A Fond Farewell to Barton’s Grove!

February 21, 2018 Homes By Dickerson

It is always bittersweet when we finish building in a neighborhood, especially when it is a neighborhood which we single-handedly developed. While the bottom line of our work may be to build homes, sell homes and move on to the next location- the passion and attention to detail that we give to our neighborhoods causes us to reflect on the journey from start to finish.

Barton’s Grove has a personal sentiment for me. It was a dream of mine to work for the best custom builder in this area, one that valued its employees and cared about its clients. Homes By Dickerson was not just my top choice, it was the only choice for me. During my extensive interview process, I was asked to attend the Grand Opening of their newest community: Barton’s Grove. I was in awe from the moment I turned my car over to the valet and stood in front of the community’s entrance. I remember seeing green…everywhere. Lush carpets of green grass over gently rolling hills, mass amounts of trees thick with green leaves. It was absolutely breathtaking and I knew that a builder who could do this, a builder who could work in conjunction with the natural elements of the land and create exquisite homes which added to those elements rather than detracting from them, was the builder for me. Homes By Dickerson had taken a piece of land and transformed it, developed it into a work of art, where it would become an enclave of 42 home sites.

Over the next few years, Barton’s Grove would become a private neighborhood of luxury, custom-built homes, a perfect oasis for our specific home buyer. Great care was taken to create a unified look throughout, beginning with the rustic elegance of the entry monument, complete with stone, lanterns and manicured open space. This look continued through the groves with the carefully-planned hardscapes (stone and lanterns) in front of each home. Rolling hills wound their way through the community with beautiful wooded views at each turn making our unique vision come to life.

We had the privilege of building 42 different custom designs. We challenged ourselves and pushed out our creative boundaries, resulting in award-winning design and quality craftsmanship, and now we celebrate the closing of the very last home in Barton’s Grove.

I mentioned the bittersweet feeling involved because that is exactly what it is-a combination of excitement over the completion of a job well done and sadness as we say farewell to an old friend. Many, many hours have been poured into this enclave of homes by our entire team from initial planning stages and clearing to design, construction, sales and client care. We have all had a hand in the success of Barton’s Grove and reminiscently remove our branded signage, sweep the streets one last time, and get ready for our next opportunity…

The Home of Your Life! The Delaney in Barton’s Grove

February 27, 2017 Homes By Dickerson

Located in this beautiful oasis of Barton’s Grove is one of our newer floor plans, The Delaney: a move-in ready, custom home perfect for you and your family! This basement floor plan features a charming exterior of stone and shake as well as a corner-wrap porch. The gray tones of the exterior materials are successfully paired with darker decorative accents and support columns.

The calming color scheme is reflected on the interior as well from the light gray walls and the stained hardwood flooring and handrails. A darker gray/green color is used in the dining room which is an elegant contrast to the incredible trim and unique light fixtures! One of the eye-catching touches to this home is the curved panel ceiling in the galley leading through the butler’s pantry and into the gourmet kitchen. Our designers created a beautiful space by using both dark and light cabinetry, an over-sized island and decorative tile patterns above the cooktop. Small details such as the curved cabinet above the cooktop (a complement to the curved ceiling at the butler’s pantry) and the concealed door in the butler’s pantry (leading to fantastic wine storage!) add to the aforementioned charm and grace of the home. Additional outstanding features include the dramatic coffered ceilings and built-in shelving in the family room, the spectacular wooded view from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the breakfast room, the open living area, cozy mudroom, screen porch, and deck. A guest suite completes the first floor.

The Delaney also boasts a full basement with a study, rec room, full bath, patio and ample storage. This area gives the flex space needed for either guests, teenagers, in-laws, or just additional space to live, work and play! A generous master suite can be found on the second floor as well as another rec room, 3 secondary bedrooms and two more baths.

Barton’s Grove is one of those communities that you will regret not building in while you had the opportunity! Located between the convenience of Creedmoor Road amenities and the recreation of Falls Lake, Barton’s Grove offers the best of all worlds including estate-style custom homes on expansive, wooded home sites averaging 2 acres in size!

For more information on this high-performance, custom home or any of other move-in ready designs, please contact us at 919-917-3132 or info@homesbydickerson.com

We would love to make The Delaney “The Home of Your Life!”

Homes By Dickerson’s Home of the Week:: The Langley Forest in Barton’s Grove

June 10, 2015 Homes By Dickerson Comments 0 Comment

If you have not had a chance to visit the very peaceful and very beautiful neighborhood that is Barton’s Grove, now is your chance to see Homes By Dickerson at its best!

Come tour the Langley Forest, a Homes By Dickerson design which features a traditional front elevation mixing a variety of textures and facets including brick, shake, a trio of dormers, and a combination of shutter-clad windows and expansive windows with curved arches. This original floorplan boasts a two-car garage with an additional one-car garage, detached. Follow the curved paver stone walkway which leads to the cozy front porch complete with column supports, a wrought iron railing and a handsome solid wood front door.

Inside the home you are met with a very appealing color palette that balances both light and dark between the elegant hard wood flooring against the bright white trim as well as between the various wall shades of gray. Walk into your open foyer to view your formal dining room on the left and your study, complete with arched ceilings, on the right. You will be impressed by the amount of natural light that streams through the home due to the oversized and detailed window plans. Towards the rear of the home, enter the gorgeous gourmet kitchen and accompanying breakfast as well as the spacious family room. The kitchen boasts a combination of oversized, soft-close drawers and glass-front cabinetry while the family room will impress you with its custom built shelving, charming fireplace and elegant trim work. Of course you will not want to overlook the generous first-floor master and luxurious bath or the two additional first-floor bedrooms!

Even the laundry/mudroom combo, which features two exit doors, conveys a warm elegance with its darker gray walls and white built-in shelving and storage. Glide upstairs via the elegant stairway where you will see hand-stained French doors leading into the bonus room which contains not one, not two but three window seats! A fourth bedroom, full bath, and very spacious storage area completes the second floor. However, one of the most delightful components of this 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home is the stunningly green 2-acre view you will get from almost every angle and every window (including that of the screen porch with its vaulted ceiling)!

Take advantage of the Energy Star and NAHB Green certifications, as well as a HERS Score in the low 50’s, to save money on your monthly utility bills this summer and make the Langley Forest The Home of YOUR Life!
