Visit our Featured Homes on the 2016 Green Home Tour!

Since building high-performance homes is a passion of ours, we are excited to once again participate in The Triangle’s Green Home Tour, sponsored by the Home Builder’s Association of Durham-Orange-Chatham Counties! Not only is every Dickerson home Energy Star certified but they are each crafted to the National Green Building Standard and voluntarily built to the NC Hero Code so it is hard to choose which homes we want to put on the tour every year.  However, we are very excited about the two custom plans being featured this spring!  Here is a sneak peek at these beautiful floorplans, both of which are chock full of energy and cost saving features for you and your family!

The Fairfield in Wendell Falls
This Fairfield home is a traditional-style home design featuring a wrapped covered front porch, a first-floor guest suite and an expansive, open living area. Three additional bedrooms, including a spacious master suite, and a generous rec room are found upstairs. Builder features include ample closet space, custom trim, granite counter-tops and an abundance of windows! A two-car garage and screen porch complete this desirable floor plan which is just waiting to be “The Home of Your Life™!”

Homes by Dickerson Celebrates 1st Sale in Newest Community, Madison at Evan’s Creek!

One of the greatest thrills we get as a custom homebuilder is seeing the progress and change of one of our very own developments. After more than a year of research, planning, and brainstorming, our visionary stage for a piece of land in Apex has turned into a new, custom home neighborhood. As a result of partnering with the experienced and successful Jim Allen Group, we are pleased to announce that we have just completed our first sale and look forward to building a custom design for our newest Dickerson family in this great area!

Madison, a Homes by Dickerson exclusive community priced from the $430’s, features 40 home sites with cul-de-sac, basement and wooded view options. It embodies the elements and values of “Small-town America”, focusing on traditional architectural designs.   This neighborhood of custom-built, single-family homes, convenient to the Historic District of downtown Apex, offers accessibility to local parks, dining, shopping and entertainment. Madison combines the beauty of historic design elements with current high-performance, green building standards. Come lose yourself in charming streetscapes and peaceful outdoor living!

We encourage you to visit this jewel in the heart of quaint, convenient Apex at the corner of Evans Road and Humie Olive Road.   With its beautiful neighborhoods, great schools, Historic Downtown and friendly residents, it is no wonder that Apex was just named Money Magazine’s #1 Place to Live in the U.S.!

Now is the opportune time to schedule a private tour of the community and to get a sneak peek of our two Parade Homes located in Madison!  And for all of our Realtors, be on the lookout for our next Realtor Social invitation-Coming Soon!- which will be held in Apex and highlight this great neighborhood!

If you have never had voodoo pig bread or sweet potato hush puppies, then you missed a real treat last night! Over 65 Triangle Realtors came together at our Fall Social to enjoy great food and spirits and learn about our current programs and upcoming communities. Since Homes by Dickerson has not had one of its regularly-held socials in the Cary area since 2008, it was great seeing old friends and new faces, all of whom are excited that Dickerson is again building on the West Side of Raleigh.
