• Features: Builders employed modern construction techniques and materials, including fire-resistant drywall, high-end cabinets, granite countertops and hardwood and tile floors. Exteriors are sided with Hardie board cement planks, and stacked-stone or brick facades are available. Homes have multiple porches, made of Trex decking material instead of wood, and buyers can choose from 12 interior styles and nine door casings.
