Attic Temps in the mid-80s during June? It's possible.

I recently had a chance to stop by the new model home for Homes by Dickerson in Briar Chapel, and was very impressed with the quality of construction and green features.

This particular home has the optional foam insulation upgrade, which tends to be quieter and 3-4 times more efficient than conventional insulation. Combined with the ZIP System sheathing and foil-backed plywood, the spray foam helped the builder achieve attic temperatures in the mid-80s compared to 100+ degrees during the hot summer months. This, along with the benefits of a sealed crawl space, translates into significant energy savings for the homeowner.

This "Jacob A" model has a wonderful floor plan that is great for entertaining. Just shy of 2500 sqft, this 3 bedrooms home starts at a base price of $369,900. Pictures say a thousand words, so I encourage you to check out the virtual tour.


Homes by Dickerson is a relatively small company that is delivering big results. Although they have only been part of the Briar Chapel builder team since the early part of 2010, they have already sold a number of homes in the development - including their original model. Here is a sample of their current inventory of single family homes for sale, which typically range in price from $350,000-450,000:
If you think any of the above plans might suit your needs, please contact me for a private tour of the community. I would also be happy to introduce you to the builder and discuss available home sites, including several that have recently been released that back up to some incredible green space. We can also take a look at some of their other plans, such as the Carmichael and Montclair, or consider modifications to better suit your needs.

Of course, I would be delighted to represent you as a buyer should you decide to buy or build in Briar Chapel. Remember... it doesn't cost you anything extra to have someone look out for your best interests!
