The eighth Southern Living Custom Builder Showcase Home by Dillard-Jones Builders is set to open for public tours July 25 at The Retreat in The Cliffs at Keowee Falls South.
The home is a 3,300-square-foot custom cottage design. It has an open floor plan with four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Special features include an open kitchen/dining room with flagstone flooring, media room, and outdoor living space that include a screened porch, stone fireplace and outdoor fire pit. Hand-hewn stone is used throughout the home.
The Retreat is a collection of 16 single-family cottages and lakeside living townhomes in an established waterfront enclave. Retreat homeowners have a choice of membership options including the Cliffs clubhouse and Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. Private boat slips are also available.
In 2009, Dillard-Jones Builders became the first South Carolina homebuilder to be named a Southern Living Custom Builder of the Year. In 2011, Dillard-Jones became the first company in the 18-year history of the Southern Living Custom Builder Program to win the Builder of the Year award twice. Also in 2011, Southern Living named Dillard-Jones to represent its Custom Builder Program in the Asheville, N.C., market along with Greenville.
The title sponsor of the home is 84 Lumber. As a Southern Living Showcase Home, the project will incorporate products of all national Southern Living sponsors including JELD-WEN Windows & Doors, Lennox, Sherwin-Williams and Rinnai.
After public tours, the house will serve as a model home.
