When you walk into a Classica home, you slow down, you feel warmth and excitement at the same time. All the amazing details harmonize together, creating the home you will forever love. Since 2010 Classica has partnered with award-winning architect, Dave Kosco of Bassenian Lagoni Architects, for innovative custom floorplans. Magic happens when someone reaches into your mind, finds your dream, and has already designed it.

Timeless Beauty that wows today, still loved tomorrow and valued for generations.
Abundant natural light dancing throughout your home making it warm, bright and inviting.
Open living with subtle definitions between living, dining, and kitchen spaces, allows each room to flow to the next while retaining its own identity.
Kitchens with loved and generous storage where cabinets appear as built-in furniture, and an oversized island becomes the home's gathering place.
Flexible spaces that invite you to use them differently throughout all your life stages.
Right-sized rooms enhance the way you live and optimize how you use them. Rooms that always feel right, regardless of size.
The Covered Outdoor Living Room is integral to Inspired Living. Many call it their favorite new room and love how their glass wall of doors slides open or folds away, blending the inside with the outside.
Vestibules separate living areas from private areas. Now your Primary Suite is cocooned from the rest of your home.
Doors placed out of sight in your Primary suite create surprising tranquility as well as uninterrupted expanses of wall to make furniture and art placement a breeze.
The Primary Bath is meticulously designed for a luxury escape, where you can even choose the size of your shower. Primary Closets are oversized to feel like a private boutique for two.
Functionality is thoughtfully designed. The beauty and livability of your home surprises you in ways you may not have ever imagined.

Timeless Exteriors

An inspiring floor plan is necessary, but for your home to be remarkable it needs to look the part. The exterior is important. Timeless, beautiful, elevated in style, exacting in details - refined. Landmark neighborhoods are characterized by outstanding exterior architecture of homes of various styles.

Classica partners with one of the nation's best in exterior architectural styles. Yes, that's right, Classica uses not one, but two renowned architects to design each home - Dave Kosco of Bassenian Lagoni Architects for the inside, and Todd Hallett of TK Designs for the outside.

A home designed for beauty and incorporated with timeless concepts will outlast trends every time. It only happens when the best architects and designers give their work to a builder, and the builder honors that work, using the best Trade Partners to handcraft your home and never cutting details to cut costs. This Classica believes and delivers. 

Authenticity Going back to the pattern books for proper sizing, roof pitches, and window shapes. You home will stand proud through the generations.
Artistry Using proportions, details, and materials that match the style of the home. Never overdoing, staying true to the style's intent and finding the right modern touch.
Real Materials Using real stone and stucco, authentic siding and top-of-line brick are choices that elevate and respect the home's style. Details - Shutters that are proportional with shutter dogs and hinges, exterior trim details and front door and garage door designs that compliment the home's style. The jewelry of your home.

Design Flexibility

Live the Way You Want

Your Classica home begins with today's most popular luxury features, but you're unique and have your own ideas. That's why Classica prices into every home $40,000 for you to choose unique features and architectural details that are on your must-have list. Year after year, Classica gets a resounding thank you from their homebuyers and we think you will like it too.

Every Home Starts with Fine Features

Every home starts with custom features that the majority of luxury homeowners expect plus some unexpected wows that you'll love. To name just a few: Covered Outdoor Living Room, eight-foot tall doors and openings, hardwoods throughout all first-floor living areas, and a custom-built staircase with hand-stained wood treads.

Every Floor Plan Has Structural Variations

There are spaces in every home where you get to decide how to use it. You may love a soaking tub while others dream of an oversized spa shower. You may want a traditional butler's pantry while some would prefer a scullery for a second dishwasher and sink, while others want the same space for a home office. The list goes on and on. 

Design Studio

You want your home to feel magical, to excite your senses, to welcome you home, to make it so beautiful that you don't want to leave. Classica's 4000 square-foot Design Studio, offering hundreds of choices, is where the magic starts. Thousands of hand-picked choices await. It's your dream studio, your ultimate all-in-one resource, where every finish is handpicked and curated to give you the best.

To bring your vision to life, your personal Classica Designer spends dedicated hours helping you create the look you've always wanted within your budget. You'll be delighted with the customized guidance given and the innovative ideas provided to personalize your home. Heidi & Ron say it best: "I loved being able to come to the Design Center as much as we needed to until we got the house design complete. It was nice not to feel pressure of a certain time limit to get it all done. Lisa made it lots of fun and so enjoyable." Pricing at Classica is always transparent, and the Design Studio is no different. You'll know your "Fully Designed" price before construction begins. The approach is personal, the pricing is exact and the results are outstanding.
