Keely Burd, your local new home construction expert, is back at Nexton, exploring two of New Leaf Builders’ latest model homes: the Aneto model from the Domus series and the Wake model from the Piedmont series.
As a boutique production builder, New Leaf Builders combines the personalized touch of a custom homebuilder with the efficiency of a production builder. Their thoughtfully designed homes strike a perfect balance between luxury and functionality, featuring high-end finishes, innovative layouts, and quality craftsmanship. With a focus on creating distinctive living spaces tailored to modern lifestyles, New Leaf Builders delivers homes that are as stylish as they are practical.
The Aneto Model: Spacious, Luxurious, and Designed for Comfort
Stepping into the Aneto model from the Domus series, you’re greeted by a formal entry with soaring 10-foot ceilings that flood the space with natural light. A private home office with elegant French doors is perfect for today’s work-from-home lifestyle.
One of the standout features is its main level primary suite, offering convenience and style. Transom windows provide natural light while maintaining privacy, and the suite includes direct access to a covered courtyard. A unique perk is the additional stacked washer and dryer within the primary bedroom closet, eliminating the hassle of carrying laundry upstairs. The spa-like primary bathroom features dual vanities, a sleek standalone tub, and a separate water closet. But what truly sets this space apart is the zero-entry shower, an accessible design with an oversized rainfall showerhead for an ultra-luxurious experience.
Moving into the heart of the home, the living and kitchen areas impress with vaulted, beamed ceilings, a natural gas fireplace, and expansive windows for an airy, sunlit ambiance. The gourmet kitchen showcases an apron-front sink, high-end natural gas stove, and a delightful modern tile backsplash. Custom cabinetry extends nearly to the ceiling, complemented by a spacious walk-in pantry. A built-in wet bar further enhances the entertaining potential of this home.
The oversized courtyard is a defining feature of New Leaf Builders’ designs, providing a versatile outdoor space complete with a covered area and a fire pit—ideal for year-round enjoyment.
Enhancing its appeal, this model includes an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), a rare offering among builders—one that New Leaf is among the few to provide. Here, the ADU takes the form of a cabana, designed as a single open-concept space with a kitchen, living area, and bath. This feature presents an incredible opportunity to expand living space and accommodate a variety of buyer needs. New Leaf offers a casita option as well, which provides a fully separate bedroom and approximately 100 additional square feet.
On the second floor, the Aneto offers a spacious layout with two additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a versatile flex space that can serve as a family room, study, or entertainment area. A covered porch extends the living space outdoors, providing a perfect spot to relax, while a second laundry room adds extra convenience.

Upstairs, you’ll find a well-appointed second floor. The Wake model makes the most of its 1,973 square feet with a second-floor laundry room, two guest bedrooms which share a stylish hall bath featuring contemporary chevron-patterned tile.
