Overview
There are nine Epcon communities to choose from in the Triangle area. Each has its own unique attributes due to the surrounding area and construction, but one feature really sets them apart from other communities….the courtyard. Each home has its own courtyard created by three walls of the home. It is a wonderful place enjoy being outside, yet is private, so you can enjoy morning coffee or entertain friends. Because the home borders the courtyard on three sides, it becomes the center piece of the house and bathes the adjoining rooms in light while also providing a nice view. You need to experience it to really appreciate what a great concept it is!
The primary living areas of the kitchen, great room, dining room, and master bedroom surround the courtyard making for a light and open floorplan that is unparalleled in other Active Adult homes.
Other great options include a sitting room with courtyard views off the Master Bedroom
A zero entry shower
Amazing gourmet kitchens
Office off the courtyard
