Brittany Burkhart, the Wayne Homes Model and Virtual Design Coordinator, said the team made some key updates to the Charleston II Model Home to reflect today’s trends.

“For the exterior, we’re loving the dark siding trend. We’re excited to show it with contrasting white stone and trim. I love the way it stands out when you drive by. It definitely has incredible curb appeal.”

For the interior, Brittany says the team really focused on three areas of improvement when discussing and choosing the new design.

“First, we made it brighter by updating the color palette. Second, we focused on emphasizing the spaciousness of the floor plan with thoughtful design and material choices. Thirdly, we made selections that elevated the design and incorporated current trends while keeping affordability in mind, something that we know remains incredibly important to our customers.”
