June 14 – Everybody agrees the kitchen is the most popular room in any home. In fact, we enter and exit the kitchen an average of 12 times per day on weekends, according to website sheknows.com.

So CarrHomes devotes more time planning and designing our chefs’ kitchens to satisfy, not just the needs, but the desires, of our homeowners.

Take this kitchen in the Lancaster, our new model home now open at our Waterford Creek community in Hamilton, Virginia.  It  is a classic example that commands your attention with its high ceilings and included hardwood floors. The open corner design with granite-topped cooktop island is more than just attractive and inviting. It creates an efficient triangular working environment focused around the cooktop. The stainless steel refrigerator and wall oven are at one corner. The double bowl sink and built-in dishwasher are at the other corner. Every appliance is literally just a step or two away from the cooktop.  Natural light brightens the kitchen from both the rear and the side of this home.  And since kitchen storage space is on the top of everyone’s wish list, our kitchens feature custom-quality and an abundance of custom-sized 42″ wood cabinets.

But to really appreciate this and all our CarrHomes‘ kitchens, step inside any one, at any of our northern Virginia communities. We’re certain you’ll see and feel  the difference.

April 27 – We’re just putting the finishing touches on our brand new 4522 sq. ft. (and that’s just on two levels) Lancaster Model home at Waterford Creek. And what a family home it will be. Sited on three acres in a beautiful, tree-framed Hamilton/Leesburg area community, it will have what we call “forever” views of the majestic Catoctin Mountains. This stunning new home in Loudoun County with a side-entry three-car garage has highlights everywhere. It begins in the sweeping main-level family room/breakfast area/chef’s island kitchen that stretches across the entire rear of the home – a large, yet inviting place you, your family and your guests will love. Upstairs, in addition to the dramatic owner’s suite with separate sitting room and lavish spa bath, you’ll see three secondary bedrooms that are far from secondary.  Each is very generously sized with a walk-in closet and each has direct access to a full bath. We could go on, but you really need to see this model yourself.  It definitely lives up to all our adjectives.

The Sales office is open Friday – Sunday, 11 am to 6 pm.  Or call  703-926-7469 for an appointment at your convenience.

March 27–Northern Virginia — HomeAid Northern Virginia, which builds and renovates homeless shelters, transitional houses and other facilities that help homeless people, announced the completion of two renovations that will enable previously-homeless families to have new, safe and comfortable places to live. The $13,600 in renovations enables shelter care providers to channel their funds into what matters most—ending homelessness.

“Every single project we undertake directly benefits the homeless families and individuals who live in this area,” said Michael J. Scheurer, HomeAid Northern Virginia President and Northern Virginia Community Outreach Officer for the Virginia Housing Development Authority. ”Without the ongoing support of the residential building community and their trade partners, we wouldn’t be able to take one so many renovations. Their commitment to each project is outstanding.”

Recently completed projects include:

Conversion of a townhome for Vint Hill Transitional Housing.  HomeAid arranged for Brookfield Homes to convert an empty townhouse in need of serious repairs into a home for a mother and her three daughters, all under age 11. The townhome had been used for storage for the past 11 years, but was renovated so that at family could live in it. The $7,500 in renovations involved updating the bathrooms and kitchen, replacing the washer and dryer, repairing drywall and repainting throughout, installing new flooring and carpeting and updating light fixtures.

“The work they’ve done is amazing,” said Lura Bratcher, program coordinator for the Fauquier Family Shelter, which runs Vint Hill Transitional Housing, “and the fact that it will allow us to house another family is absolutely wonderful.”

Townhouse renovation for Reston Interfaith. Over the last five years, HomeAid has worked to renovate five of Reston Interfaith Housing Corporation’s 47 townhouses, all of which are rented to families and individuals who earn half or less than half of the area median income. The most recently completed project, managed by CarrHomes, involved the renovation of a two-bedroom unit, with work encompassing nearly all aspects of the home, including exterior siding repairs, replacement and painting; interior painting; electrical repairs and upgrades; carpet cleaning; and bathroom repairs. The total value of the project is approximately $6,100.

“HomeAid has been extremely helpful to us, and we consider them a strong partner in our acquisition process,” said Tim McMahon, vice president of Housing and Community Development for Reston Interfaith. “They’ve always stood at the ready for us, and they’ve always been there when we’ve needed help.”

HomeAid is currently managing a 4,000 sq. ft. expansion of the Northern Virginia Family Service’s (NVFS) Family Care Shelter, located at the SERVE campus in Manassas and will begin the renovation of eight studio apartments for Volunteers of America in Loudon County this spring.

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.
