Newcastle Homes in Richwoods Model . . . WOW!

Yes, WOW!

Even before the sheetrock, brick, stone and roof this home looks AMAZING! I took a quick walk through the home and you can tell from the boards that a lot of time and effort was placed in choosing the materials.

Newcastle Homes is a custom builder with some of the most attractive plans of any of the builders in Richwoods. They make sure to include functionality of an everyday family and look at each traffic patterns to help utilize every space of the house.

They plan to sheetrock this week.

If you are larger home and like the nicer things in life, Newcastle Homes includes most of the upgrades you will include with other builders and is priced very competitively.

Landon Homes in Richwoods Country offers brilliant Wood Inlay

Jun19

In the John R. Landon Signature Series, the model will include wood inlay in the Kitchen in their model.

This by far is one of the most impressive features that is rare in any home. I actually, have this in my dining room in my house currently, and it is probably the most talked about feature from most guests.

What is it about it? Who knows. But it is definitely worth it for a “WOW” feature.

“Maybe that the feature is so uncommon or that the cost is too high, but you would be surprised how affordable it really is!”

In my house we have marble squares in between. But if you price out the wood and tile, it most likely would be a very affordable option.

The model is almost completely bricked and stoned outside and is looking great! The home is sheetrocked and is a great Floorplan of the 865.

If you would like for me to get you pricing on the wood inlay in any Richwoods Home in Frisco, give me a call at (469) 733-2723 and I can get it priced out for you.

Below are a couple pictures I took of a finished wood inlay of our dining room. And yes, we use our dining room as a play room! (embarrassing!)

VANDEVENTER People!!!!

Jun16

It’s VAN-DE-VENTER!!!! There is no “R”. I’m usually okay with someone mispronounce words, things, people etc. But I can’t even tell you how many times I have heard “VandeRventer” in the past couple of weeks.

Is it a Texas thing? I don’t know, maybe.

But I know that my sister-in-law is the PTA President for this first year so I KNOW, it will drive her nuts!

Vandeventer will be the middle school that both Richwoods and Lawler Park students will attend.

So let’s all agree to leave out the “R”!!!

Richwoods Round-Up for Friday June 15th, 2012

Jun15

There has been a tremendous amount of activity at Richwoods in Frisco.

“As of today, there is a total of 91 homes contracted on in RICHWOODS!!! That is amazing!!! That is all 4 builders combined: Newcastle Homes, Toll Brothers, KHOV and Landon Homes.”

As you can see from the video, things are moving quick!

There are currently 3 completed Models. ( 2 for Landon in Richwoods Place and Richwoods Glen; and KHOV’s in Richwoods Place) The new KHOV model is complete and Kim Stewart will be moving in the model tomorrow! The Newcastle Model is slated for Sheetrock in the next couple days, and the John Landon Signature Series model is about a couple weeks to go. (Story about the models to follow)

There are currently 7 homes for homeowners being built and another 12-15 that have the frame boards up and are waiting in line. All of these homes are Landon’s in the 64’s and some are in the 74’s which are in waiting.

K Hovnanian (KHOV) will start all of their homes in the first phase and plan to close them all by the end of KHOVs fiscal year which is at the end of October. 2 will be specs right now and there will not be a huge discount as usual with specs because they plan on selling both full price.

Newcastle plans to start 2 of their homes next week. And Toll Brothers is up in the air. They have not started either of their two models.

Pull Out Spice Racks . . . A Must!!!

Jun15

This may sound crazy . . . But every client that I have had purchase in Richwoods in Frisco, has placed the pull out spice racks as a “NEED”, not just a want.

“Having 100% of my buyers choose the pull out spice racks shows that for re-sell it might be as important as a master down in Texas.”

I will tell you this, the first time I saw the spice racks pull out from the wood hood, I was in awe!

I think my #1 question is, “Why did it take so long for these to come out?” it makes perfect sense! When you are cooking, why walk to a pantry, search on a counter, open a cabinet or even go to the dining room table? Why not just raise your arm and pull out the spice rack?!?

Genius, and so simple!!!

It’s funny how little things like spice racks weren’t invented in the 1900’s.

In Richwoods, both Landon Homes and KHOV both have the pull out Spice Racks in their models.

And if Toll Brothers and Newcastle include them in their models, I am soooooo right!

KHOV model in Richwoods is looking good!

Jun9

KHOV Model in Richwoods is almost done!

If you walk through the doors, you will see what I mean! The KHOV model in Richwoods is definitely not the quality that I had in mind.

Don’t get me wrong, K Hovnanian can build a great house, I just was not expecting this quality in Richwoods.

They are either putting a lot of upgrades in as standards, or loading it up with upgrades.

Unique Pendant Lights!

From the soaring ceiling on the entry, the staircase, the high-end granite and upgraded lighting package with the pendants in the kitchen or the two or three rooms that have the large wooden beams on the ceiling, KHOV is doing it right.

Looks like they are around 2 weeks out. Can’t wait to see it finished!!

Newcastle Homes and John R Landon release lots in Phase 5 of The Landing

Jun7

The Lots have been split up!

The Landing in Richwoods in Frisco has released phase 5!

The lots might be the best of the 84 foot wide section due to their location and easy access. Both John R Landon and Newcastle Homes on the 36 lot release.

Some of the lots have the old mature trees that will be in homeowners backyards! But these lots will most likely be sold when plans have been created to fit the footprint of these smaller, but very sought after lots.

Richwoods in Frisco Stone Entry Underway

Jun6

Take Independence North today from Highway 121 and you will hear and see the “clinking” of hammers chiseling away large stones being sized just right for Richwoods Entry.

At Kelmscott is the main entrance into Richwoods and the large cinder blocks have been laid for the base of the wall up to 12-14 feet tall in some areas.

This is just the beginning though for the stone look. At the end of this month, the Richwoods amenity center will begin, and WOW, now that will be a lot of Stone!!!

The guardhouse has also begun to take shape and should be complete by the weekend.

You will also notice that 3 homes are already in frame stage, with 12 more to begin in the next week! And that is only in the 64’s!!!

It’s getting exciting!

Landon Homes in Richwoods Glen offers Hardwoods Standard

Jun5

Starting tomorrow at The Glen in Richwoods, Landon Homes will have “Nailed Down Hand Scraped Hard Wood Floors” as a STANDARD!!!

Most luxury home buyers expect wood as a standard. So in the $400’s most builders are faced with this dilemma and choose to not include it so the price is lower.

Landon has a superior advantage in Richwoods because Toll Brothers is around $80,000 above Landon, same square footage adding the wood floors.

Wood Floors are definitely one of the top 3 amenities that buyers look for, and good for Landon to add this at the Glen. It will help!
