What homeowners say:

"Even though the space was the same as Nancy's previous home 1,000 square feet the architectural design made it feel much roomier." "The functional built-in storage area and shelves, and level of detail and finish were of a quality you usually find only in custom-built homes. We feel like we've moved up, even though we don't have a bigger home."
