Emineth Custom Homes 4230 Woodgrove Contemporary Couture By Allyn Hulteng

Crisp and contemporary, this refined residence eschews the traditional mountain home look in favor of a sleek, modern aesthetic

Gray tones and granite. Subway tile and stainless steel. If Shane Emineth’s design board for his 2014 Parade home sounds cold and sterile, you’re in for a stunning surprise. Located at 4230Woodgrove Dr., this modern manse boldly embraces a rich palette of neutral grays accented with heavy cream, taupe and charcoal. Together, the colors evoke a warm and inviting vibe – perfect for hosting an elegant gathering or simply nestling in front of the fireplace with a good book. Built for comfort, the home’s contemporary styling coupled with surprising design details will delight every visitor.

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.

Extend your entertainment space to the great outdoors. Natural gas is the right choice. Do it in style with a fire pit, patio heater, fireplace or a grill fueled by reliable, convenient natural gas. A natural gas grill lets you avoid messy charcoal and empty propane tanks. And there’s no reason to end the fun when the sun goes down: You can warm up your outdoor space quickly and easily with a natural gas patio heater or fireplace.

The oversized front door with twin side-lights and metal trim creates an impressive entry into this fourbedroom, three-and-a-half bath rambler. Centered in a pivotal position between the public and private areas of the home, the living room will factor into all household activity. The dining area, strategically placed between the kitchen and the immense covered patio, fills with natural light from three sides of windows.

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. 1. 2. 3.

A transom over the vanity mirror allows light into the master closet from the master bath while a towel warmer added an extra-special touch. Classic Design Homes add Special details such as fullfinished closets in the master suite. This kitchen truly functions as the heart of the home, anchored by a central island and delineated by the tray ceiling. Maple cabinets, stained gold and glazed with black complement the kitchen with a rustic-yet-sophisticated vibe.

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 floor-to-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.

A downstairs fridge and sink means never having to run upstairs for a soda or snack. Anchored by a cozy fireplace, the home’s downstairs is the perfect place to snuggle up with a good book. Beautifully-accented with detailed tile work, the home’s master bath features a luxurious shower.

Yellowstone Basin Construction

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.

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 1. 2.

A bright pass-through loosely connects the home office with the living area. Crème-colored cabinetry is perfectly juxtaposed by the rich, onyx-colored counters in the home’s kitchen. Contemporary pendant lighting evokes an almost Edisonian vibe. Gold embossed fi xtures, vessel sinks and oversized soaking tub add an element of sophisticated luxury to the home’s master bath.

Mac Leffler Construction

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.

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 bed-

rooms 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

2. 1.

The U-shaped kitchen functions fully with an efficient design, including a corner pantry, stainless steel appliances and six-by-four-foot center island. Nine-foot tray ceilings plus the over-sized window keep the master bedroom bright, airy and spacious. The tile and sandy color scheme from the kitchen continues in the adjacent family room fireplace, subtly tying the spaces together.

Rimrock Builders 3116 Peregrine Lane Classy Country-politan

By Brittany Cremer

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 1. 2. 3.

Slate gray accent wall and tray ceiling add extra texture and pizazz to the home’s master suite. The dining area features patio access to the home’s spacious backyard. Truly something to celebrate, the home’s custom-crafted wet bar features a wine cooler, microwave and ample space to entertain guests.

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 micro-

finance 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 1. 2.

The hall-style back entry creates the ideal clutter corral with a cutout to the kitchen. Open to the kitchen and living room, the dining room lies just inside the patio space. The multiglobe light fi xture keeps the vibe light and airy. An efficient L-shaped layout and Shaker-style cabinets keep the kitchen sleek.
