LifeStyle Builders & Developers Unveils New Model Home Fresh & Exciting Design Stands Out from the Competition in Harpers Mill

Richmond, VA (PRWEB) August 14, 2008 -- LifeStyle Builders and Developers, Inc., a Richmond based homebuilder, proudly announces the grand opening of their new Chaucer model home in Harpers Mill, a sought-after new home community in Chesterfield County from the mid $300's.

The Chaucer's open and inviting floor plan is comfortable for intimate evenings with the family as well as entertaining friends and neighbors. Outside, a subtle mix of textures and materials coordinate to create the pleasing Craftsman architecture sought-after by today's homebuyers. And unlike many builders today, LifeStyle Builders has carried the Craftsman details inside as well, with such features as stained oak wainscoting in the foyer, a custom stair post design, a unique and elegant beamed ceiling in the dining room, and stained glass windows above built-in bookshelves in the family room. Mixed with the old world features reminiscent of the American Arts and Crafts era are the modern conveniences considered desirable in a new home, including a built-in "drop zone" as you enter the home from the garage, a gourmet kitchen, and luxurious owner's suite with zen-like spa bathroom.

"We are very proud of our new model home," said Lloyd Poe, owner of LifeStyle Builders and Developers. "We know that Craftsman architecture, with its clean lines and attention to detail, is very popular with homebuyers. Our design team took it one step further by bringing those sought-after Craftsman details inside the home as well. In our model you will find dozens of beautiful craftsman-style features admired in older historic homes blended effortlessly with the modern conveniences of today."

The Chaucer model home offers more than 3,300 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 3½ baths. The first floor's living space includes a formal living and dining room with butler's pantry for entertaining, a gourmet kitchen that is open to the family room with stacked stone fireplace and cedar mantle, and a vaulted sunroom with 3 walls of glass. An inviting screened-in porch and separate patio designed of stamped concrete extend the family's living space outdoors. A finished third floor, decorated as a teenager's retreat, features a rec room, loft office space, and a 5th bedroom with full bath.

LifeStyle Builders and Developers, Inc. is currently offering seven exciting floor plans in Harpers Mill, with prices starting at $367,990. These homes range from 2575 to over 3550 square feet, feature 3 to 5 bedrooms, expandable living areas, basements, and some first floor owner suite plans. Once a buyer has selected their preferred floor plan and homesite, the next step is a trip to LifeStyle's 2600 square foot Design Studio, where a professional Design Consultant will guide the homebuyer through the personalization process as they choose from hundreds of interior and exterior selections to create the home of their dreams. State-of-the-art displays and vignettes feature the latest design trends in cabinetry, flooring, lighting, faucets and finishes.

Harpers Mill is a new community in Chesterfield County, and is planned with a host of resort-style amenities such as an amphitheater, clubhouse, pools, tennis courts, soccer fields, and even on-site retail space. The new Winterpock elementary school, which opened in March 2008, is located within Harpers Mill. Children will attend other excellent Chesterfield County schools including Bailey Bridge Middle and Cosby High.
