father throughout high school until he left to attend Case Western Reserve University. Upon graduation, he returned to start Graziani Homes, to continue the family’s tradition of custom design and quality building. A few years after graduating from Washington & Jefferson College and becoming a real estate agent, William Jr.’s son Joseph also joined his father at the family business. The goal of Graziani Homes is to offer a customized approach from start to finish. Big box and semi-custom builders present you with a few plans to choose from and expect you to adapt your lifestyle to their layout. We can amend one of our many floorplans or build a plan provided by the customer. We also can make changes before or during the construction to accommodate the customers specific needs. We will even customize the size of the lot. Graziani Homes has been working in the Alto Piano community, adjacent to Southpointe, since the early 1990’s. By letting homeowners choose everything in the design of their homes, the development has grown organically into a thriving neighborhood comprised of residents of all ages and backgrounds. “We have homes for empty nesters, with all the bells and whistles, built on 4/10 of an acre for a low maintenance yard. We also have homes, built on an acre and a quarter, that are 5,000 square feet with detached garages for growing families,” Graziani said. “We have everything from young couples with toddlers, to families with kids in school, empty nesters and seniors which creates great diversity. This forms a neighborhood that is vibrant with homes that hold their value. There is always activity and homes are turning over naturally as people’s lives change.” What’s more, Alto Piano boasts more than three miles of internal sidewalks that connect to another seven miles of sidewalks in Southpointe. Neighborhood strolls are a common occurrence for physical and mental health, which gives neighbors an opportunity to interact for a greater sense of community. There’s also dedicated green space that residents can allocate to various recreational opportunities if the HOA so chooses. The entire development is surrounded by a conservation zone. Residents will never feel encroached upon by the outside world, creating a country setting just minutes from I-79.
