With 1,246 square feet of living space, split-two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, The Linville, was designed for aging in place with an open floor plan. Built on a crawlspace with a large composite front deck and decorative window overhangs on the front gable and primary suite increase the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the home.

Inside, the home is designed with many high-end finishes and upgrades. A large, vaulted living room with trapezoid windows allows the home to be saturated with natural light creating a warm and inviting space that feels larger than life. Stained wooden beams add character to this craftsman style home. Painted North Point shaker cabinets, utility farmhouse sink, ample counter space, large eat-in style island, and pantry with pocket doors create a modern, high functioning kitchen for all your family gatherings.

Built for durability and energy efficiency, the home is built with 2x6 exterior walls, higher insulation values (R-21 in the walls and R-38 in the ceiling), double hung windows throughout the home, composite and PVC decking materials, on-site LVP flooring, ensuring long-term performance while maintaining a stylish aesthetic.

The Linville showcases how modular construction can deliver a custom designed, high-quality, and beautifully crafted home, demonstrating the flexibility and innovation of today’s modular building techniques. Utilizing the overall design, The Linville is expandable with multiple plug and play options including a third bedroom, cape, and loft layouts. Key features of this January spotlight include:

• Signature Vaulted Great Room: A massive integrated dormer that creates soaring interior ceilings and a dramatic exterior profile.

• Panoramic Trapezoid Windows: High-elevation glazing designed specifically to frame expansive natural landscapes and flood the living space with peripheral light.

• Versatile "View-Centric" Design: The vaulted dormer system is designed to be seamlessly added to various Ranch and Cape Cod floor plans, offering builders a high-end custom look on a standardized footprint.

• Custom-Friendly Interiors: From premium cabinetry to flexible layout options, the plan allows homeowners to personalize their retreat through the collaborative VBS and Excel design catalog.

• High-Efficiency Production: Engineered for rapid turnaround, the home is precision-built in the factory and can be ready for occupancy in as little as 6 to 12 weeks following delivery.

• Affordable Grandeur: By optimizing the construction of the vaulted components, the Linville delivers the "wow factor" of a site-built luxury home at a fraction of the traditional cost and timeline.

From its origins as a response to local market demand to its rapid on-site installation, The Linville showcases the best of modular flexibility. It is an ideal solution for those seeking a beautiful, durable, and cost-effective sanctuary that refuses to compromise on the view.
