The newest Daniel Wayne Homes model at the Horse Creek subdivision is the 2,700-square-foot (under air) “Palm Beach” model. The home offers a bit of the past in its interior design, because it utilizes wood from a 137-year-old Amish barn in Pennsylvania. Metal roofs and lap siding are also indicative of this model and other Daniel Wayne Homes.

“Although we have touches of an older style, we include modern features such as LED lighting, luxury floorings, spray foam insulation and ventless attics,” says Daniel Dodrill, president of Daniel Wayne Homes. What further enhances the appeal is a multigenerational design option, which is a big trend right now. “ e extra space a multigenerational plan allows is truly multi-purpose,” Dodrill explains.

“It can be a great space for college-aged children moving back home, older family members moving in, visitors coming for extended stays—and even people who are now working from home,” he adds. ere are four versions of the Palm Beach floor plan available, and all are entirely customizable to fit the homeowner’s preferences.
