The Chesapeake

January 24, 2012

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.
