Lancaster

A Bill Grant Homes Community

Lot 1

Lancaster is designed to flow seamlessly with the picturesque curvilinear lines of the arrival of Boxwood proper. The two story parapet and bayed master bedroom feature give the façade timeless maturity; the receded dining room, garden window, and bedroom overlook lend a playful air. Finely fitted mellow sandstone exterior block work gives Lancaster its overwhelming sense of permanence and approachability. Step through the stone entry portico and experience the warmth of the English Oak paneling in the entry Hall and Dining Room‌..


Devonshire

A Bill Grant Homes Community

Lot 2

Devonshire exhibits the very finest of English Georgian Classicism through its elegant proportions, symmetry and scale. The composition is highlighted by a staged wall progression which moves across the central body of the house and culminated in a finely scaled Doric Portico with gothic Fanlight transom. Hand rubbed brick coursing is set with a 1/8� thin set ivory mortar which pulls the exterior into sandstone appearance range and allows the eye to appreciate the balance and proportion of the exterior fenestration and banding. A richly developed Georgian cornice crowns the symmetrical main body and is strengthened to its fullest by the brick parapet wall and classically detailed central pediment with oval accent window.


Petworth

Tall French Doors reinforce the in-town lifestyle and social connectivity of the community. Baton shutters and 16 light French Casement windows open the second floor to lush, over-sized Flower Boxes.


Walden

A Bill Grant Homes Community

Lot 4

Occupying one of the most prominent lots within boxwood, Walden fronts graciously onto the Community Green.

A majestic center stair hall creates an overall sense of historical Georgian charm and restraint.

This area is further accentuated by the parapeted brick gable and gothic attic window. Once inside Avon, rooms open immediately through out with classic detailing and abundant light.


Downing Street

A Bill Grant Homes Community

A handsomely proportioned parapet wall tops the composition and is punctuated by a single fan lit dormer in the main roofline. The symmetry of the interior continues as you step inside.


St. Martins

A Bill Grant Homes Community
