Move-in Ready Home of the Week:: The Lakewood in Briar Chapel

October 20, 2016 Homes By Dickerson

The interior of this Homes by Dickerson ranch plan, The Lakewood, combines elegant fixtures, custom trim, stone and rough-hewn beams to create the feeling of a luxurious mountain retreat. The earth tone color palette used in this home, from the beautiful clay colored walls to the unique fireplace mantel and surround in the family room, support that atmosphere. The charm and character of the study with its vaulted ceilings, hand-stained beams, floor-to-ceiling stone surround and dulled brass and copper light fixtures will make you envision calm, cozy evenings. Dark walnut stain on the site-finished hardwoods lends a warmth to each of the rooms on the first floor including a master suite, guest suites, family room and gorgeous gourmet kitchen. Upstairs you will find a generous guest suite along with a bonus room and ample storage. Additional features include a large screen porch, 10 foot ceilings, Electrolux appliances, an oversized home site and so much more!

Winter Wonderland Home of the Week:: The Bristol in Briar Chapel

February 26, 2016 Homes By Dickerson Comments 0 Comment

When it comes to this Bristol floorplan in Briar Chapel, do not be fooled by the cozy cottage exterior-this home is SPACIOUS! Over 3500 square feet of understated elegance and superior craftsmanship exist on this large, wooded home site-ready for your family to make it “The Home of Your Life™!”

A charming low stone wall graces either side of the walkway to your covered porch, hinting at what lies behind the impressive front door. The interior successfully merges warm brown flooring with cool gray tiles and fireplace surround.

Enjoy the convenience of a formal dining room and butler’s pantry for all of your entertaining opportunities as well as the expansively-open living area featuring an inviting kitchen, breakfast nook, and living room. A versatile room that can either be used as a study or a guest retreat is also found on the first-floor. Upstairs is a lovely master suite, two additional bedrooms (one includes a picturesque wall-to-wall window seat!), and a wonderfully generous bonus room. There is also a space on the third level that would be perfect for a playroom or an in-home office.

Another favorite of this home is the incredible views from your screen porch, overlooking a sizeable and beautifully-landscaped backyard, complete with a naturally wooded area.

Though you will want to spend as much time as possible in this stunning design, tucked away amongst your private scenery, do not forget that you will have all of the amenities of award-winning Briar Chapel at your fingertips!

Winter Wonderland Home of the Week:: The Hemingway Craftsman in Briar Chapel

January 29, 2016 Homes By Dickerson Comments 0 Comment

Two words that accurately describe Homes by Dickerson’s The Hemingway in Briar Chapel: Rustic Elegance. The mixture of stone, surrounding woods, natural wood details and enhanced landscaping give the feeling of a mountain retreat while the column supports, shutter details and window pediments create a stately façade. The interior continues this rustically elegant theme through its combination of hand-stained wood features, custom trim, and appealing color palette. Soft gray and blue walls contrast nicely with the dark wood floors, both of which are packaged with pleasant pops of white in the trim, ceiling detail and kitchen cabinetry.
Enjoy a spacious foyer, flanked by a private dining room as well as a cozy study. The rear of the high-performance, energy-efficient home is open to accommodate the light and airy kitchen, the breakfast nook, and family room complete with gorgeous coffered ceilings and custom-built shelving. This floor plan also offers a lovely first-floor master suite, a screen porch with a great wooded view, and a rear-load two-car garage! Two additional bedrooms and a loft complete the second floor.

Make this move-in ready Hemingway Craftsman, a beautiful plan in the award-winning Briar Chapel community, The Home of Your Life™ today!
