Instead of simply admiring the majesty of a custom-crafted hearth and fireplace, you’ll be able to feel its warmth on your cheeks. Diorama design on a much larger scale, the Parade of Homes features the best of the best in Billings home design, staging and construction. Welcome.

We glean home design ideas from TV shows, magazines and Pinterest—concepts compiled and saved into a dusty file or deep within the recesses of the computer. These mediums get the creative bug buzzing, but nothing compares to a three-dimensional, touch-and-feel representation of these imaginings. Fantasy meets reality Enter: The Parade of Homes.

Yellowstone Basin Construction

YEL

5915 Ironwood Drive Something Old, Something New By Brenda Maas

Blending classic design with new-age edge yields a distinctive home

Age-old elements marry modern conveniences and finishes to create a consistent blend of eras in the Yellowstone Basin Construction home at 5915 Ironwood Dr. From the outside, the house has a touch of Brady Bunch. But step inside to quickly realize that housekeeper Alice has left the building, and “blending” is the only ‘70s factor left. Builder Jacob Brosovich brought back traditional yet mixed it with barn-style doors, reclaimed timbers and ageless subway tile to evoke a classic-meets-edgy vibe in this timeless home.

Home Highlights 1.

2. 3.

An in-home gym gives homeowners a “no excuse” policy. The porcelain soaker tub and raised dual sinks with rectangular, textured tile flooring gives the master bath timeless elegance. The alcove between the kitchen and the back patio provides the perfect spot to catch up on the news or even a few winks.

Ban Construction

5882 Autumnwood Modern Classic By Allyn Hulteng

With a contemporary take on classic styling, this well-appointed home marries luxe living with a comfortable, inviting vibe

Like fabulous fashion designers, great home designers understand that a single, well-placed design detail can transform an attractive space into an extraordinary place of style and beauty. Such is the case in this 2014 Parade home by Ban Construction. Located at 5882 Autumnwood in Ironwood Estates, Brian and Tana Ban melded their considerable years of design/build experience to create a home that effuses charm and comfort punctuated with surprising – and engaging – architectural elements.

Wells Built Homes 6148 Autumnwood Timeless Traditional By Allyn Hulteng

Inspired by classic East Coast architecture, this custom home exudes enduring grace and luxury

9 1.

Classically designed, this home features slate-blue siding and red brick detail reminiscent of homes along Cape Cod. The arched entry, supported by thick square pillars and recessed panels beneath the windows, also hints at East Coast architecture. The gracious entry opens to reveal a stately great room. Large floorto-ceiling windows bathe the bisque-colored walls and dark hardwood flooring in natural light. Occupying most of one wall is a gas fireplace framed in wide, polished wood and topped by a massive mantel with large dental molding. While the home exudes tradition, luxurious finishings coupled with thoughtful amenities makes this a warm and inviting environment.

Home Highlights 2. 1. 2. 3.

Crown accents and tray ceiling add interest to the master suite. Box-beam ceiling accents and attractive chandelier light fi xtures play up the home’s fourth wall. Opulent style melds with classic comfort in the home’s great room and kitchen.

Brown Builders

334 Feldspar Way Rustically Elegant By Brenda Maas

Expansive views and warm hospitality highlight this uniquely Montana home

Sometimes a project is so cohesive that it emanates a “no problem—this is easy to do” vibe. Brown Builders accomplished that in their eighth Parade home at 334 Feldspar Way in the Granite Park subdivision. The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath rambler fans out across a .75-acre lot, yet there is nothing ho-hum about this rancher. The entire home is a study in plush sophistication with comfortable tones of charcoal, chocolate and latte. Small details, like the triple-crown molding in the kitchen and solid knotty alder doors combine with classic elements like the linen-colored walls and hickory floors give the entire home that warm, come-sit-for-awhile feeling that Montanans love.

Home Highlights

1. 2. 3.

The main-floor master bedroom is topped with a tray ceiling to evoke a rich feeling. The home office catches the morning sun and can double as a main-floor bedroom. The lower level has ample space for entertaining, including a full bar.

Trails West Homes

5818 Mountain Front True Charmer By Brittany Cremer

Subtle touches, craftsman comfort come alive in delightful West End family home

Rod Wilson, builder/developer for Trails West Homes, has an eye for detail. “Our Parade home might not be the largest on the tour, but it’s full of subtle touches,” he said. It’s these nuanced details that distinguish the comfortable, three-bedroom family home located at 5818 Mountain Front in Billings’ growing Trails West subdivision. Amid windswept wheat fields and just minutes from the mall, this home features both Eastern influences and rustic charm. The property is beautifully landscaped and features an automatic sprinkler system and maintenance-free fencing. The family-friendly, cozy neighborhood also offers a ½-mile walking path and well-manicured boulevards, inviting homeowners to get out and breathe in the sweet, fresh West End air.

