Keely Burd, our local new home expert, returns to Summerville where Carnes Crossroads is drawing a lot of attention from potential homebuyers. The community recently introduced two new model homes—the Hayden and Rutledge by Lennar. Both offer unique features, from contemporary elegance to classic Southern charm, making them a compelling choice for those seeking a fresh start in this growing neighborhood.
The Hayden Model
Part of Lennar’s Arbor Collection, the
Hayden is crafted for those who value a clean, sophisticated aesthetic, blending elegance with everyday comfort. This four bedroom, 2.5 bath home exudes a welcoming charm, evident in every detail—from the crown molding that adds a touch of formality to the warmth of oak stair treads. With its spacious layout and thoughtful design elements, the Hayden is tailored to modern lifestyles, where luxury and functionality go hand in hand.
On the main level, the primary suite is a retreat of its own, featuring a frameless glass shower with a built-in bench and rain showerhead, enhancing the spa-like experience. The attached luxurious bath elevates daily routines, offering a serene escape within the home. Just steps away, the gourmet kitchen is designed to impress, outfitted with an oversized quartz countertop island that serves as both a functional workspace and a focal point for gatherings. Gas appliances, ample cabinetry, and sleek finishes make it a true entertainer’s dream, providing the ideal setting for hosting friends and family.
The home’s architectural details, including 10-foot ceilings on the main level and 9-foot ceilings upstairs, create a spacious atmosphere that fills with natural light. This airy feel is complemented by meticulously crafted details, such as paneled doors and detailed casings around door frames and windows. A study on the main floor, accessible through double French doors, provides a quiet space for work or relaxation, with dark walls and modern lighting that bring a trendy, intimate vibe.
Beyond its interior allure, the Hayden also caters to outdoor living with a covered front porch, perfect for morning coffee or evening conversations. An attached two-car garage adds convenience, while the spacious secondary bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility for family members or guests.
Priced from the $500,000s, this 2,643-square-foot home is a harmonious blend of style and practicality, inviting residents to enjoy the best of both worlds in a thoughtfully designed space.
The Rutledge Model
For those drawn to traditional Charleston charm, the
Rutledge from Lennar's Row Series offers a graceful blend of classic appeal and modern sophistication. This four bedroom home captures the essence of Southern elegance, greeting residents with a formal entryway that flows seamlessly into a well-designed main level, where every detail speaks to thoughtful craftsmanship.
With 10-foot ceilings on the main floor, the Rutledge feels open and inviting, while luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring adds both style and resilience. The main level primary suite is a private retreat, complete with an oversized shower and elegant finishes, creating a luxurious escape within the home.
A spacious second story loft offers versatile living space, adaptable as a family room, home office, or play area, providing ample room for growth and personalization. A nursery features fun, contemporary wallpaper, contemporary lighting, and floating shelves, adding a unique, personalized touch that enhances the home’s charm.
One of the Rutledge's standout features though is the second-story wrap-around porch. A nod to Charleston’s architectural heritage, it is an ideal spot to enjoy relaxing evenings or weekend gatherings. The Hardiplank siding not only enhances the home’s aesthetic appeal but also provides durability, ensuring a fresh look for years to come.
Every room in the Rutledge is infused with elements of luxury and Southern charm, making it an ideal choice for families or individuals who appreciate the harmony of historic style and contemporary convenience. For those seeking both elegance and comfort, the Rutledge delivers.
