Neighborhood Spotlight: Cabe Crossing and Pleasant Green Woods

Cabe Crossing

If you are in the market for a luxurious, newly-built home in the Durham area, you will definitely want to check out Cabe Crossing, a new community located along Eno River State Park! You just can’t go wrong with the quality of these Drees homes, convenience to both I-85 and I-40, and beauty of a state park with 30 miles of scenic walking trails.

Cabe Crossing is an eco-friendly and green subdivision which is ideal for those who care about the environment and enjoy the outdoors. You can choose from among 20 homes on wooded lots ranging from 1-½ to 3.3 acres in the 68-acre subdivision, built in a natural environment. Residents will enjoy private access to the Eno River State Park and trails, a community pond and open space, easy access from major roadways, and excellent schools in the Orange County Public School System.

Homes in the community range from 3,096 to 3,995 square feet and are priced from $522,400 to $735,900. Seven floor plans are available. Amenities include open floor plans with lots of natural light; huge luxury kitchens with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and large islands; and three-car garages.

Pleasant Green Woods

Located nearby is another great community of new homes, also built by Drees, Pleasant Green Woods. This custom-home community includes 16 luxury homes with 1+-acre homesites. Like Cabe Crossing, this community is located near Eno River State Park, and provides easy access to Highway 70, Duke University, Durham, and Hillsborough. Excellent Orange County Schools are nearby.

 

Homes in Pleasant Green Woods range from 2,906 to 3,558 square feet  and are priced from $475,400 to $555,400. There are seven floor plans available, including ranch and two-story homes. Amenities include Drees’ signature “living triangle”: an ample kitchen island with the kitchen itself, surrounded by the family room with a corner fireplace, dining room with custom cabinetry, and outdoor living area. Some models can include a four-season sunroom or screened porch.

If that’s not enough to convince you, here’s one more reason to check out these homes: every Drees home comes with DreeSmart energy savings and home comfort innovations. DreeSmart is the builder’s proprietary whole-house integrated system that combines energy-saving innovations with rigorous third party-inspections and guarantees.  Drees is an Environments for Living Certified Partner, and the builder even goes so far as to guarantee your home’s annual heating- and cooling- related energy usage as well as the comfort of your new home.

Have you heard of the HERS system? (I wrote about it in a previous post). The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) was developed by RESNET (Residential Energy Services Network) and is the nationally-recognized system for inspecting and calculating the energy performance of both new and used homes. Each 1-point decrease in the HERS Score corresponds to a 1% reduction in energy consumption. The lower the score, the lower the energy cost. Every Drees home is inspected by a Certified RESNET Home Energy Rater and receives a HERS Score. Drees homes score an average of 65 -70 points better and deliver nearly 50% more energy savings over typical existing homes.
