Last Chance to Live in Chapel Hill’s “Best Neighborhood!”

July 30, 2021 Homes By Dickerson

Homes By Dickerson is excited to announce that the newest – and last – phase is now selling at Briar Chapel. This is your final opportunity to build The Home of Your Life in the community voted “Best Neighborhood in Chapel Hill” by Chapel Hill magazine for six years running.

There are seven homesites available in this final phase. Each of these homesites allow you the flexibility to build from a variety of estate-style Homes By Dickerson floor plans. These are larger lots, which means you have more backyard space to spread out and entertain, relax, play — whatever your heart desires. These estate-style homes will be priced from the $900s.

Green New Homes in Chapel Hill, NC

Briar Chapel is a unique new home community in Chapel Hill, NC that was expertly designed to blend in with its natural surroundings. With 900 acres of preserved open space, miles of walking and biking trails, and community gardens, this master planned community offers indoor/outdoor living reimagined. The homes themselves are built with a nod to the environment, too and are high-performance, energy efficient, and green certified.

In addition to the tremendous amount of green space within the community, there are numerous ways to be active, healthy, and well. Experience the two resort-style pools, water park, splash pad, fitness center, sports courts, and picnic pavilions. Of course, we couldn’t leave out man’s best friend. There are multiple dog parks so our furry BFFs can get the wiggles out. There’s even a full-time activities director to organize events and social gatherings to promote the connected, neighborly way of life that already exists.

And of course, there are all the opportunities, events, dining, and shopping at your doorstep in Chapel Hill and in the Triangle beyond.

Breathe Easy in The Home of Your Life

February 15, 2021 Homes By Dickerson

If home is where you feel safe and loved, then building homes with healthier indoor air quality is the best match we could imagine! Our high-performance, certified-green homes are constructed with better ventilation, low VOC paint, and higher-quality materials that guarantee healthier indoor air — so no matter what’s going on outside, you can be sure that you’re always safe and secure inside your home.

From relaxing in your family room to cooking in your kitchen, everything you do at home is accompanied by fresh, clean indoor air that effectively reduces pollutants, increases comfort, and of course, gives you and your family peace of mind. The need for comfort and security is greater than ever… and we’re excited to say that you and your family can finally take a deep breath and relax!

Built For Health

Our homes are unmatched when it comes to craftsmanship and design — but what truly sets us apart are the products and materials we use behind the walls to make sure your home operates at peak efficiency.

Exterior Air Barrier: ZIP System® reduces the risk of water vapor moving into the wall system. Air barrier also assists with maintaining conditioned air. Maintaining conditioned air means less energy is needed to recondition the air. Less energy means lower utility bills. And since all building systems must perform well together to optimize the energy efficiency of a home, the savings can add up.

Low VOC Paint and Carpet: Some paints may emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can serve as an irritant to people with certain allergies. Our homes feature low-VOC paints that help improve indoor air quality. Low-VOC carpets help reduce airborne irritants that can cause problems for allergy sufferers and help improve indoor air quality.

MERV 11 Filter: The MERV rating is a measurement scale designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating & Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to rate the effectiveness of air filters. MERV ratings go from 1 to 16, with higher ratings corresponding to a greater percentage of particles captured. MERV 11 filters capture more than 95% of airborne particles including pet dander, dust, and smoke. Every HBD home features a MERV 11 air filter for your HVAC System that is designed to help remove dust and allergens from your home.

Electronic Air Dampers: The HBD building process includes full home ventilating which brings in fresh air from the outside.

Sustainable Materials: Our host of vendors choose materials that are not only good for the environment but also for the health and comfort of your family.

Comfort and Peace of Mind

Now more than ever, you deserve a home that prioritizes your health and well-being just as much as you do. Whereas older homes may lack the features that provide fresh, clean indoor air, our brand new, efficient homes are specifically designed to let you breathe easier than ever before. Every moment you experience at home is enhanced by healthy air — which means comfort and peace of mind, 24/7.

Since 2009, our team has embraced high-performance green building, and we are honored to have built the most single-family homes certified to the NGBS in the country. This year, we look forward to showing you how one of our healthy homes will make your life extraordinary.

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!”
