The Hickory

The Hickory floor plan features 1342 sq. ft. of open living space with cathedral ceilings and double master suites. The spacious living room connects to the kitchen with a built-in kitchen bar that allows for great entertaining. Be sure to look at the great options available like a corner fireplace, all-seasons room, and a full basement.

Unique Amenities
It’s all about the details. The interior offers standard amenities that are not at all common, like a pull out spray faucet or satin chrome door hardware. A convenient first floor laundry option will allow you to live the way you want to live.
