Core’s Top 5 Floor Plans for Entertaining

🎵 It’s the most wonderful time of the year! 🎵

The holidays are quickly approaching, and many of us are excited to welcome family and friends back into our homes. Is your home ready for entertaining?

One of the top reasons for building a new home is to design a home to fit your needs. As a successful and respected new home builder, we offer a wide range of features and floor plans that keep everyone in the conversation. Core has the home features to create the perfect environment for holiday gatherings, from spacious kitchens to comfortable great rooms.

Here are our top 5 floor plans for entertaining:
ASPEN
This ranch floor plan uses every inch of its 2,100 square feet of living space wisely. Highlights include 9-foot ceilings on the 1st floor, a beautiful open great room concept, and a large kitchen with an island, making entertaining a breeze. The Aspen even has space carved out for a separate den area.
CAMBRIDGE 2
The Cambridge II is a modern, well-designed, 2-story home. Want extra space? The Cambridge comes standard with the superfamily room and you can add an optional sunroom. With 2,400 square feet and 9-foot ceilings on the 1st floor, the Cambridge II is a great place to call home for the holidays.
CARMEN
Your guests will be in awe from the moment they walk into your 2-story foyer with beautiful oak railings. This 3,900 square foot, 2-story home equips 9-foot ceilings on the 1st floor and a large kitchen with a center island connected to the family and dining room. 
ALEXANDRIA
Our Alexandria model is a spacious 3,000 square foot, 2-story home with a full basement. Your guests enter a stunning 2-story foyer showcasing beautiful oak railings and dramatic archways. You’ll love the large kitchen with an island, formal living and dining rooms, family room adjacent to the kitchen, as well as a den and laundry room off of the kitchen.
HAMPTON
Like the Aspen, this 2,100 square foot ranch floor plan allows guests to feel comfortable with its 9-foot ceilings on the 1st floor, a beautiful open great room concept, a mudroom, and a large kitchen with an island and walk-in pantry.
Let Core build you the perfect home for the holidays.

Core Homes: Homebuying Made Simple

Selling and buying a home can be a stressful time. At Core Homes, we want to make the process easy for you. We have our own real estate agent, Lynda Baker, who will help you sell your home from the start. Lynda has years of experience and makes the process of selling your home easy and enjoyable. We also offer a list of preferred lenders with who we have been working for over 15 years. Our lenders are extremely familiar with the new home building process and want to make this time as easy as they can for you too.

At Core Homes, we love to work closely with our homebuyers to make sure we build them the quality home of their dreams. We understand everything that goes into building a new home, and we are here to walk you through the steps.

At our sales office, we handle everything from contract to closing. Our homebuyers come in to select all the items we use when building their home during the building period, including siding, flooring, countertops, cabinets, and more! While your home is under construction, we have our superintendent walk you through your home twice. First is our pre-drywall walk; this is to walk through your home for you to see the framing, electricity, and plumbing before the drywall is installed. Then your final walk happens a week before your home closes. This allows you to walk through your finished house and make sure everything is the way you wanted. At Core Homes, we want our homebuyer to be a part of the new home building process. Our sales office is always available to answer your questions.

Kitchens Deliciously Customized Just for You. Build Your New Home with Core.

The kitchen designed initially for cooking meals has transformed into the heart of your home. Core Homes understands that a kitchen is a place for the family to convene, socialize with friends, work on homework, pay bills, and enjoy food. This area is also vital in year-round celebrations, especially the holidays, so we know it’s just as important that we customize a kitchen to fit all your needs. At Core Homes, we bring you options and personalizations to create an inspiring space that will ensure every day is fantastic no matter what is thrown at you.

KITCHEN ISLAND

A kitchen island is a perfect place to have heart-to-hearts with family and chit-chats with friends. It is also a great addition to your kitchen as it adds more storage space, seating options, and space for preparing your favorite dishes. With more people working from home, they also provide an additional workspace for the students and professionals under your roof.

CUPBOARDS & CABINETS

Say goodbye to boring cupboards and cabinets. At Core, birch cabinets as your standard option with the choice between 7 shades of color. Our cabinets have 36” uppers giving your family ample cabinet space to store your wide variety of cooking supplies.

LIGHTING

Lighting places a key role in attracting attention to your kitchen. Consider customizing your kitchen and showcasing your island with pendant lighting. This type of lighting helps reduce glare and eye strain, and it never goes out of style. We also offer can lighting, so not only can you get your ceiling back, but you can show off a sleek, modern look.

TOP-QUALITY APPLIANCES

Want more? No problem. Top-quality and great appliances come included. Our kitchens all feature a high-efficiency refrigerator, gas range stove, dishwasher, and microwave. And, you have the option to upgrade these appliances to stainless steel. 

UPGRADE

Add value and durability to your home by dressing your countertops in granite or quartz, make life less complicated with pull-out trash drawers, shelves, and pantry cabinets, and store all your snacks and large equipment in a walk-in pantry. Let’s top it off with a pop color and creative design in your new custom backsplash.

When you let Core Homes help create the kitchen you have always wanted, you’ll choose from quality, stylish design options that will also serve your preference and style.
