A drive through a Grant & Co. community in Olive Branch, MS or in Shelby County, TN will reveal something very different about Grant homes. Our home designs are not “off the shelf” but are designed specifically for Grant homebuyers.  Grant homes are unique in the Mid-South – not cookie-cutter plans designed for the builder, but homes designed for the lifestyles of Grant homeowners. One such unique plan is the Lafayette – designed by the late Lavelle Walker, a well- known Memphis architect and designer. The Lafayette is reminiscent of New Orleans-style homes with its stately two-story brick exterior.  Inside the home, a formal entry hall leads to an open living space with a dining room, large family room and country style kitchen.  A convenient granite-toped breakfast bar separates the kitchen from the family room.  The focal point of this space is the fireplace with a perfect place for a flat screen TV above it and flanked by windows on either side for lots of natural lighting. The master bedroom suite is on the first level with a large master closet, separate shower and whirlpool tub in the master bathroom. Grant’s exclusive King Spa Shower is available in this home. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with a fourth bedroom available, an additional bathroom and a completed play room. With over 2,400 square feet of heated space, the Lafayette has absolutely no wasted space.  Three very different exterior elevation designs are available on this home. A part of Grant’s Signature Series of Homes, the Lafayette is currently under construction in Forest Hill and Maplebrook in Olive Branch, MS   To see the Lafayette in these two Grant neighborhoods, click here.
