Gone are the days of "cookie-cutter" homes in new communities where the sameness of each home leaves a less than memorable impression. When you drive through a new neighborhood today, each home should have a distinct and pleasing look that makes the eye linger in appreciation - if just for a second. We call this "curb appeal" and it's very important to us at Medallion Home , as we design award-winning homes and neighborhoods that look and feel amazing to live in.
You know great curb appeal when you see it; the house looks balanced, interesting, and well-kept. A nice-looking exterior ad landscaping reflect positively on the owners, indicating that they take pride in their property. Plus, homes with great curb appeal sell for about 7% more than similar houses with drab exteriors. Overall, high curb appeal makes a community a beautiful place to live - who doesn't want that?
There are a few secrets to great curb appeal though. In this article, we'll highlight three of the ways Medallion Home incorporates curb appeal into every single home we build.
Thoughtful Window Placements
Windows are the "eyes" of the home. They are what command the most attention when someone gazes at a home. They are also a critical part of letting in natural light to brighten the interior. The windows on the front of our homes are thoughtfully chosen and places to complement the exterior style, design, and aesthetic. They make the home pleasing to look at. At the back of the home, where the largest living area typically is, our largest windows let in so much natural light. Window placement is a crucial component in both the curb appeal and functionality of a home.
Balance & Proportion
Proportions are incredibly important to the exterior of a home, creating a "balanced" look. Each exterior element serves a purpose to complement the other architectural elements of the home. Features such as roof masses (gables vs. hips), texture types and locations (sliding, stucco, and stone), window placement and sizing, and corbel and beam detailing all play a part in creating an ideal exterior aesthetic.
Landscaping Design
Your landscape is an extension of your home's distinctive personality. Our experts combine the ideal landscaping design and plant choices for the home, the community, and our unique Floridian environment. Your front yard is beautiful from the start and over time, it will mature to add even more curb appeal to your home.
