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

Ask the roughly 600 people who call Hamilton, VA. home  (originally known as Harmony, VA)  and  the images take on more texture, from the native tribes and early European settlers who populated Hamilton before the American Revolution (many of whose descendants still live here) to the DC tourists who escaped the hot city summers in the mid-1800’s for Hamilton’s  fresh mountain air and popular boardwalk, to its early 20th century Western Loudoun  County boom-town appeal.   And finally to what it is today,  a charming northern Virginia town with a decidedly relaxed residential character, and a mandate to stay that way.

Natural beauty.  Rich history.  Small town flavor.  Most towns would be happy with any one of those qualities.  Hamilton, Virginia is not like most towns.

HAMILTON, VA.  Of course new home builders like CarrHomes, want you to visualize yourself in one of their homes and one  of their communities.  So the descriptions  we apply can at times get pretty  adjective-heavy, even if true.  Waterford Creek in Hamilton, VA. is a perfect example.  We’ve promoted the “magnificent” views of the Catoctin foothills, the “spectacular” 3-acre homesites, the “huge” secondary bedrooms, etc.  And now,

we’ve just opened our second section of these 4000 sq. ft.+ -3-car garage homes.  The lots in this section really are bordered by  woodlands (not just a few tall trees)  that are,  quite honestly beautiful.  So how do we convince you they really are wooded  and really are beautiful?  Well here’s a photo we hope motivates you to come see for yourself.  If not, we’ll probably have to come up with some more adjectives.  By-the-way,  there  is also a “stunning”, GALA award-winning model for you to tour.

October 4 – No matter what they call them every builder has homes that are about to be (or already are) ready to move in. And, in most cases, – like the “option packages” car dealers offer, these homes for “quick” or “immediate delivery” are as good or better values than the one yet to be built, where  you pick out all your upgrades individually. Why? For one you get to actually see the flooring, window treatments, the kitchen upgrades, and how much additional space that rear morning room adds, instead of just imagining them. Second, you don’t have to cross your fingers on what the interest rates will be after the election or a year from now. You can lock in today’s historically low rates, and then just forget about it. Best of all, you don’t have to wait  through the sure-as-the-sun-comes-up, yet somehow un-anticipated, construction delays that drive us all nuts (yes, builders, too).
