10th Annual Triangle Green Home Tour May 2-3 & 9-10

The 10th Annual Triangle Green Home Tour starts today! 

This free, self-guided event will feature over 30 green-certified homes across the Triangle, and will be held on May 2-3 and May 9-10, 2015 from Noon to 5pm.


The tour will allow you to examine a number of innovative green building features in a wide variety of homes in all styles and price points -- ranging from Habitat for Humanity and entry-level homes to custom luxury entries. 


Briar Chapel will have five homes on this year's tour, which are listed below:
  • 110 Old Piedmont Circle (Homes By Dickerson) 
  • 33 Old Piedmont Circle (David Weekley) 
  • 23 Old Piedmont Circle (Saussy Burbank) 
  • 77 Sagebrush Road (M/I Homes) 
  • 1954 Great Ridge Parkway (Lennar Homes) 
However, it is important to remember that ALL homes in Briar Chapel are required to be green-certified upon completion. So, if there is a particular home for sale that you like that's not on the tour, Jen Winkler would be happy to arrange a private showing for you. Give her a call at 919-593-3662.
