Homes by Brill is honored to be the winner of the 2016 People’s Choice Award at this year’s Hubbell Living Home Show. The homes picked to be in this year’s show were selected to showcase a wide range of layout and design options from nine of the best Des Moines home builders, offering choices ranging from one-story ranch designs to multi-level homes with over 2,500 square feet of living space.
Homes by Brill’s Award-Winning Home
Homes by Brill’s People’s Choice Award-winning model home is a beautiful walkout ranch-style home with a prairie view. Situated on a quarter-acre cul-de-sac lot, it features 3,345 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms as well as a three-car garage and many upgrades to the flooring, lighting, cabinets and fixtures, all professionally designed and selected. The home backs up to property already dedicated to a future elementary school, ensuring that no future homes will abut the back yard.
The open floor plan features a tray ceiling and stone fireplace in the family room, hardwood floors, and many additional wood feature details throughout the home. The kitchen includes granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and tile backsplashes, and a pantry for extra storage. The dining room looks out to a covered deck. The main-level master bedroom has a tray ceiling, custom tiled shower, and spacious walk-in closet with sliding farmhouse door. Other main level conveniences include a laundry room and boot bench off the garage. The walkout lower level features a bar area, open family room with fireplace, and plenty of storage.
Hubbell Living Home Show Introduces New Johnston Community
Besides the gorgeous custom homes, this year’s Hubbell Living Home Show also showed off the Conservation Community of Crosshaven in Johnston, Iowa. Crosshaven’s homes nestle among rolling hills, native prairies, walking and biking trails, and wide-open public spaces. The community emphasizes sustainability, nature, and habitat preservation – which not only helps the environment but also contributes to a beautiful, natural-looking neighborhood.
Best of all, the pastoral feeling doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice convenience. Crosshaven has easy access to Interstates 80 and 35 as well as shopping and entertainment in Johnston and the nearby town of Grimes. The city of Johnston, located just northwest of Des Moines, has seen almost 100% growth since 2000, with a current population of more than 17,000. The area boasts an extensive network of parks and trails, recreational facilities, new business development, and excellent schools. Other community attractions include the Hyperion Field Club, Dewey Park, Saylorville Lake, Iowa Gold Star Military Museum, Simpson Barn, and Johnston Green Days.
The Hubbell Living Home Show took place in a neighborhood off NW 100th Street and north of NW 70th Avenue. Click HERE for a map of the neighborhood showing all nine homes.