Classic Design Homes

5917 Foxtail Lane Sophisticated Simplicity By Brenda Maas

All the basics, dressed up for the town For nearly a decade, Classic Design Homes has kept the home building process simple yet added the extra elements that help homeowners of all budgets realize their own American Dream. This year’s featured home, Classic Design Homes ninth, is located at 5917 Foxtail Lane on Billings’ burgeoning far West End. The entire home, inside and out, is a perfect demonstration of how unlikely earth-tones can truly meld. Caramel marries charcoal; buttery cream warms cool greys; and gold livens up barely-black tones. Yet, certain features, like the über-modern light fixtures and brushed nickel hardware, keep the home from being too neutral.

Home Highlights

2. 3.

The transom window in the dining area is subtly echoed through the house. The chic dining table light fi xture continues the airy feeling. The built-in fire pit is a feature that will see use all four seasons. Four vertical windows gather natural light and punctuate the versatility of the master bedroom.

Thompson Homes

4313 Trotter Lane Town and Country By Brittany Cremer

Wheat-lined fields, wrap-around porch and customized touches excite in this charming home just minutes from Billings Imagine it. The warm rush of sun splashing your face while sipping your morning coffee on your wrap-around porch—a cup of Folgers in one hand, the paper in the other and pure, unabashed contentment washing over you. Located at 4313 Trotter Lane in the Heights’ growing Antelope Hills subdivision, guests will be immediately drawn to the beautiful expanse of the property and picturesque views. The town-and-country charm of this wonderful gem is further punctuated by the fact that the property is lined to the east by federal land, so homeowners won’t have to fret about anyone moving in to obstruct their view.

Cougar Construction

6275 Canyonwoods Dr. Epic Estate By Allyn Hulteng

Designed for entertaining, this extraordinary estate boasts a gracious open floor plan that connects seamlessly to a stunning outdoor living space Sam Nelson, owner of Cougar Construction, understands fully the attraction to outdoor living. Nelson’s 2014 Parade entry located at 6275 Canyonwoods Dr. in Ironwood Estates is the epitome of a home designed for four-season living and entertaining. From the curb, the home elicits a warm, welcoming aesthetic. Three substantial rock-based columns frame the covered front porch – a perfect place to sit and take in expansive views that stretch to the Pryor Mountains and beyond. Gracious and inviting, this elegant estate will delight visitors with its sophisticated style and smart home features.

Every little princess would find something magical in this guest room. Terra-cotta-colored backsplash, white cabinets and granite counters combine to form an elegant and memorable kitchen. The home’s open floor plan makes entertaining a cinch, as the great room subtly blends with the kitchen.

Rimrock Builders

Time taken to create high-quality home with artful, soft-touch design Nestled amid the West End’s growing Falcon Ridge subdivision is a contemporary-chic sanctuary crafted by Rimrock Builders. Muted tones of taupe, grey and charcoal paint the exterior of the home and are also mirrored inside. A cultured stone-lined walkway welcomes guests to the front door. Inside, the expansive foot floor plan features five bedrooms—three upstairs and two downstairs. One of the bedrooms upstairs—just adjacent the front entry—will be earmarked for a home office. And what the home provides in function it does not compromise on in style. Clean lines, juxtaposed perfectly against classic comfort, creates an appealing house just cozy enough to call home.

Home Highlights

The Picard Company

6301 Ridge Stone Dr. N. Role Model By Brenda Maas

Bright spaces, smart layout and fine finishes highlight this elegant home

The 2014 Parade of Homes will see the fifth Picard-influenced house, including the 2007 People’s Choice Award-winner. This year’s entry, located at 6301 Ridge Stone Drive North in the Ironwood Development, aptly reflects two decades of experience. The 2,668-square-foot home features four bedrooms and three baths over two levels. Yet, it is the attention to detail that punches up the open layout. Warm colors of sand, honey and charcoal throughout make the home warm yet contemporary while the creamy trim accents the urban putty walls and keeps the color palette strikingly rich in this cleverly-crafted West End home.

Home Highlights

1. 2. 3.

Natural light permeates the entire home via larger-than-average windows, anchored by the window in the dining area. Custom tile that frames the mirror and runs vertically in the walk-in shower add that extra touch of elegance in the master bath. The lower level offers two spacious bedrooms with walk-in, lit closets.

