Our Southern Living Showcase Home
Our approach to building beautiful, legacy homes creates an inclusive space for you to craft a lifetime of memories alongside your loved ones and guests, across the generations.
Featuring James Hardie Siding, Timbertech Decking, Belgard Permeable Pavers, Bevolo Gas Lanterns, reclaimed hardwood flooring, and custom furnishings and design touches, exposed beams, wallpaper and brass accents throughout, this beautiful home is a seamless example of Universal Design. Every room, and every outdoor living space in this home is fully accessible. The gentle slope of the cobblestone walkway through the back garden acts as a quiet, self-propelled ramp. The garage access is step-free and fully accessibile. The second story is accessible by an installed elevator. Rooms, doors and hallways are all wider. Each and every moment in this Southern Living featured home is thoughtful design, and welcomes all. Universal Design is the height of hospitality, and aids to create a feeling of luxury, legacy and home.
Our Home Plan
Our Southern Living Showcase Home is special: it is the first to be entirely Universal Design. This means every aspect of the home is accessible to guests and family.
Building a custom home involves a lot of planning, designing, imagining. Creating a Showcase Home is no different. Every step of the way is dreamed up by our team and then approved by Southern Living. Our team of experts are bringing to life something really special.
Every aspect of this home is not only modern, high-design, but it is also fully inclusive and accessible. Complete with an elevator and a no-touch water bottle filling station, our showcase home is the pinnacle of thoughtful and welcoming.
When you enter this space, you will feel welcome and like we designed this home for you, because we did. You will be surrounded by nature, and surrounded by beauty and the most beautiful home we could imagine.
Our Neighborhood:
Riverstone Estates
Nestled among vast expanses of natural landscapes, Riverstone Estates is one-of-a-kind: inclusive luxury.
The first community built to Universal Design principles of its kind, Riverstone is a place where everyone can visit their neighbors, explore the outdoors, and have access to luxury custom homes built for a lifetime of welcoming family and friends.
