Strategy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Selecting the right lot for a chosen floor plan is a crucial step in creating <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">custom built homes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A strategic pairing can enhance natural light, maximize privacy, and ensure a home aligns with the homeowner\u2019s lifestyle and future needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits &amp; Strategy for Wide Lot Designs (See Lots #1 &amp; #2)\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wide designs use the extra width as an advantage. This design can be shallow in depth which helps it fit on sites with steep slopes or rear restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits &amp; Strategy for Courtyard and\/or Plaza Entry Designs (See Lots #3 &amp; #7)\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These designs allow for the maximum width of the design. The only restrictions are side-yard setbacks. They allow full exposure on the rear of the design because the garage protrudes forward creating an &#8220;L&#8221; shape that helps with privacy from neighbors. When approaching the house, site lines are good as you look into the &#8220;L&#8221;.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits &amp; Strategy for Motor Court Side-Entry Designs (See Lots #4, #5 &amp; #6)\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of design is a good choice for &#8220;pie&#8221; shaped lots that are narrower in the front than the rear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If\/when side-entry is required, the benefits of three-car storage can be achieved without a three-car garage dominating the facade. It adds length to the overall width, which improves curb appeal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits &amp; Strategy for Corner Lot Designs (See Lot #8)\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This design features an unobstructed front. A rear\/side garage is entered from the side street with the main elevation facing the front street. A long side dimension can create privacy for the rear yard &#8211; pool, play set, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits &amp; Strategy for Smaller\/Narrower Lot Designs (See Lot # 9 &amp; #10)<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These designs are a good choice for more compact lots.
