One of Grant and Co.’s most loved home plans, THE CHESAPEAKE, has undergone several facelifts to become the company’s top selling home design. As with all Grant & Co. designs, the Chesapeake has evolved and developed over the years as homebuyers made recommendations for changes in the plan.  “Buyers know what is important in their daily lives and they want a home that suits their lifestyle,” said Keith Grant, Co-Owner of Keith and David Grant Homes, LLC, a Grant & Co. builder. Grant & Co. listens.  A tweak here and there, a wall moved slightly, an additional bedroom, a little larger window – all of these things add up to an improved floor plan. Today’s Chesapeake features a roomy and private master suite that encompasses most of one side of the home.  The master bath is detailed with a jetted whirlpool tub, walk-in shower, his/hers vanities, and spacious walk-in closet.  For family time, there is a wonderful hearth room with a corner fireplace, TV niche and large window overlooking the backyard.  There is also a covered back porch for grilling and relaxing during warm months.   The breakfast area is sunlit by a pretty bay window.  Right off the kitchen is a formal dining room and the two story great room.  Unlike most other traditional floor plans, the Chesapeake has a second bedroom on the first floor.  This bedroom is ideal for a new baby’s nursery or can be used as a home office.  Upstairs there is a 21X13 ft. playroom flanked by two more bedrooms and a children’s bathroom.  There is also a fifth bedroom option on the second floor – great for a growing family or an additional recreational space. There are three very different front elevations for this plan – a French country look, a southern traditional look and a more modern traditional look.  There are also hundreds of ways to “customize” this home in the Grant & Co. Design Studio. The Chesapeake is offered in Kyle’s Creek, Mitchell’s Corner and Montrose in Olive Branch, MS; in Bartlett Pointe in Bartlett, TN; and in Kensington and Hayesville in Arlington, TN.
