We know that not a lot of our customers will want a chicken coop in their backyard, but wanted to show it as one of the many fun things families can do with this much space, even though we're in a pretty urban environment. Copyright 2013 Moss Photography

Coronado, CA The Alameda Residence is situated on a relatively large, yet unusually shaped lot for the beachside community of Coronado, California. The orientation of the “L” shaped main home and linear shaped guest house and covered patio create a large, open courtyard central to the plan. The majority of the spaces in the home are designed to engage the courtyard, lending a sense of openness and light to the home. The aesthetics take inspiration from the simple, clean lines of a traditional “A-frame” barn, intermixed with sleek, minimal detailing that gives the home a contemporary flair. The interior and exterior materials and colors reflect the bright, vibrant hues and textures of the seaside locale.

The Dallas Builders Association Home of the Week features a stunning single-story home in the gated Ladera at the Reserve in Mansfield. This elegant home offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a 2-car garage, a study, and gorgeous upgrades in 2,114 square feet priced at $549,990. This promenade floor plan lives large. The entry opens to an expansive open living room with fireplace and upgraded ceilings, with an open dining space transitioning to a beautiful kitchen with a butler’s pantry. The master suite features a spa-like bathroom with separate his-and-her vanities and a free-standing bathtub. The large laundry room includes a dog wash station. A covered patio offers plenty of space for outdoor relaxation and entertaining overlooking community greenspace. Ladera at the Reserve in Mansfield is a 55+ Active Adult community featuring an array of beautiful amenities, attractive streetscapes and like-minded neighbors who create a tightknit community. Homeowners enjoy The HUB community clubhouse featuring a large entertaining, dining and meeting space with a kitchen and TV for large or small gatherings as well as a fitness center with cardio and weight equipment. Just outside The HUB is a resort pool with tanning chairs, an oversized arbor with grills, covered patios, a firepit overlooking community open space, and pickleball courts. Miles of walking trails throughout the community will lead to The Shack, a second amenity area featuring an indoor-outdoor casual gathering space, outdoor entertaining space, and a putting green. Safety and convenience are paramount in Ladera at The Reserve. A gated entrance provides a quiet and secure community while the HOA maintains both the front and back yards, making it easy to lock-and-leave home for vacation and family visits, and provides more time for enjoying the community amenities. The wide variety of home plans and front elevations create a beautiful community you’d be proud to call home.

The modern floating vanity is oversized with two sinks and ample counter space. The shower is the focal point of the room featuring two shower heads each with customized temperature settings. The light and airy feel of the home continues with a skylight above that floods the space with natural light. With ReAlta, we are introducing for the first time in Charlotte a fully solar community. Each beautifully detailed home will incorporate low profile solar panels that will collect the sun’s rays to significantly offset the home’s energy usage. Combined with our industry-leading Home Efficiency Ratings (HERS), these solar systems will save a ReAlta homeowner thousands over the life of the home. Credit: Brendan Kahm
