1. South Caswell – 5261 Square Feet

2. South Channel – 4575 Square Feet
Although not quite as large as South Caswell, the 4-bedroom South Channel design is striking all the same. The sprawling 3-story home features an abundance of space for gathering and entertainment, separate his and hers master bathrooms, a butler’s pantry, and tons of large windows for natural light.
3. Quail Run – 4458 Square Feet
Just slightly smaller than South Channel, Quail Run is an impressive 5-bedroom plan with a dedicated home office, exercise room, and ground-level recreation space. One of the main draws of this design? Its generous front and rear porches and grand front entrance.
4. Shearwater – 4124 Square Feet
