Expansive living areas

Relaxing great room with a cozy fireplace in a Helena home

As you bring your clients into the Helena plan, the first thing they’ll likely notice is the immense great room, complete with a cozy fireplace (on select homesites). This space is large enough to fit a variety of purposes, from hosting celebrations to gathering the whole family for a movie night. Adjacent to the great room is the plan’s gourmet kitchen, a true show-stopper. Culinary aficionados and amateur chefs alike will appreciate the kitchen’s impressive features, including ample counter space, a generous walk-in pantry, and a center island that can double as a breakfast bar.

Depending on the listing and region, this home may also offer a formal dining room (excellent for dinner parties or holidays) and/or an inviting sunroom, which can serve as an additional dining or living space. That’s one of the many advantages of the Helena floor plan—there are abundant ways in which your clients can use the home’s rooms.

Eye-catching primary suite

Expansive primary suite in a Helena home

Situated just off the great room, the Helena’s lavish primary suite is a highlight of the floor plan. It showcases a spacious walk-in closet and an attached bathroom, which may include deluxe features—such as double sinks, a large walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub—on select homesites. In some regions, the primary suite may also boast an adjacent retreat, providing buyers with additional space to relax, as well as a second walk-in closet (perfect for couples who don’t want to share).

As mentioned previously in this article, one of the prominent benefits of the suite is its convenient and central location. This tranquil oasis may be private, but it still offers easy access to the home’s main living areas, as well as the nearby laundry room. Older clients or those with mobility restrictions are sure to appreciate this added bonus.

Other notable features

Depending on the community, the Helena may also include a second floor, which could boast a loft, a bonus room, a bedroom, a full bathroom, or a combination of the latter. With such versatility, your buyers could use the upstairs space for a variety of purposes, from hosting more guests to setting up a homework station for the kids. On the main floor, the home could also feature an elegant study in lieu of a formal dining room off the entry.

Clients will be pleased to know that many Helena listings showcase outdoor living areas as well. With the addition of a charming covered patio (and convenient sliding glass doors), buyers could enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining during the warmer months. Invite them to imagine the barbeques and al fresco dinner parties they could host using this space.

Luxury living, redefined

The Helena is part of our Aspire Collection™, a selection of floor plans designed to elevate and enrich the daily lives of homeowners. These spacious plans are built on estate-sized homesites, offering buyers more room both inside and outside the home. They also boast many upscale features, such as professional kitchens, expansive entertaining spaces, formal living and dining areas, and more. The generous garages are large enough to fit three vehicles (or more on some homesites!) and can serve as additional storage spaces as well.

Aspire Collection™ homes are great options for buyers with larger families or multi-generational households. Some even offer attached or detached guest accommodations that are ideal for this situation (or for buyers who enjoy hosting frequently). Even if your clients have a smaller family and are just looking to upgrade their lifestyle, a floor plan from this desirable line could be the perfect fit.

Lifestyle approved

Each of our floor plans, whether part of the Aspire Collection™ or another of our home collections, are meticulously designed with the needs of today’s homebuyers in mind. Our team carefully selects layouts and features that can suit a variety of lifestyles, from families with small children in need of several bedrooms to older adults looking for a lower-maintenance home to settle in.
