EGSTOLTZFUS HOMES: Building or remodeling? EGStoltzfus can inspire – LancasterOnline

Many of those who tour the two Parade of Homes entries by EGStoltzfus in Southern Village wont be looking to move to the Lancaster Township neighborhood.

In fact, they may not want to move at all.

And that suits EGStoltzfus just fine, because the Parade is about far more than just selling those homes, says Bill Patrick, director of custom homes and remodeling/senior designer for EGStoltzfus.

Its also about showing people how they can enhance the beauty and functionality of their living space.

We like to call the Parade an invitation to inspiration, Patrick says. Visitors can explore homes on the Parade tour and see the latest in new home features and design trends. They visit the Parade looking for ideas they can put into their own home.

That could be an existing home or a home they want to create from the ground up sometime in the future.

Thats where EGStoltzfus comes in. In addition to their neighborhood communities like Southern Village, the firm also has a custom home division and a remodeling and additions division, enabling them to bring your inspiration to life wherever and however your heart desires.

The design-build firm has completed over 2,000 projects in Lancaster and surrounding counties, from small-scale projects to large remodel plans and custom home design and construction. This year alone, EGStoltzfus is in the process of bringing three custom homes from concept to completion on client-owned lots in Lancaster County.

Whether its a remodeling project, a custom home or a home in one of their neighborhood communities, EGStoltzfus creates a personal experience for the homeowner.

We really like to collaborate with our clients, Patrick says. Its the best way to translate their desires and their inspiration into a real space that works best for them on many levels for their neighborhood, their lifestyle and their budget.

These days, that inspiration can come from many sources, including popular websites like Pinterest and Houzz. EGStoltzfus designer/project manager Adam Coe says he finds it challenging and fun to work with ideas that clients have pulled from the web, whether its a pallet wall, a unique built-in or a certain kind of hardware.

Well work together with the homeowner and come up with a design that best incorporates these elements into their home, giving it a unique style and making it truly their own, he says.

Of course, for the best design ideas and the latest trends, theres nothing like seeing inspiration on display in an actual home. At Southern Village, a quiet neighborhood with easy access to routes 30 and 283, Parade visitors can tour a carriage home, at 105 Goldenfield Drive, and a new single-family home, at 245 Pilgrim Drive. Single-family homes were introduced to the neighborhood this year during a grand re-opening in April.

Single-family homes at Southern Village are available in six new floor plans with two- and three-bedroom options, starting in the mid-$200s. Carriage homes offer one- and two-floor living options and start in the upper $100s.

The homes give Parade-goers a good sense of scale, Patrick says, and they can experience first-hand how traffic flows in a newer, more open-space floor plan.

Open floor plans are just one of the trends to watch. Also popular are kitchen pantries, drop zones near the garage, lots of windows and creative outdoor living spaces.

Those trends and more are on display not only in the Parade homes, but also in five other EGStoltzfus neighborhoods in Lancaster County, including the popular Landis Farm in East Hempfield Township. EGStoltzfus also has communities in York, Dauphin, Cumberland and Lebanon counties.

Visitors can drop by any EGStoltzfus model home throughout the year for home remodeling or design inspiration, whether it be for a kitchen, bath or basement remodel or a sunroom, patio or home theater addition.

Anything really goes now, as long as its done on good foundational design, Patrick says. Nothing is out of the realm of possibility.

Two great places to get inspired are the Southern Village Sales Center, 1 Farm Lane, Lancaster, and the Landis Farm Sales Center, 1421 Pennscott Drive, Landisville. Hours at Southern Village are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday and by appointment Monday through Thursday. Hours at Landis Farm are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and by appointment Wednesday.

In addition to the homes in Southern Village, EGStoltzfus has a third Parade of Homes entry - a carriage home at The Farmstead, the newest residential neighborhood at Homestead Village retirement community in East Hempfield Township.
