About Greensboro's Candace Ridge

The other day I stopped by at the newer model at Candice Ridge in Greensboro NC, right off I-40 on Youngs Mill Rd. When I was a kid I rode the school bus right by this area! The newer homes look impressive from the street, with pretty upscale elevations, complete with some craftsman elements. The thing that caught my eye first was the textured paint. To date I'd seen only one other builder use this in our area. Of course the staging was fantastic, reminding me of DR Horton's upscale Winston-Salem community models. I looked through four homes, noting the big owner's suites and great closets. Selections are easy and done on site with the seller's agent. I was also struck by the window placements, with many at corners, and a few at the landings of side facing stairs. Lots of light! The garages I saw were finished, albeit with some bare plywood still visible in the specs. Lots of nickle hardware- and one other unusual thing was the beveled laminate counters in kitchens- I hadn't seen this before- it was not rolled under, but finished with the backward 'S'. Must see. Anyway, this type of home isn't much to look at from the back, but the front elevations make up for it. Regent is the builder, and Candice Ridge is the subdivision. They are competing for sure, with plans starting around 120's for 1800 sq. ft. You can see them at www.regenthomesnc.com.
