New Leaf Builders: A Partner in Placemaking at Nexton
Nexton, recently named best U.S. master-planned community by National Home Builders Association, is pleased to announce one of its homebuilders, New Leaf Builders, as a recipient of Newland's inaugural Robert B. McLeod Partners in Placemaking Award. Nexton's developer, Newland, actively owns, operates, and develops premier master-planned residential, commercial and urban mixed-use real estate across the U.S.
Innovation Scores High in Newland Communities
The Charleston-based team at New Leaf Builders was recognized by Newland for their homebuyer-first design of innovative courtyard homes that have widely appealed to first-time, multigenerational, and downsizing home buyers.
"The homebuilders at Nexton are thoughtfully selected to help bring to life the cornerstones of our community of wellness, diversity, and innovation through valuable regional market insight and novel home designs," said Nexton's Marketing Director Cassie Cataline. "We are honored to celebrate New Leaf Builders with this exciting recognition."
Courtyards Add Outdoor Living Space
Rooted in classical Roman architecture, the Domus was an urban villa featuring an open courtyard of peaceful gardens and pools used to host guests outdoors. The style allowed for entertaining while also adding in some privacy within ancient Greek cities. New Leaf Builders modernized the concept by giving each home in the Domus Collection a secluded courtyard and stylish atmosphere to provide a unique indoor-outdoor living experience.
The kitchens within the Domus Collection give an open feel and layout that extends through to the dining and living spaces. Adjacent to the living areas of the home are views and access of an inviting courtyard, lending residents both tranquility and style. "Today's homebuyer wants flexible spaces with seamless transitions from indoor to outdoor living," says Adam Baslow, co-founder of New Leaf Builders. "Each home in the Domus Collection at Nexton builds on this idea with private courtyard entrances that create a unique sense of arrival that can't be found anywhere else in the Charleston region."
Agent Glen Wilkes of New Leaf Builders sums up the unique characteristic features of the Domus Collection in three ways: a courtyard that is turnkey; an option for a detached garden shed, cabana, or casita; and the quality of the construction and open design. Our courtyard design maximizes the space down to every inch indoors and out. In the end, it is all about how homebuyers envision how they will live in the home. And honestly, people who view the model home 'get it' right away.”
Make Room for Front Porches
Available at Nexton's new neighborhood, Midtown, the Vicolo Series' Aneto, Cannella, Rosamarino, and Salvia home designs epitomize Nexton's front-porch lifestyle. Coveted double front porches are available on select elevations with fully attached two-car garages expertly tucked off the streetscape, plus an outbuilding that can be a simple garden shed or an entire detached casita.
