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.

But what really catches your eye? What really makes this home perfect for the upcoming Holidays? Your winter-wonderland view of the back yard! Large windows align the family room and breakfast area walls allowing you a gorgeous look at the almost 2-acre wooded home site. Imagine watching the snow fall and the occasional deer visit while baking recipes that have been passed down for generations.

Use the first-floor master suite to wrap those last minute gifts while your friends and family relax and watch movies in the ample upstairs bonus room, complete with a full bar for snacks and spirits! Three additional bedrooms complete the upstairs to entertain all of your winter guests.

Haywood Community and Visions

Haywood Community and Visions

Haywood concepts overall

Many of you have been waiting and very patient while we get development underway and are now ready to share Homes by Dickerson’s newest exclusive community, Haywood! We are officially recorded and can begin sharing the vision and details.

Haywood is located just off Glenwood Ave and Pinecrest Road in North Raleigh. There will be 25 home sites available; some heavily wooded and a few basement opportunities. Homes will be starting from the $650’s and will all have distinctive design details that make Homes by Dickerson custom communities unique.

Here are a few pictures of our plan charrette that our in-house architect, Jeff Williams, and our designer, Rachel Bailey, put together to show us some of the colors, exterior elements, details and options that could be available in Haywood.  Linda Bohling will be Haywood’s Community Sales Manager working alongside of Project Manager, Ryan Speight. Our team works hard to listen to your clients needs and wants and will put together a package and home design that is right for them. They will have the option of starting from our current plan portfolio, modifying those plans or designing something completely unique. We have selected three homes to get the community started that will be available for sale. These homes are the Sullivan B, the Foxborough Hill II and the Underwood. **Note that anything shown in the pictures below are subject to change and lot numbers shown are not exact and are to just help give guidance to the overall concept**

All of our homes will be high performance meaning they are Energy Star® and National Green Building Standard Certified which ensures your home is not just energy efficient, but is also more comfortable, healthier and right for the environment.

Our initial Haywood concept portfolio can be seen by requesting online or a package of information can also be mailed or picked up if you would prefer to review the details that way.  Simply send your request to info@homesbydickerson.com.

To maintain the integrity of the vision for Haywood, each elevation will be reviewed and approved by the architectural review board. Typical building time is about 8 months from start to finish and will be spaced accordingly due to demand to ensure that everyone receives personal service and attention.

Homes by Dickerson offers a full design center and showroom where you and your clients will be able to work with our design team to bring their home to life. Initial meetings with Linda and Ryan be held at our design center until the community is farther along. The design center is located at 7201 Creedmoor Rd, Suite 147, Raleigh, NC 27613.

Linda and Ryan will begin setting appointments the week of July 21st with those interested. It will be important to know and understand your buying power and not have any contingencies to be able to build. To view a list of Homes by Dickerson’s preferred lenders, click here.

If you are interested in getting more information or setting up an appointment with Linda and Ryan, please call 919-413-7104 or email info@homesbydickerson.com .  We look forward to working with you to build your new home in Haywood!
