What's Going on with New Homes in Chatham County? Types of Floor Plans
Main Floor Master homes were the most popular floor plan layout selected by home builders for entries available for viewing during the Triangle Parade of Homes in Chatham County.
1. One Story Homes - 17% of Parade of Homes Entries in Chatham County
- Out of 30 Chatham County Parade of Homes entries, 3 were one story floor plans.
- Two of the plans had a second floor "bonus" or storage area, one did not.
- Unfortunately, two of the three entries were unable to be completed by their builder, and are unavailable for viewing.
2. Main Floor Masters - 57% of Parade of Homes Entries in Chatham County
- Of the 30 entries, 17 homes had a first floor master layout.
- First floor masters can provide the best of both worlds, especially if there is also a first floor guest bedroom. The footprint stays smaller and more affordable and the facade can be more interesting with the additional height to accomodate a few bedrooms and a bonus area on the second floor.
3. Two Story Homes - 33% of Parade of Homes Entries in Chatham County
- Ten homes featured in the Parade of Homes 2016 in Chatham County had the master bedroom on the second floor.
- Not only are two story homes more cost effective to build, but many parents of young children prefer to be close to the children's bedrooms. A second story master can also offer a greater feeling of privacy and even a better view.
