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.
