Timber Trails features Summit’s popular Lifestyle Series of floor plans. The award-winning builder created the Lifestyle Series to simplify the building process for homebuyers by allowing them to choose from nine preselected interior and exterior design packages chosen by Summit’s award-winning professional designer.

The simplified one-stop selection process takes the hassle and stress out of building a new home by eliminating the need to travel to multiple vendor showrooms to choose designer details like tile, paint colors and flooring. Instead, buyers view samples and make all their design decisions with the assistance of the community manager during a single appointment in the comfort of the Community Sales Center. Not only does this streamlined design process save buyers time, it also allows them to have confidence that all the finishes in their home will perfectly complement each other and the overall design of the home.

The series includes two-story, ranch and 11/2-story plans, which range in size from 1,400 square feet to 2,277 square feet and are priced from the $240,000s to the $290,000s, with the lot included.

All Lifestyle Series homes come with an extensive list of standard features, including wide-plank wood flooring in traffic areas; premium Delta plumbing fixtures; custom-built designer cabinetry; rubbed-copper wrought-iron style stair spindles; a spa master bathroom with his-and-her vanity sinks, tiled floors and shower, and a generous walk-in closet.

Kitchens feature stainless steel appliances, large work island, walk-in pantry, tiled backsplash, and custom alder cabinetry with crown molding, and a built-in charging station with USB port.

Home exteriors are built with front lap or stucco and stone veneer elevations, 30-year architectural composite roofing and an insulated fiberglass front door with sidelights and grills. As with every home built by Summit, Lifestyle Series homes come with an industry-leading 10-year structural warranty.

Lifestyle Series homes are energy-efficient and incorporate many technologies to promote healthier indoor air quality. A sealed distribution duct work system prevents conditioned air from passing through dusty interior wall and floor framing, providing families cleaner, healthier indoor air quality in their living spaces. Each home is built with an energy-efficient 13-SEER air conditioner and 80 percent AFUE furnace controlled by a programmable thermostat.
