MARTINSVILLE, Va., Feb. 2, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Nationwide Custom Homes, the leader in system building in the South, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, will be unveiling a 4,568 square foot custom home at the National Association of Home Builders' International Builders' Show(r) (IBS) in Orlando, Florida on February 7th, 2007. Held at the Orange County Convention Center from February 7-10, IBS is the largest light construction show in the world, with over 110,000 attendees and 1.5 million square feet of exhibition space.
Designed specifically to meet the needs of the "Successful Baby Boomer", this home impeccably blends traditional craftsman styling with the latest technological conveniences and the highest level of detailing and custom features available from premier suppliers. "This home reflects today's upscale lifestyle with a speed and quality of construction that you cannot get in a site-built home," says Margie Lewis-Wright, Director of Design with Palm Harbor Homes, the parent company of Nationwide Custom Homes.
Built to 80% completion in production facilities in Martinsville, Virginia, the home was finished onsite at the Orlando convention center in only 18 days. "The home was delivered in ten sections," says Donald Aheron, Engineering Manager for Nationwide, "This five bedroom, five bath custom home has a room for everyday activities from work spaces to play spaces, including a billiards room, a game room and a home office."
In keeping with the upscale, active-yet-aging consumer, the home features a seamless partnership of luxury and functionality. The kitchen was designed with La Viatera quartz countertops with undermount bowls, Felicity single handle faucets and an island bar with Alpine Pro Fit ledgestone. The attention to detail is evident in the wider hallways and doors and more clearance in baths and kitchens including microwaves and ovens lower to the floor.
The home is considered to be maintenance free (thanks to superior exterior finishes), allowing owners more time to enjoy retirement and other activities. Large walk-in showers, closets with custom shelving, higher toilets, energy efficiency (lower living cost), whirlpool baths, and country club-like amenities (including a coffee bar in the master bedroom) are just a few of the exceptional features in this Nationwide home.
At the end of the International Builders' Show, this showcase home will be sold to one of Nationwide's authorized builders.
