Local Parade Of Homes Showcase Features The Latest In Home Design
If you’re thinking about building a new home or remodeling an existing home, it’s definitely worth your time to visit the Lakes Region Parade of Homes; and even if you’re not in the market right now, treat yourself to this interactive, fun new platform. Down the road you’ll remember that house you loved or that great builder you met.
There are eight projects to peruse this year representing four newly built homes, two extensive remodels and two home renovation projects. And though everyone will miss the opportunity to see visitors in person this year, the builders and parade partners are excited to share what they have created.
This year’s talented builders include… Bella Woods Building, Hayward & Co., Northstar Contractors, Inter-Lakes Builders, Outside-In Construction, KTM Exterior, Custance Brothers Woodworking & Sandra Curtis Design, LLC and Lighthouse Contracting Group.
The virtual tour kicks off on Saturday, October 10th at 10am with co-hosts and commentaries leading into each builder’s pre-recorded projects. Click into any of the home detail to see photos of the project, read the home description and learn more about the builder.
If paradegoers wish to view more, tickets are available and cost $10 per household. When a ticket is purchased online, a unique code will be sent that allows full access to all of the elements of the virtual home tour. The interactive site remains live through March 31, 2021. All ticket holders will be entered into a drawing to win local prizes including an overnight stay at Mill Falls at the Lake, Meredith, a 15” Telescoping Flagpole donated by Watermark Marine, Gift Certificates to restaurants and more. Proceeds from the ticket sales help fund the Huot Technical Center’s build programs.
Click the “360 Virtual Tour” link. Then, to virtually “walk” through the homes, click/tap the circles on the floor of the space to move you around. Want to take a look around from any given spot? Just use your mouse/finger to get a 360 view of any spot in the home. Want to see the 3D view of the entire home? Click on the 3D floor plan icon in the left corner of the screen to see the home in “dollhouse” view.
For the Meet the Builder tours, click on “Video Tour” link. Visitors can take their time meeting each builder by watching their professional video modules from the convenience of their own homes. With each builder’s segments lasting 8-10 minutes. Feel free to ask the builder questions via email about more information or questions you have about their projects.
Ticket holders can help determine the 2020 “People’s Choice” Award by voting for their favorite overall project. Only one vote per ticket. The deadline to vote is October 20th by 11:59pm.
The tour includes over 25,000 square feet of living space. Interestingly, three of the projects were built lakeside and four have lake views from the surrounding area including, Lake
Winnipesaukee, Lake Kanastika, Lake Waukewan and Lake Winnisquam. With more people working and learning from home and with the low inventory of new homes in the market, many homeowners are looking to renovate existing homes and spaces. The tour offers refreshing ideas and unique collaborations with builders and designers. For more extensive remodels, two builders highlight existing spaces and create more efficient uses making the homeowners’ dreams a reality.
