Between the views outside and the textures inside, it's hard to even describe McGraw — until you get to the rooftop," according to interior designer Lydia Huffman of LH Design. "It's unbelievable."
With an array of Built Green and Energy Star certified features, McGraw offers "unstoppable views, and modern design and finishes" so "phenomenal" that Howland believes homebuyers are going to be surprised to learn that pricing starts in the $500,000s.
Inspired by the lake's glassy finish on a serene summer morning and the way its surface sparkles under annual Fourth of July fireworks,
Huffman has worked hand-in-hand with Howland Homes to integrate evocative interior textures. "McGraw is so unique in every way that I wanted to reflect the natural surroundings," she says.
That's why Howland Homes introduces chestnut-colored Teragren Strand bamboo flooring and rich, ebony-colored cabinets with high-end silver-edge banding and Euro-style pulls in the kitchen.
Just as striking: the unique combination of stainless and polished and buffed concrete countertops on the extended kitchen islands, "which are so exceptional," says Huffman, "you have to get close just to see that it's concrete."
Each home also features "truly high-end plumbing and lighting," says Huffman. "In the kitchen, the rail lighting system runs the entire length of the island.
The way the lighting bounces off the stainless steel Jenn-Air appliances, textured glass backsplash and the polished concrete is absolutely amazing."
