The Parkersville Collection  This remarkable group of home plans was created to provide new homes for a landmark district on an island near Savannah. They are perfect reproductions of the rural homes that once dotted Southern coasts and include Victorian, Greek Revival, French Colonial, Craftsman and folk cottage styles.


This group of cottages, bungalows, small houses and larger homes are like the ones people yearn for when they remember their childhood. They arouse an emotional connection that is missing in many of the modern designs being built today.


The Parkersville Collection homes were all originally built in a National Historic District on Isle of Hope, a rural coastal island near Savannah, Georgia. Builder Magazine has noted that the "houses are virtually indistinguishable from the existing island homes." Now these authentic Parkersville home designs are available to you at a fraction of the cost for a custom-designed older style home. These homes demonstrate that it is indeed possible to recreate that special ambience.


The houses are a showcase of the rural designs that once dotted our Southern coasts and traveled across the country with Western settlement. Styles include vernacular versions of victorian, Greek Revival, French Colonial, Craftsman and folk cottages that are so simple they have no style name.
 

The Parkersville Collection has received plaudits from the National Wood Council, The American Institute of Architects, Better Homes and Gardens, Old House Journal and many others. These awards recognize that the Parkersville homes genuinely capture the timeless "look and feel" of older homes while meeting the varied needs of the modern family.


The houses vary in size and layout, from 1260 sf to 3760 sf, and from one to three floors high. Bedrooms might all be upstairs, all downstairs or on both floors. All houses have plenty of storage, modern kitchens and baths. Most have fireplaces and walk-in closets.


Experience has shown that there is much involved with finding local architects and builders who can, from "scratch", create houses that capture an authentic "old" look. Consequently, many people have taken advantage of these plans' flexibility by purchasing blueprints and having them modified locally to meet their individual needs
 

The Parkersville Portfolio is a catalog and complete package designed to give you all the necessary information about this unique collection of home plans. Because these homes are actually built and lived-in, the designs have been tested and they can offer accurate photos and descriptions of each house. Ordering the Portfolio makes it easy to find the perfect home for your lifestyle.
