The Homes
Currently at Parkside we are offering the option of two home plans both designed to blend perfectly into the historic surroundings, one designed for growing families with young children, while the other might appeal to someone looking to downsize but still be part of a vibrant community. Both homes will feature an open floor plan, as well as all of the modern amenities required by today's sophisticated home owner. Each home is designed to have the all of the quality and efficiency of a new home while retaining the outward appearance and the high level of detail and authenticity of a 200 year old home. Some of the exterior features of the homes will include cedar siding, architectural shingles, Anderson "simulated divided light" widows, detailed moldings, and brick walkways. The interior of the homes feature such luxurious touches as granite countertops, custom cabinetry and built-ins, extra wide casings, and hardwood flooring throughout the house. The homes at Parkside will also includes many energy saving and "green" features such as Argon gas filled double pane windows with Low E coating, a fully insulated building envelope with vapor barrier including the ceilings (R56), the foundation walls (R10) and exterior walls (R27), a 92+ high efficiency gas furnace or optional Geothermal heating with multiple zones, humidity control, fresh air intake and Energy Star Rated Air Conditioning. In addition, TJI Truss Joists, Advantek Sub Floor, and finger-jointed trim materials will be used wherever possible, these products use smaller "new growth" trees as opposed to large dimensional lumber which require the foresting of much larger "old growth" trees.
