The Durham

Berkeley Building Co. introduced The Village at Sutherland Farm as its solution to the rising need for affordable housing in its market. Smaller lot footprints required artfully designed floorplans that efficiently utilized every square foot, while still providing the high-end, big-living feel synonymous with the builder’s brand. Open living, elevated ceiling heights, and innovative spaces were integrated to meet the lifestyle needs of empty nesters and millennials alike. With a multigenerational buyer profile in mind, a mix of single level, master-on-main and two-story home offerings were showcased in this new home community.

Equally important to the plan design was the quality of interior finishes and a desire to meet the ever-growing list of home amenities important to today’s buyer. On-trend finish package offerings, energy efficiency for long-term affordability, and the incorporation of thoughtful plan amenities were paramount to the success of this project. The Durham is a master-on-main plan with a built-in home management center that serves as a den/workspace, a charming  hidden door  panel in the wainscoting wall to access under-stair storage, a custom-built reading nook at the upstairs landing, an open stair railing, and popular shiplap detailing.
