WELCOME

to Arthur Rutenberg Homes We invite you to discover the elegance, craftsmanship, and lasting value expressed in every home we build – whether it’s one of our many award-winning model homes…or your home.

Arthur Rutenberg has been a respected name in homebuilding since 1953, when

Arthur Rutenberg

Founder

he built his first home upon the four “cornerstones” that would make him legendary: design, craftsmanship, service, and responsibility. He would go on to build a business with those same core values and forever change the landscape of residential homebuilding.

Today, Arthur Rutenberg Homes, Inc. is the largest network of independently

Barry Rutenberg Chairman

property or in some of the finest, most prestigious upscale communities. To see for yourself, visit one of our fully-furnished model homes.

On the subject of custom homes.

At Arthur Rutenberg Homes we’ve repeatedly proven that a better process gets better results. While many builders claim that designing a “one of a kind” or “true” custom home is best, what they don’t want you to know is everything we bring to the table to provide you with a better experience.

So let’s take a look at some of the features that show why so many custom home buyers choose to build with Arthur Rutenberg Homes.

Unique Floor Plan Design At Arthur Rutenberg Homes we constantly introduce new home concepts to the market, and our designs are unique to the industry because they are continuously refined to be efficient and functional.

Each of our plans can be personalized, resulting in a truly unique floor plan for each customer.

Unique Elevation Designs We offer multiple elevations for each of our many home designs, and our staff of in-house architectural designers can modify these to specific desired styles or even design new elevations from scratch.

Proven Functionality Our team of interior designers works closely with the architectural design team to ensure each plan functions properly. This includes creating dynamic sight lines, carefully placing windows, and ensuring appropriately scaled furniture can be located in each room. The way our plans live and how they furnish has helped to secure our reputation in the industry.

Design Work Completed Quickly When you customize your home, the same Design Team that designs our model homes will incorporate your changes to ensure they work properly and within just a few days provide a Personalized Floor Plan. The speed and quality of the Personalized Floor Plan process is unmatched in the industry, saving you time.

Initial Price Is the Guaranteed Final Price We can guarantee that our initial price will be the final price.

One of the best things about our company is that we’ll give you our best and final price right at the outset, without any negotiating effort on your part. We never add a negotiating factor, so there is nothing to negotiate out.

Detailed Plans Our plans include a detailed set of drawings with interior elevations, including cabinet layouts, interior trim details, wall details, and flooring details.

Standard Features Completed and Itemized at Quote Stage Your final quote will include a detailed itemization of the standard features and selections to be included in your home.

Expediting this process allows for smoother construction of your home, fewer change orders, and peace of mind.

Finish Selections Made in Our Design Studio Our Design Studios showcase products today’s custom home buyers want in their homes, that fit their budgets, and are backed by brands they can trust. And our professional interior designers guide you through the process, making it both easy and fun.

Change Orders Minimized Our process minimizes the need for change orders during the construction process. The process includes Personalized Floor Plans, detailed plans, itemized selections, and color sessions completed in a professional Design Studio.

Model Homes Available for Easy Reference Our plan collection is alive and can be experienced by touring our model home network. Model homes allow you to experience firsthand how dramatic yet functional our plans are and how beautifully they live.

Guaranteed Model Home Quality Finish Level The craftsmanship in your home will be equal to or better than the model home you visited. These are words we live by, and this is quality you can see, touch, and understand.

Allowances Represent Less Than 10% of the Total Price Allowances typically lead to change orders and budget increases, something we work hard to avoid. With your features and selections finalized early in the process before the start of construction, there is minimal need for a multitude of allowances.

Generous. Grand. Gorgeous. You’ll want to save some of your favorite words to describe the gracious style and beauty of the Rochelle.

Open. Elegant. Impressive. Just a few steps in and you immediately sense the home’s ambiance from the architectural details that greet you. A soaring vaulted ceiling with stunning architectural beams. Dramatic curving staircase.

Massive stone fireplace wall. A climate-controlled wine room to house hundreds of your favorite bottles.

