Perry Homes offers variety of one-and two-story homes priced from the $380,000s, ranging from 3,500 to 6,000 square feet and built on 80-foot homesites. Some lakefront and corner homesites are available. Perry Homes also builds homes in the 70-foot homesite section with prices from the $270,000s and sizes ranging from 3,000 to 4,800.

The model home, currently under construction and representative of homes available to build in the 80-foot homesite section, showcases Plan 5497. This two-story design has four bedrooms and 3 ½ baths in approximately 5,497 square feet.

Both formals and a two-story library are set off the plan’s entry. A two-story rotunda, highlighted by a coffered ceiling, opens to two curved staircases leading to the second floor.

The two-story family room hosts a corner fireplace and overlooks a 400-square foot covered backyard patio through a wall of windows. In this open design, the island kitchen features built-in seating space, GE appliances, granite countertops, ceramic tile backsplash and 42-inch job-built cabinets with decorative accents.

The master suite, located on the first floor, boasts a sitting area with a raised ceiling and a fireplace. A whirlpool tub with an upgraded bronze faucet, a glass-enclosed shower with ceramic tile flooring and surround, a dual vanity with granite countertops and walk-in closet complement the master bath.

A game room and a media room share the second floor with three secondary bedrooms and abundant closet and storage space. Crown moulding, accent paint and a three-car attached garage with a porte-cochere complete this design.

Perry Homes in Old Orchard are built to meet or exceed both the Greater Houston Builders Association Green Building Initiative and Houston Energy Star guidelines designed to increase energy efficiency and protect the environment. All homes include high-efficiency 14.0 SEER Goodman air conditioners and high-efficiency, insulated low E glass windows. Homes also feature LP TechShield radiant barrier sheathing to prevent most of the sun’s radiant heat from entering the attic.

Plus, Perry Homes now offers a two-year Workmanship Warranty, double the industry standard, covering workmanship and materials on new homes. This expanded coverage is a part of the 10-year Texas home warranty.
