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

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!

While most of us would agree that it is better to give than to receive, we believe that purchasing a Homes By Dickerson home allows you to do both.  When you receive the keys to The Home of Your Life, you are giving your family a quality-built, custom home that is good for the environment and ready to house a lifetime of memories.

The Oakmont at Heritage is a perfect example of our give and receive mindset!  This unique design, over 3,700 square feet, is a balanced mixture of elegance and comfort.  When you walk through the solid wooden door, you just feel at home.  Notice the enhanced trim in the foyer and powder room to your right or the hand-stained coffered ceilings in the well-lit dining room on your left.  Words cannot describe the beauty of this open-plan, gourmet kitchen featuring an expansive, granite-covered island and charming butler’s area in the breakfast nook.  The details of this home from the bronze light fixtures to the wrought-iron balusters will amaze and overwhelm you but beyond the many built-in shelves and oversized windows lies an incredible outdoor living space.  Feel like the wooded backyard is an extension of your living room with this quality-crafted screen porch and deck, complete with a full bench and stone fire pit.

A spacious master suite, study and additional bedroom complete the first-floor layout but even more surprises await on the second-floor with the built-in homework center/craft area in the loft and stunning handmade window seat/daybed in the very generous bonus room. Drop zone, barn-door inspired pantry covers, granite counters in the bathrooms and so much more-this home is a must see!  Make the Oakmont The Home of YOUR Life and receive $5000 to use as you choose!  But remember that our commitment to building a high-performance green home with the highest quality in craftsmanship and design will enable you to give so much more to your family and your life than you could ever receive.

Our Red Ribbon Home of the Week, the Lakeview Manor in Croasdaile Farm, is truly THE perfect Holiday Home! From the moment that you walk through the solid mahogany double-doors your senses become alive. You can almost smell the boughs of holly that you would intertwine along the wrought-iron staircase balusters.

Laughter from your family gathering and holiday music wafts through the air as you saunter through the spacious foyer. To your left, the adorned fireplace blazes in the study where a family member is curled up with a Holiday read.

On your right, the formal dining room table sparkles and shines with your grandmother’s fine china and silver, a mixture of silver and gold to commemorate the season. The open family room and gourmet kitchen is abuzz with activity as your nostrils are assailed with a mixture of spices and pine, winter smells which flood you with precious memories. Delicious treats cover the oversized, granite-covered island and warmth permeates the rooms from the large ovens in the kitchen and additional fireplace in the family room.

Home of the Week :: The Albermarle in Briar Chapel

We have lined up a series of beautiful inventory homes for the Fall 2014 season and what better way to showcase these homes than our new “Home of the Week” series?

Our first “Home of the Week” is our gorgeous “Albemarle Craftsman” green-certified home in Briar Chapel!

This move-in ready home boasts a beautiful elevation complete with stone column supports, a wrought-iron railing and accent dormer. Stunning trim details are found throughout the ranch-style design which features an owner’s suite and guest bedroom on the main level. The open design between the gourmet kitchen and family room is perfect for entertaining but the most impressive feature of this home is the outdoor living space and the views of Bennett Mountain! Spend time this fall roasting marshmallows with family and friends on the permeable paver patio with its stone seating wall next to the screened porch.
