Brightwood Farm: Live Like the Rich and Famous...
from $140’s!
Neighborhoods like Brightwood Farm are few and far between in the Triad. More than just a great place to live, Brightwood Farm is a lifestyle choice. Brightwood Farm is about a fabulous clubhouse for entertaining your friends, a Jr Olympic-sized pool for those long summer afternoons, a community grilling and picnic area for those spur of the moment gatherings and a well-appointed workout facility for residents’ exclusive use. And while Brightwood Farm is about far more than just a new home, the new homes are creating a buzz all their own.
The Community
Brightwood Farm was formerly a horse farm set in the rolling hills of Guilford County mid-way between Greensboro and Burlington. When the decision to develop the property was made, there was a conscious effort to protect the beauty and integrity of the Farm. Indeed, one of the striking things as you enter the property are the beautiful trees surrounding the original farmhouse which is still lived-in today. Just past the farmhouse you come to a roundabout (a tilt of the hat to Britain’s horse country) and then the clubhouse. The clubhouse serves as the focal point for the community with clubs and groups of friends meeting regularly. A fully appointed kitchen is the nucleus for throwing parties, and the fireplaces, indoors and out, make for cozy get-togethers especially in the fall and winter. Of course, the clubhouse is fitted with a television and stereo so everything residents need to successfully entertain is in place. In warmer parts of the year, the pool deck which extends from the clubhouse is the ticket. Residents can bring a cooler and cookout on the natural gas grill or just laze by the pool. The adjoining playground keeps the kids busy if they tire of the Jr Olympic-sized pool while a fully outfitted exercise room awaits the adults. Brightwood Farm’s heritage as a horse farm and the fact that the developers have maintained the “feel” of its heritage is a driving factor for the neighborhood. The streets are inviting for a stroll, and the quiet of the location is soothing to the soul.
Despite the solitude of Brightwood Farm it’s not desolate. In fact, Brightwood Farm’s location is one of its strongest attributes. Located mid way between Burlington and Greensboro, Brightwood Farm’s residents work and play in both cities and there are even a number of residents that work in Raleigh or the Research Triangle Park. With I-40 only 5 minutes away, the commute is easy in any direction. Shopping is even better with Alamance Crossing, one of the Triad’s newest and most exciting shopping districts, less than 15 minutes away. And, if that’s not enough, great golf is available literally next door at Stoney Creek Golf Course.
The Homes
Brightwood Farm’s newest neighborhood, The Downs at Brightwood Farm, recently opened with homes built exclusively by DR Horton. Eight floorplans offer a choice for any lifestyle. Priced from the $140’s, the floorplans range in size from approximately 1,500 to 3,000 square feet. The layout includes 9 foot high ceilings on the first floor and you can choose a plan with the master suite on the main level, up to 5 bedrooms and homes that are nicely appointed even if you elect not to select any of the exciting custom upgrades. The homes are built with energy-saving features such as natural gas hot water and heat and brick or stone exteriors with vinyl siding. If you want to customize, then you have a huge selection of options which include adding screened porches or sunrooms, hardwoods inside, higher-end cabinetry, Corian or Granite countertops and a range of other possibilities. To make the vast array of possible selections easier, DR Horton has an award winning designer studio, called the “Expressions Gallery”, where their on-staff interior designer will assist you with all selections, colors and finishes. One of the best aspects of a DR Horton home, however, is the comfort their residents have in knowing their home was built by a builder that has a firm foundation of their own. DR Horton has been voted America’s Number One builder for 8 years in a row by Builder Magazine.
