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.
