It happens in all businesses. At first, a business delivers the best product to get the customers familiar with their creation. Customers start buying the product. Prices go up and up and up so the company starts pass increases along to customers.
Suddenly customers stop buying the products at a higher price. The company starts cutting corners on quality and materials in order to still provide a product hopefully customers will continue to buy. Maybe the product continues to sell, but now customers are not associating quality and workmanship with the product. The company and product are now commodities based on price … not quality.
Does this sound familiar? Think about all the different products — TVs & electronics, clothes, restaurants, and of course new homes.
Oh sure, this doesn’t happen with homes (wink, wink)…whatever. The list forms to the right on once quality-first home builders that have unfortunately lowered their standards of workmanship, design, creativity, and materials in order to keep their doors open.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about every home builder out there, but there sure are a lot more of them than five, 10, and certainly 15 years ago.
That’s why it’s so refreshing to come across a home and a builder that went the extra mile, that spent that extra few shillings to use quality materials in order to put their best foot forward.
Corner Home in Crestwood
Welcome to 700 North Bailey in the magical Fort Worth neighborhood of Crestwood. I’ve written about Crestwood numerous times in the past. It’s one of my favorite neighborhoods.
This is a brand-new home built by local Fort Worth builder Clover III Construction. A collaborative design-and-finish effort between Claire Berkes and Tina McMackin of Arrange — which also has professionally staged the home — was sought to make sure all details of the home were top notch.
Throughout the home are the finest materials and workmanship from Durango Doors of Fort Worth, Marvin Windows, Bertazzoni appliances in the kitchen and butler’s pantry, professional landscaping by Nature Scapes, and flooring from Vintage Floors in Fort Worth.
Overall, the 3,600-square-foot home offers four bedrooms, four-and-one-half bathrooms, a private study, upstairs sitting area as well as an area that can be used for a game room, exercise room, media room, or whatever else you can think of.
Two Yard Spaces
Corner homesites are always tricky to maximize when building new construction. Often times two separate yard spaces are created, but who really needs two yards? Knowing that can be an issue, the designers of this home detached the spacious garage and created a large breezeway that now connects the two yards.
