August 16, 2018 Homes By Dickerson

Homes By Dickerson is proud to announce that we were once again named Best of the Best in Chapel Hill! Specifically Best of the Best Construction Builder by Chapel Hill Magazine for our work in Briar Chapel. We could not be more pleased with this honor as we strive to build the best custom, high-performance homes in The Triangle area. The August edition of the Best of the Best in Chapel Hill by Chapel Hill Magazine touted four area home builders in this category as the best that Chapel Hill has to offer its residents and we are excited to be a part of this elite group.

Briar Chapel is the Triangle’s largest green community located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Homes By Dickerson offers an array of high-performance, green-certified, single-family homes in this planned community, starting from the $300s-$750s. We have a portfolio of plans to choose from that you can customize and tailor to fit your lifestyle and needs! Briar Chapel is a unique community that blends in with its natural surroundings. Amenities abound here with approximately 900 acres of preserved open space that incorporates 24 miles of walking trails, parks, community gardens and dog parks. The Briar Club is a great spot to unwind with neighbors and friends, attend community events, or fit in a quick workout or group fitness class. With two saltwater swimming pools, a splash pad for the little ones, two water slides and picnic pavilions, you don’t have to look far for lots to do! Briar Chapel even has a full-time activities director on staff who coordinates a number of interest groups and events for all ages to enjoy!

Located right off of 15/501 in Chatham County, Briar Chapel is just minutes from Chapel Hill, Durham and Research Triangle Park. With I-64, I-54, and I-440 not far, it makes Briar Chapel a convenient place to call home to have the best of it all!

Parade to The Home of Your Life in the Bristol II at Briar Chapel!

September 30, 2017 Homes By Dickerson

Our next venture has us traveling away from the Cape Cod-inspired Fairfield Cottage and heading towards the rather transitional Bristol II at Briar Chapel! Soft hazy hues and nautical decor is replaced by a metropolis loft feel where elegance, rustica, and modern all propitiously converge, resulting in a transitional tone carried in the design.

Whites and taupes are used throughout the floor plan such as the white kitchen cabinetry and taupe kitchen island. These colors provide almost a paradox as the bright white lends itself to clean lines and is a stark contrast to the warmth of the taupe. Paradox or not, the colors successfully create and support the intended theme of the home. Take a moment to peruse your surroundings. Do you see the Calcutta marble backsplash in the kitchen or the aged antique brass pendants over the island? It is details such as the dark honey flooring and open shelving in the butlers pantry which provide additional layers of texture and color to this design. Follow that beautiful dark honey tone upward as it is also included in the wood header between the family room and kitchen as well as at the fireplace mantel. Also in the family room, the white cortsite ledgestone surround blends wonderfully with the soft gray of the furnishings but also give some composition to the room and open layout. Another intriguing detail is the “X” trim design used in a myriad of locations including the ceiling, kitchen cabinets and stairway newel posts. The stairs feature wrought iron handrails, a must to completing the mixture of metals used in this home. In fact, one of the most compelling features to this Bristol II is the mixture of materials found in all of the light and plumbing fixtures and how well they complement one another as well as the entire decor of the design.

These expansive clay windows enlarge the room and allow for an abundance of natural light.

This study is truly one of my favorite rooms we have ever built. The incongruous make-up of the custom shelving lends itself to an artistic design. The lines fondly work together with those of the sliding glass doors. Paired with the antique brass of the wall lights, the result is wonderfully rustic modern, ready for the big city itself.

Parade to The Home of Your Life in the Fairfield Cottage at Briar Chapel!

September 29, 2017 Homes By Dickerson

Our Parade journey continues on to the master-planned neighborhood of Briar Chapel where two custom designs by Homes By Dickerson await you to tour: The Fairfield Cottage and The Bristol II. Both homes are of the highest quality craftsmanship and both are equally exquisite.

As you walk through the Fairfield Cottage, the urge to grab an afghan and a hot cup of tea is overwhelming. The Cape Cod-inspired design is found in everything from the bold use of navy to the combination of black and chrome fixtures. Classic, clean lines, and understated elegance is what this home is about, all of which is emphasized by our nautical-themed decor. The exterior introduces the color palette with complementary stone work, gray siding/shake, and navy shutters. Inside the theme continues through the tongue and groove details, the classic gray hardwoods, and the use of lantern-like light fixtures. The dining room is a mixture of Westcott Navy walls enhanced by Repose Gray trim and a chrome lantern fixture but the real gem of the home is the gourmet kitchen where the island and hood are a brave navy, the quartz counter tops and perimeter cabinets are featured in a crisp white, and the back splash is a two-toned glass arabesque mosaic tile.

One other room which will completely wow you is the master bedroom which boasts 15 foot vaulted ceilings with tongue and groove details, exposed rafters, and an incredible hanging light fixture! The adjoining master bath will also not disappoint with its gray hardwood-like tile, navy cabinetry and simply elegant chrome fixtures.

Many more features add to the feel of this New England Cottage including the quaint butler’s pantry and the shiplap-covered barn doors with chrome hardware in the breakfast nook. Even the laundry room showcases navy cabinets and shelving surrounded by crisp white surfaces!
