Triangle Parade of Homes is happening!

Have you been feeling a little cooped up but don’t know where to go? We have an idea that can not only get you out of your house, but actually get you OUT of your house! The Triangle Parade of Homes is happening for three weekends in September and October. Get inspired to follow the growing trend right now for buying a new home. With low interest rates and homebuyers looking for a home that better fits their lifestyle, the Triangle Parade of Homes might be just what you’ve been needing to make the right move, right now.

Mark your calendar for September 26-27, October 2-4, and October 9-11, 2020. Wear your mask and be prepared to follow social distancing guidelines. And be assured that the builders are following high standards for sanitizing the homes and presenting you with a safe environment to browse.

This annual event gives browsers and buyers the opportunity to personally tour new construction homes by the top builders in the region. Sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County, the Triangle Parade of Homes shows off the latest trends and advances in home design. You can see what’s new in smart home automation, energy efficiency, interior colors, home systems, appliances, lighting, and plumbing fixtures. Also get a close look of the craftsmanship in the showcase homes.

Baker Residential has two entries in the Parade. We invite you to experience “The Baker Difference” that’s a proud feature in every home we build.

2340 Vandiver Way, Cary, NC 

This stunning, single-family home is under construction in Providence at Yates Pond, Baker Residential’s Cary community of estate homes near the American Tobacco Trail. One of just 80 homes that will be built here, this one reflects The Ashland II floor plan.

Start with an exterior that delivers outstanding curb appeal. We’ve chosen an elevation that artfully combines brick work with Hardie plank siding. The design incorporates architectural elements that contribute to the eye-catching view that’s hard to pass by.

Be prepared to wander through 4,676 square feet of interior living space at The Ashland II, which includes 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. This home has two suites—one on the first as well as the second floor—perfect for multigenerational living!

The kitchen presents a “wow” moment. The spaciousness, smart layout, and beautiful appointments make this room truly inviting. Plans for this kitchen include quartz countertops, which are highly sought-after by discerning homebuyers who want the durability and beauty of stone but with less maintenance. A butler’s pantry connects the kitchen with the formal dining room. This handy space can be used for serving, storage, clean-up, or as a beverage station.  We should also mention that the formal dining room will include a box cross ceiling, another design element that makes 2340 Vandiver Way a standout.

The main floor, which is designed with an open concept, has a large family room that will make it easy to entertain a large group. Off the front foyer, the flex room has French doors, making it move-in ready as a dedicated home office, home classroom or study space, media room, exercise studio, playroom, or whatever else you need.

The owner’s suite on the second floor delivers the luxury you deserve. The large bedroom is accented with a stunning ceiling detail. The owner’s bathroom presents the grandeur and comfort of a large, walk-in shower with its own drying area. Dual vanities and a private water closet make sharing much more pleasant. Dual walk-in closets give you plenty of storage for all your needs.

The upstairs includes a game room and large loft. These rooms add more living space and could be a great area for kids to study or entertain their friends.

This Baker Residential home at Providence at Yates Pond also includes front and back staircases, a screened-in porch, and 3-car garage. Priced at $967,102, 2340 Vandiver Way could be your new address! Estimated completion is this December. Contact Chris Faughnan at (919) 694-1800 for more details or to schedule a personal tour.

135 Grantham House Way, Apex, NC

Weddington is a Baker Residential community that reflects our commitment to fine living. Be sure to include 135 Grantham House Way on your Triangle Parade of Homes tour. This new home tour is another sneak preview of a home under construction. The Brampton floor plan used here shows off influences of Carolina architecture, with a large front porch and an 8-foot, mahogany, arched double front door. Imagine all the decorating possibilities for your front entry. 

When you step inside, the 2-story foyer presents a grand entrance with wood floors, wainscoting, and the wood railing that accents the loft above.

The Brampton blends a sensible layout with creative design elements throughout the 3,515-square-foot, 2-story home. The first floor’s open concept blends a gourmet kitchen, breakfast nook, dining room, large family room with a modern, linear fireplace, and a view of the rear screened porch. The inspiring kitchen includes an oversized center island with a granite countertop. You’ll also appreciate the double wall oven and walk-in pantry.

Like our home at 2340 Vandiver Way, this new residence features a guest suite on the first floor. Whether you’re hosting visitors or have family members living with you who need more privacy, this is a welcome feature!

Upstairs, there are 4 additional bedrooms, including the owner’s suite, which has a double-door entry. The bedroom’s drop box ceiling makes the large room feel even larger and the walk-in closet is as big as an extra bedroom! The owner’s bath is smartly designed to add luxury without wasting space. You have an oversized, corner step-in shower with a drying area, plus dual vanities, private water closet, and a linen closet.

Each of the upstairs secondary bedrooms has its own full bath—eliminating the complaints about someone taking too long!

The second-floor loft provides valuable flex space. Use it as a reading area, study zone, hobby space, or playroom. Who can’t use extra room in their home?

With a price of $663,020, the home at 135 Grantham House Way offers tremendous value. If this home sounds intriguing, contact Liz Bauer at (919) 249-5444 to schedule a private tour or learn more about the details.
