Stop By Cothran Homes on the 2018 Parade of Homes Route
October 8, 2018
Do you enjoy touring new homes and seeing the latest in construction and home decor trends? You’ll have plenty of opportunities to peak and poke through new construction homes for two weekends in October. The 2018 Upstate Parade of Homes returns to the area for the first time in almost ten years! You can walk through dozens of new homes in Greenville, SC—and be sure to stop by Cothran Homes on the 2018 Parade of Homes route.We invite you to take a close look at our model at 4 Cromarty Lane in The Retreat, a new Cothran Homes community in Simpsonville, SC, just 20 minutes from Greenville. This single-level Newcastle model showcases the popular Craftsman style of architecture with a distinctive front porch entry that includes a stained, beadboard ceiling. The combination of James Hardie shake siding and ProVia manufactured stone present lasting beauty with very little maintenance.The 1,800-square-foot Newcastle offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The open floor plan is accentuated with 9-foot ceilings and large windows that amplify the spacious feeling here. All this open space gives you versatility in your decorating. Create a reading nook or homework station, or maybe a craft corner. In the living room, you can relax by the gas fireplace and enjoy the view of the finished patio.The gourmet kitchen provides plenty of room for cooking and storage. Cothran Homes outfitted the space with energy-efficient GE appliances, in the new slate finish that’s become a fast-growing trend in kitchen design. Quartz countertops and custom cabinetry add to the appeal of this upgraded kitchen, including the large center island..The owner’s suite is tucked in the rear corner of the home, set off from the main living area with a hallway entrance. We added height (and design interest) to the bedroom with the tray ceiling. We enhanced the oversized shower with a built-in bench, and, of course, incorporated dual vanities and a private water closet, plus an entrance to a walk-in closet with generous proportions.The two other bedrooms are set apart from the owner off the foyer. Both rooms are equally sized to avoid bickering about who gets which room! The front bedroom, with a view of the porch and yard, would also work as a home office.Everything about this Cothran Home says stylish comfort—or comfortable style. The space has been carefully thought out and designed for maximizing every square foot.Sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Greenville, the 2018 Upstate Parade of Homes takes place October 12-14 and 19-21. While you’re touring the area’s new homes, we invite you to stop by our other available homes for sale in The Retreat, as well as Cothran Homes’ other communities of single-family homes and townhomes in the Greenville region. Cothran Homes is a local Greenville homebuilder with a passion for what we do: designing and building high quality, energy-efficient, and affordable homes that fit the way you want to live.
