America’s Home Place Takes Top Award at Parade of Homes

May 6, 2015 - PRLog -- America’s Home Place, one of the nation’s top builders of custom homes on clients’ property, has been awarded a top honor for its inaugural entry in the Volusia Building Industry Association’s Parade of Homes competition of 2015. America’s Home Place’s Curacao model was honored as the Grand Champion of the Parade for compiling the best judged score versus all competitors, based on design, quality and value. In Merit Awards, which are handed out by the judges for specific attributes of each entry, the Curacao was judged as having the "Best Master Bath".

"We are absolutely thrilled to have been honored by the judges for this home," says Steve Nordstrom, Division President for America’s Home Place. "It is particularly gratifying when you consider the very high level of competition in this year's Parade."

Nordstrom continued, “I also think this award demonstrates how high quality design and attention to detail don’t have to include a half-million dollar and higher price tag. The Curacao includes some great features sure to surprise buyers in this price point.”

The award winning home is located in Briarwood, a central Florida community near Ormond Beach. This beautiful neighborhood features large lots, winding roadways and architectural features such as barrel tile roofs and paver drives.

America’s Home Place currently uses the home as its central Florida Sales Center while planning and designing a permanent Building Center to be located in Port Orange. “We’re planning a significant expansion into central Florida in the next few years,” adds Nordstrom. “We see Florida as a great market for our core business model of constructing custom homes on clients’ property.”

America’s Home Place’s Curacao model is a 3 bed/2 bath/2 car garage floorplan with ample open living areas along with spectacular views from nearly every room, making this plan great for entertaining. The Owners' Suite includes private lanai access and a beautifully appointed bath. Additionally, the gourmet kitchen features expansive counter/bar space encompassing over 50% of the work area, making this a true ‘entertainment’ feature of the home.

As with all America’s Home Place plans, this home has endless customization available from the Port Orange and Jacksonville Florida Building Centers, including the architectural changes today's homebuyers demand in a truly custom home. The Company plans to rollout approximately 20 new house plans in the next few months designed exclusively for its entry into the central Florida market. "These are great plans, and I believe they are made even more appealing by America’s Home Place’s customization process," adds Scott MacLure, America’s Home Place General Manager. “We make our clients part of the process, which results in a top-quality custom home tailored to the individual buyer. With over 40 years of homebuilding experience, we can take much of the mystery out of custom building for the homebuyer."