Image Builders

2315 Stone Creek Tr ail Enter Exquisite By Brittany Cremer

Sprawling craftsman features open, airy floor plan with modern twists Building an image requires taste, time, and above all—personal flair. Greg Schmidt and Ty Lantis, owners of Image Builders in Billings, approach every project with the notion that each home—like its homeowner—is unique. Plans are enhanced and customized to meet the needs of the inhabitants, and no two builds are ever the same. Putting the “extra” in to extraordinary is their specialty, and this mantra rings true in this year’s Parade home located at 2315 Stone Creek Trail. Situated in Billings’ burgeoning River Rock subdivision in Billings’ West End, this home exudes style, comfort and creativity.

Home Highlights

2. 1. 2. 3.

Doubling as a piece of art, the hand-textured terra-cotta-colored wall to the left of the entry continues outdoors. The home’s uber-efficient mud room doubles as the laundry room and is connected to the home’s main bathroom. Kick back and relax in the basement home theater—accented by rustic wood panels and adjacent wet bar and wine cooler.

McCall Homes

1716 Lone Pine Drive Home Built with Hope By Brenda Maas

Chic, warm and functional family home defines the greatness of giving The McCall homes at Josephine Crossing traditionally emphasize the importance of creating places to gather, play and know neighbors. This year’s McCall home, their 12th Parade house, takes the word “community” a step—or, rather a giant leap—further. Built as a “Homes for Hope International” fundraiser, the profits from the sale of this house will seed microfinance ventures across the globe—all from Billings. While each McCall home has certain elements that enhance sustainability—extra energy efficiency; a passive and active side within a close-knit community; front porch entrances instead of massive “garagescapes”—this house has many surprise elements that give that extra kick.

Home Highlights

2. 1. 2. 3.

The frosted-glass, inset doors in the front entry are carried throughout the house, including the kitchen and master suite. In lieu of a warren of halls, the four upstairs bedrooms stem off a cozy, second-floor family space. One of three additional bedrooms, this guest room makes a perfect nursery or home office.

Ultimate Fishing Lodge By Brittany Cremer

Rustic Red Lodge patio home perfect for everyday living or weekend getaways This wonderful gem just off the beaten path doubles as the perfect cottage getaway or full-time residence. Imagine, for a moment, the rush of tranquility enveloping the senses by spending a lazy afternoon reading under the home’s covered patio with the gurgling sound of Rock Creek in the background. Or, as the weather turns crisp, a warm soak in a hot tub just steps away from the rushing creek—the perfect remedy to cold, achy muscles after a day at Red Lodge Mountain. Begging your attention, this picturesque gem epitomizes rustic charm.

Home Highlights 1. 2. 3.

A cozy dining nook just off the entrance is perfect for weekday meals or weekend entertaining. Take a load off and warm your toes in front of the rustic stone fireplace in the home’s great room. A two-tiered granite island and attractive maple cabinetry anchor the home’s well-appointed kitchen.

Mac Leffler Construction

MAG

3137 Peregrine Lane Distinctively Done By Brenda Maas

Solid construction, signature elements meld to create one-of-a-kind home.

When you enter a Mac Leffler Construction home, you are assured of two things: 1) You will see more than 18 years of construction experience, and 2) You will think, “Holy cow! Did he really make that and somehow incorporate it into that house?” This year’s house boasts more of Leffler’s signature elements, plus a few surprises. Considering the plethora of materials—like natural Elk River stone, fir timbers, hand-troweld plaster, metal straps and corrugated steel—the house should look like a kindergartener’s science experiment, yet Leffler pulls it together with a unique cohesiveness that intrigues.

Home Highlights 1. 2.

Leffler incorporated fir timbers with metal straps into the home’s design, especially prominent in the dining area. Leffler ties the stainless steel appliances to the island with corrugated steel facing on the island; the corner posts echo the post-andbeam construction of the dining space. With a fun cubby-hole, created by the empty space under the stairs, the lower level bedroom makes the perfect kid retreat.

Jeff Kreitzberg Homes

1423 Benjamin Boulevard Contempo-Casual By Brittany Cremer

Expansive views, craftsman touches highlight this Heights haven Jeff Kreitzberg’s home at 1423 Benjamin Boulevard in the Heights High Sierra subdivision is all about the details. A wall of windows and open-air great room invites guests inside. A mud room to the left makes for easy storage of book bags and muddy boots. Further on, the living area spills into the smartly-appointed kitchen, which features a tiered quartz countertop in attractive salt-and-pepper pattern. “This home might not be the most ostentatious on the tour, but it’s a solid, well-built home that people can afford and definitely see themselves in,” Kreitzberg said.

Home Highlights 1. 2.

This attractive curio nook separating the upstairs and downstairs is the perfect spot for your favorite vase or family photo. Flow melds with function in the home’s open floor plan. The living room, kitchen and dining area are loosely connected and feature expansive views to the north. His-and-hers sinks and dual vanity highlights the home’s master bath.
