Patterson Glen: Historic Charm, Carefree Lifestyle

July 29, 2011 - PRLog -- DURHAM, NC – Love the idea of a bungalow-style home without time-consuming upkeep? If your answer is yes, you’re in luck… Southwest Durham’s Patterson Glen presents a beautiful union of yesteryear’s charm with today’s lifestyles. Located off Southwest Durham Drive, one mile from the I-40/15-501 intersection and a half mile to restaurants and shopping, Patterson Glen features Craftsman-style townhomes of 1,605 to 2,113 square feet, priced from $265,000. Read on to learn how location, quality construction, and 1940s allure have combined with an exciting lifestyle choice, resulting in a very special community.

“Patterson Glen is perfect for people who appreciate great architecture and the freedom of low maintenance,” says Coldwell Banker Advantage New Homes Builder Representative Randi Edmiston. “These homes aren’t ‘McMansions’ – They’re stunning townhomes loaded with great attention to detail. In my experience, most people today love the idea of living in a well-appointed home, but really don’t want the square footage – They just don’t have the time or desire to be a slave to cleaning and upkeep. I like to call Patterson Glen a community of ‘my time’ homes… They’re homes for those who want to enjoy life to the fullest in a beautiful environment, without maintenance worries. Busy young professionals, retirees, and those in between find a haven for a comfortable lifestyle at Patterson Glen. Our designs have been thoughtfully planned, with plenty of room for living and entertaining; however, no space is wasted.  Homeowners love our private, enclosed courtyards, which give them the ability to garden and spend time outdoors, without the maintenance of a huge lawn. Patterson Glen is a reflection of a trend towards simplicity… Wonderful appointments combined with solid construction in a ‘jewel box’ style. I invite you to come and see what I’m talking about… Patterson Glen is the move that makes perfect sense.”

In collaboration with New City Design, B. Wallace Design & Construction President Britney Wallace designed the Patterson Glen plans to precise specifications. According to Britney, one of her primary goals in creating Patterson Glen was to provide high end features in compact-sized homes. “I wanted to build low maintenance bungalow-style townhomes filled with details and conveniences, yet without unnecessary space,” says Britney. “I’m happy to say they’ve been well received. The concepts of Susan Susanka, author of The Not So Big House books, have always made a lot of sense to me. I incorporated some of those ideas into the plans. The result is a neighborhood of well-appointed townhomes that make Patterson Glen a wonderful place to live, now and for decades to come. The fun part has been to work side-by-side with each buyer to create homes that are both charming and distinctive.”

Envision features such as “rocking chair” front porches with ceiling fans, gleaming onsite-finished hardwood floors, a pot-filler faucet over the stove, and luxurious bathrooms. All of this and a whole lot more await you at Patterson Glen.

“I have nothing but good things to say about Patterson Glen,” says home owner Craig Johnson. “When I walked into the model home with my Realtor®, my initial response was emotional… I just fell in love with the architecture. I researched the construction of these homes and was pleased to consistently find that it was extraordinary. In fact, the inspector said in his report prior to my move-in that he couldn’t find anything wrong. Randi and Britney were very helpful throughout the entire process, quickly answering any questions that came up on my part. In a time when there are so many inferior, disappointing products out there, I’m very pleased to learn that quality construction is still available. I couldn’t be happier with my home.”

Real estate professionals are impressed with Patterson Glen as well. “I’d driven by Patterson Glen many times and was curious about them, probably because they reminded me of the Fan area in my hometown of Richmond,” says Springtree Realty Broker Jay Zenner. “The Fan is block after block of early 20th century townhomes usually right on the street…most of them elegant but not too large. The Craftsman style of Patterson Glen is rich and warm…comforting even...easy to fall in love with. It turns out they’re pretty practical too. If you like nice fixtures and finishes, they can be hard to find in smaller homes that are sized for young couples or empty nesters. Britney Wallace has a great sense of design and what this market niche needs.”

“Location, location, location” is yet another benefit of the Patterson Glen lifestyle. In addition to the fabulous architectural and construction features of the community, Patterson Glen is 5 miles to The Streets at Southpoint, 5.5 miles to UNC, 6.5 miles to Duke, and 7 miles to RTP.

So what are you waiting for? With construction 75% complete, opportunities at Patterson Glen won’t be around for long. Take Randi up on her invitation and visit Patterson Glen today... You might just find that this community of nostalgic appeal and modern conveniences is the perfect choice for your next home!
