9 Awards. 3 Golds. More than any other builder.

This morning, members of our sales team attended HBAR’s 2012 Parade of Homes Awards Breakfast and we were thrilled to learn that StyleCraft Homes had been recognized with nine total awards, three of which were gold in their category. This makes the second year in a row that StyleCraft has been the most decorated builder on the Parade. We’re extremely proud of our entire team for concepting and building some of the best homes in the area. And we’re thrilled to be a part of such a vibrant homebuilding community.

If you haven’t visited homes during the Parade before, we’d encourage you to do so in 2012. It’s a great way to see new floorplans, finishes, and building technologies, as well as find inspiration for decorating idea, furniture organization, and more.

StyleCraft’s award winning models can be found in the three communities below. They’re open during the Parade on weekends from noon to 5:00PM, starting October 6 and running through October 21. (But if you want to come during the week, our models are always open from 1:00PM – 6:00PM on Mondays, and from 11:00AM – 6:00PM Tuesday through Saturday.) We have a total of 14 communities with available lots and incredible floorplans to choose from, and we would love to see you at any of them during the Parade of Homes!

2012 Parade of Homes

We’re still a few months out, but at StyleCraft we’re already excited and getting geared up for the 2012 Parade of Homes. Each year, the Home Building Association of Richmond hosts their Parade of Homes, showcasing the best of what’s happing in new homes construction in the Richmond region.

In 2011, StyleCraft Homes was honored to be recognized with 14 awards, more than any other builder. In 2012, we’re excited to introduce four brand new floorplans being offered in four different StyleCraft communities. To view floorplans and renderings, or to find information on each of the communities, please click the links below.

  • The Magnolia in Abbey Village at Charter Colony
    The Magnolia is one of StyleCraft’s two new floorplans in Abbey Village. This new plan is available on the few remaining basement homesites in the community, and offer the opportunity for a spacious first floor master suite, a two-story family room, rear staircase and one-car garage. The basement can also be finished into a game room with a wet bar and an additional bedroom with full bath.
  • The Savannah at Three Notch Place
    Destined to be one of our more popular townhome plans, the Savannah features a first floor master suite, bright and open kitchen, a spacious and open living area, and large secondary bedrooms, many with walk-in closets. As with all homes in Three Notch Place, this plan also showcases all-brick exteriors, distinctive brick paver driveways, and 50-year roofs. And because Three Notch is a low maintenance community, the headaches of upkeep are kept to a minimum. (Please note that the photo here is of an existing plan at Three Notch Place. The Savannah is under construction and will be photographed when complete prior to the Parade of Homes.)
  • The Appomattox at West Oak
    This brand new single-family home plan boasts dual master suites, both first and second floor living spaces, two front porches for maximum outdoor living, a spacious screened-in porch and back deck for hosting gatherings, and a kitchen fit for a true gourmand. With large, wooded homesites situated on rolling hills in a private gated neighborhood, residents can relax knowing their homes will be well cared for, both inside and out. Neighborhood upkeep such as mowing the lawn, raking leaves and keeping community spaces neat and clean are provided at West Oak.
  • The Essex at Westerleigh
    As one of our most spacious plans, the Essex includes a spacious master suite along with three secondary bedrooms, a solarium, a private office space or den, and work-horse of a kitchen that flows straight into a spacious living area and formal dining room. With open, luxurious living spaces, energy-conscience features and spacious wooded homesites, the options at Westerleigh are not only beautiful but also efficient.

We hope to see you in our models during this year’s Parade of Homes. If you’d like more information on our Parade models, you can download a pdf of our 2012 Parade of Homes brochure here. As well, we would encourage you to contact the Sales Agent at any of the communities above for specific information on the plans offered there.

Richmond Bridal Showcase

Last Saturday, we were lucky enough to meet some fantastic brides to be at the Richmond Bridal Showcase. (And quite a few grooms to be as well, although generally speaking, they didn’t seem quite as enthusiastic about attending the event as the ladies did. Don’t worry, guys. We understand.)

Perhaps the luckiest bride to be of all was Gretchen Bell who is the winner of a free KitchenAid Cook for the Cure® Edition Artisan® Series Stand Mixer! Congratulations, Gretchen!

Thanks to everyone who was able to stop by the StyleCraft Homes booth during the event. If we can help you start your new married life in a StyleCraft Home, please let us know!

Olympic Fever—Updated, 8/15

Update, 8/15/2012
A big thank you to everyone who responded to our Olympic promotion. We received a tremendous amount of interest, which we can only assume means that you all loved the London Olympics as much as we did! Can’t wait until Rio in 2016!


So, who’s excited about the London Olympics? We certainly are! There’s an excitement from the Olympics that’s hard for any other sporting event to match, and a real pride in country that comes from cheering our athletes on to the gold medal.

This year, we thought we’d take our Olympic excitement a little further than we have in the past and offer a special promotion for new homebuyers who sign contracts before the Olympic Flame is extinguished during the Closing Ceremony. From now until August 12, 2012, those who mention the ad below are eligible to receive a home theater system package in their new home at no additional cost! This offer is good at every StyleCraft Homes community, and on every StyleCraft Homes floorplan.

Just think how great the winter games will look and sound in 2014! (And in the meantime, there’s pretty big football game scheduled in February.)

Enjoy The Games, everyone!
