PURCELLVILLE, CLIFTON, HAMILTON — CarrHomes is putting the finishing  touches on three different model homes in three different Fairfax and Loudoun County Communities.

All three will be ready for move-in by the end of this year.  They can each still be detailed to your taste. And because these stunning new homes will be completed this year,  each comes with special incentives for settlement by December 31st.

At Waterford Creek in Hamilton, we’re completing a 6762 sq. ft. upgraded Oakton model (Lot #27) set on 3.8 richly wooded acres (with a stream).  This magnificent 3-car garage home includes a lush $20,000 landscape package for settlement this year.

Just up the road in Purcellville,  in the heart of Virginia wine country, you’ll also want to see our luxurious, 3-car garage Cypress model (Lot 2A).  This 4-bedroom, 4-1/2 bath residence is enhanced by an included rear morning room, an expanded family room with stone-faced fireplace, enlarged owner’s suite and a new (reduced) price of $799,900.

Finally, there’s Clifton Point, our brand new Fairfax County community in Clifton, VA., that fits perfectly  into the region’s premier equestrian setting.   On a beautiful 5-acre site here,  you’ll see a grand 7000 sq. ft.+ Augusta model (Lot #3) with 4-bedrooms, 5-1/2 baths,  a full, three-story rear expansion and a long list of upgrades included in the price.

Think about it. What better, more appreciated, more memorable holiday gift?  And with special incentives for year-end settlements, what smarter gift?  For more details go to carrhomes.com/delivery/.

CLIFTON, VA. — The sales trailer isn’t open (except by appointment).  Construction hasn’t begun. And roads aren’t yet paved.  But our new Clifton Point community of 12 luxury homes on magnificently wooded homesites – up to five acres – already has three sales.

Anyone familiar with this prominent southwest Fairfax County community  with its  small town flavor and sprawling equestrian estates understands the natural appeal of an enclave  like this.  And, anyone familiar with CarrHomes’ award-winning designs will appreciate the value.  The three-car garage residences stretch up to a sizable  6000 sq. feet of richly detailed, finished living space.  And 10 of the 12 homes planned  are sited on five acres or more.

The post There still is great acreage in Fairfax County, at Clifton Point appeared first on CarrHomes.

As much as CarrHomes would  like to take the credit for both the land and the homes, the Shaker Knolls site  with its tall trees and stream was here long before we designed our  nine homes to blend in.

The great benefit of purchasing a new home in a popular old neighborhood like this one is that it’s an opportunity for long-time neighborhood residents to move into a new home that better addresses their changing needs without having to move away from the friendships or nearby conveniences like those found at the nearby Reston Town Center.

There is only one, final five-bedroom home for immediate delivery on nearly an acre of land at Shaker Knolls.  It’s a spectacular,  fully customized, 7200 sq. ft. residence with 3-car garage, priced at $1,399,900.  And when it’s gone so will the opportunity to own new in this beautiful old neighborhood.

The post Can a beautiful new home fit in to a beautiful old neighborhood? These homeowners think so. appeared first on CarrHomes.

The obvious attractions of a new home are the visible ones – the layout  the finishes,  amenities,  appliances and technologies – any or all of which can be  tailored to your family’s needs and tastes There are the undeniable sensory appeals  of  a new home feel, and that one-of-a-kind new home smell.  Finally, and maybe most  significantly,  are the energy systems and energy savings you can only enjoy in a new home.

From the ground up,  new homes  include multiple layers of protection from the elements –  moisture and air vapor barriers, air infiltration packages, house wraps,  band board and slab insulation,  plus high efficiency heating and cooling systems.  So whether it is 9 degrees or 90 degrees outside, mother nature stays outside, while your new home keeps you dry and comfortable, inside.  And odds are most older homes include few, if any, of these energy savers.

What’s more, the efficiencies of new home energy-saving systems translate to real energy cost savings, year after year. Whereas, in an older home, the old roofs, old windows, old HVAC systems translate to… well,  you know.

HERNDON/RESTON — After more than eight decades building homes in northern Virginia we’re not at all embarrassed to admit we’re still learning what home buyers want.  But we pretty much know for sure what they don’t want – to be hurried.

The fact is,  though, once this Augusta model (lot #9) at Shaker Knolls is sold, only one more family will be able to own here.   And if you’ve been house-hunting in the Herndon/Reston area, you know exactly how limited  your choices are –  especially for a luxury home that already includes built-in custom-quality features.

This magnificent 5-bedroom, 5-1/2-bath residence with side-entry, three car garage  is more than just large.   It starts with a prized location just off Shaker Woods Rd. on a private court in one of the area’s finest neighborhoods.  Architecturally, it’s a timeless design with handsome brick front. And the interior easily qualifies  for adjectives like grand.  From the 10′-high ceilings throughout the main level to the large family room with rustic stone-faced, floor-to-ceiling fireplace.  From the added convenience  of both front and rear  Oak staircases to the warm luxury of  a 205 sq. foot morning room bathed in natural light, this immediate delivery home makes a pretty compelling argument for visiting Shaker Knolls “quickly”, even if its us the builder, urging you.

It is quite a setting For CarrHomes’ Clifton Point community, coming soon to a beautifully wooded site off Henderson Road.

Only 12 homesites will be available, 10 of which will stretch up to five acres (take off the end-zones, and that’s equal to nearly five football fields of space). The luxury homes will offer up to 6000 sq. feet of space with preview pricing from the $900’s. For more information call 540-882-9012 or click onto https://www.carrhomes.com/communities/view.asp

July 17 – Whether you’re looking for a single family home in Loudoun County or one of our signature four-level townhomes in Herndon and Tysons Corner,  we’re getting close to saying “Hurry, only a few left.”    And that means we’re getting close to developing new communities, too – just like this article in the Post says.  About time, isn’t it?

New home construction is a promising sign
Washington Post – July 12, 2012

The post In Ashburn, Hamilton, Herndon and Tysons Corner demand is finally and (thankfully) catching up with supply. appeared first on CarrHomes.

March 22–Tysons Corner, Virginia — The framing’s going up, the information trailer is on site and our new townhouses at Tysons Overlook, just off Route 7, are already selling.  With four sold before  construction started, we knew our  address, three minutes  East of Tysons Corner Center, would attract interest.  It’s one of Fairfax County’s most sought after locations. But we think size and design have a lot to do with our early sales momentum.

The classic brick-front exteriors of these three and four-level, two-car garage townhomes open into what are probably the area’s most spacious, 24′-wide interiors. And they include a number of custom-quality features and finishes, throughout  – from high ceilings on the main and upper level and hardwood flooring in the family room to island kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.

In the four-level variation,  you can have a full floor of privacy with a stunning owner’s suite, spa bath  and separate sitting area on the third  level and a two-bedroom loft a level up.  It’s a great plan with  flexibility built-in.
