model village
A wooded community at Sam Houston Parkway and W. Lake Houston Parkway, Summerwood is welcoming fall and the promise of cooler weather at its Model Home Village, which has six decorated model homes filled with outdoor living ideas.
Priced from the $ 170,000s to $400,000s, these models feature twostory rotunda foyers with spiral staircases, kitchens with granite island the size of conference tables, and media rooms with stadium-style seating.
With the official first day of fall one week away, visitors may want to daydream about the outdoor living areas showcased in these models, from inviting front porches to covered patios.
Outdoor living highlights featured in these models include:
» In Ryland’s Fortissimo 2 model, the dining room has French doors opening to the front porch, providing an al fresco eating area framed by a rustic stone arch. The two-story family room opens to a covered patio.
» A covered patio with an outdoor kitchen wraps around the family room and kitchen area in Village Builders’ Tillman model, which displays the optional covered balcony upstairs.
» Three bay windows across the back frame views of an inviting covered patio in Westin’s Barcelona model. These windows add light and openness to the master suite, breakfast nook and twostory family room.
A stone-and-brick exterior with traditional front porch creates an inviting first impression for Lennar’s Mackenzie model. A covered patio offers an outdoor living area.
» Ideas and trends from Pinterest are featured throughout Taylor Morrison’s Camden model, indoors and out.
Visitors this weekend can check out the “Biggest Open House in History” event at Summerwood and its nearby sister community of Eagle Springs.
This event showcases more than 50 new homes ready for quick move-in in these two master-planned communities, both in the regarded Humble Independent School District.
A 1,500-acre community, Summerwood offers more than 200 acres of recreational amenities, including 17 acres of lakes, three community centers, wooded parks and miles of trails. On-site shopping includes the H-E-B Summerwood Market.
Summerwood Elementary School and Woodcreek Middle School are both on site, with Lakeshore Elementary within proximity.
