Pinnacle Estates Hancock Model Also Honored for 55+ Home of the Year as Builder Celebrates Seven Gold Awards
(West Brandywine Township, Pa.) – At this year’s highly anticipated Best in PA Living Awards, Traditions of America at Brandywine Farms was crowned 55+ Community of the Year, securing its place as the region’s best for 55+ active adult living. The annual event, hosted by the Pennsylvania Builders Association along with the Home Builders Associations of Bucks, Montgomery, Chester and Delaware Counties, recognizes the finest homebuilders, communities, and designs across the state.
In total, Traditions of America earned seven Gold Awards at the Gala, including 55+ Home of the Year for the Pinnacle Estates Hancock, Best 55+ Home Under 2,500 sq. ft, Best 55+ Home Over 2,500 sq. ft., Best Interior Merchandising Over $600,000, Best Builder Design Center, and Sales Team of the Year.
The prestigious wins recognize a vision brought to life: a place where luxury, nature, and community align to create a new generation of 55+ homebuyers.
Launched less than two years ago in Chester County’s rolling countryside, Brandywine Farms has become a phenomenon, offering not only award-winning homes but also a true lifestyle – where neighbors gather over wine tastings, pickleball tournaments, and fireside chats at the Clubhouse.
“From the very beginning, Brandywine Farms was envisioned as a place where homeowners could embrace more space, more beauty, and more opportunities to live life fully,” said Jerry Murnane, Executive Vice President of Homebuilding at Traditions of America. “It’s designed to celebrate this next chapter – where community and connection meet against a backdrop of natural beauty.”
At the heart of Brandywine Farms is its newly debuted 6,600 sq. ft. Clubhouse, a rustic-meets-modern hub featuring a Golf Simulator, heated Outdoor Pool & Spa, Sports Bar, Fitness Center, Dog Park, and a full-time Lifestyle Director who curates daily activities, clubs, and excursions.
The community’s success was further underscored with a second major award: the Pinnacle Estates Hancock – one of four models in Brandywine Farms’ exclusive Pinnacle Estates collection – was named 55+ Home of the Year. Designed for sophisticated buyers seeking both privacy and luxury, the Pinnacle Estates Hancock sits gracefully on an expansive homesite ranging from 1.5 to 5.5 acres, offering a rare combination of rustic elegance and modern craftsmanship.
Inside the home, you will find hand-hewn beams, soapstone countertops, dual primary suites, spa-inspired baths, and options for outdoor living spaces that feel like a personal retreat.
“Pinnacle Estates was created for the discerning 55+ buyer who desires the best of both worlds,” says Murnane. “Here, homeowners can savor the peace and privacy of sprawling, lush homesites – while still being part of a vibrant, connected 55+ community.”
Since opening, Traditions of America at Brandywine Farms is wildly popular – now over 80% sold out in less than two years. The success is a testament not only to the thoughtful design and desirable setting of the community, but also to the passion of the sales, construction, and lifestyle team behind it.
Brandywine Farms offers three distinct home collections, but it’s Pinnacle Estates – the ultra-private enclave of estate-style homes – that is truly a first of its kind in 55+ housing. With side-entry and detached garages, the option for custom pools on select homesites, and dramatic backdrops of preserved woodlands and wetlands, Pinnacle Estates offers a 55+ resort lifestyle unparalleled anywhere else in Chester County.
Brandywine Farms stands apart, boldly carving its own path with a fresh, elevated vision for active adult living.
