Designed To Sell - Model Home Makeovers

Who knew? So often we think that new, innovative ideas are typically found in larger urban areas then slowly work their way into other markets. When I started hearing great things about Red Baron Building Company in Lindale Texas I have to say I was skeptical, but as a Lifestylist® I never pass on an opportunity to see and try new things.

Owner Jerry Alexander isn't someone that sits in an office and talks about building - he's more comfortable being in the field making choices and doing things himself. His interest in green building has him busy designing new products and and using existing products in new and unusual ways.  It's absolutely amazing the things that Jerry and his team are doing with concrete, and some of the products they have designed will not only be available in their homes, but to designers and consumers as well.

Ruby Trails is a new subdivision that Red Baron is building with homes starting in the mid-100's.  I visit a lot of new homes, and I can honestly say I've never seen homes that offer as much as these do.  This is a builder who obviously loves what he does, and hasn't overlooked one detail. Full brick and stone exteriors - many with keystones made by Red Baron, and entry doors with leaded glass and transoms. Spacious kitchens with the coolest countertops I've seen in years - concrete with embedded objects in them that I'm just lusting over.

All of the homes are Energy Star rated, and seeing that they are using Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters was amazing - that's what I want in my personal home! All of their hardware is oil rubbed bronze, and the wood trim in the homes is beautiful! Many of the homes have not one, but two walk in closets in the master  suites... did I mention that all of this is included, not an option?

This is just a small list of what these homes have to offer. It's exciting to me that a home in this price range can offer so much, and be energy efficient as well. If you are looking for new trends, obviously Lindale is the place to be. I can't wait to see what else Red Baron Building and Jerry can come up with!