The spectacular sight lines continue straight through the great room and out through the wall of glass doors that maximize your view and bring the outdoors in. Slide back the doors to open up your living area; the flow is amazing when you’re entertaining, and also very pleasant for any weeknight meal.

Spacious. Sunny. Surprising! This home is bright and accommodating in the most unexpected places. Even laundry day seems more cheerful in the multipurpose arrival center/utility room just off the kitchen. With natural light and plenty of storage and counter space, this room is an inviting place to stage a party, store your larger kitchen gadgets, or work on a crafts project. Behind a door cleverly disguised in the kitchen cabinetry is a welcome surprise: a large room that is technically a pantry, but with its extra refrigerator and amazing counter and shelving space, “pantry” doesn’t quite seem to be a sufficient word.

Private. Luxurious. Relaxing. Finally, let’s explore some of the more intimate areas of the home. A den tucked away toward the back of the home serves as a nice getaway space for reading or working. There’s an unexpected little moment of “wow” here: a powder room hidden behind the wainscoting.

The master suite is your own personal retreat, complete with exceptionally generous closet space and bathroom with lovely details, including a very special makeup area.

Ascend the curved staircase to discover a whole second world with private bedrooms and baths for family and guests. Looking for a few special touches?

You’ll find them in the club room/media theater area with a wet bar and balcony that beckons you out to enjoy a lovely evening.

There’s also unfinished attic space that is open to your imagination. We’ve even designated the perfect spot for a future elevator.

Barbecuing outdoors on summer evenings. Coffee on the covered porch the first warm day of spring. Season after season and year after year, you’ll appreciate life in the Pembrooke.

Soak in the sun-filled spaces, the cathedral ceilings, and dramatic wood beams. Appreciate the strategically located wet bar that serves the great room and the dining room with equal ease.

If your family enjoys cooking together, this center-of-the-home kitchen is for you. Or if you’d prefer to take on chef duties but stay connected to family or guests, then again this home fits the bill, with its open floor plan and large center island.

And when warm weather allows, you can push back the glass doors to open the entire living space up to your deep, covered porch.

The many charms of the Pembrooke are immediately obvious, yet there are a few surprises here and there you might not notice at first glance. One is right under your nose in the kitchen: a secret room disguised within the kitchen cabinetry. Open the hidden door to find an amazing pantry and prep area tucked away just out of sight.

Another little delight is the arrival center that connects the garages to the kitchen. Shelf and counter space plus an extra storage closet make it one of the most useful spaces in the house. The kids can drop their muddy soccer shoes here, and you can keep your golf clubs out of the way but ready to load into the trunk at a moment’s notice.

Luxuries are everywhere. A master suite with sumptuous bath offers a private getaway where you can start the morning in your grand walk-in shower, or end the day with a nice long soak in your freestanding tub. On the other side of the home a two-level den provides a quiet space to work or read. Two en suite bedrooms are ideal for children or for guests.

It’s everything you could ask for in a home. But, of course, there’s more. Wind your way down to the unfinished lower level with its walkout porch, amazing storage, and unlimited options waiting for your decisions. We suggest a game room, a second office, and another bedroom or two. Or perhaps you see a home theater, a gym, or a mother-in-law suite.

Whatever you decide, getting there will surely be fun.

Every season is entertaining season at the Ridgecrest. Throw back all the doors the first warm spring evening of the year, and celebrate with an al fresco dinner. Fire up the grill for the main course and carry on a conversation with your cooking partner who’s tossing a salad in the kitchen; the disappearing glass doors seamlessly merge the indoor and outdoor kitchens. When the mornings get nippy in late fall, no worries. Throughout the year, you’ll be living and enjoying an indoor-outdoor space that is perfect for everyday life, and simply amazing when guests are over.

The Ridgecrest offers a natural flow and an open floor plan that makes entertaining a breeze. The details are perfect, too. Your wine collection is dramatically displayed behind the perfectly positioned wet bar on the home’s main floor. A second wet bar on the terrace level serves you and your guests in the recreation room.

The arrival center is another everyday convenience that keeps life humming along in the Ridgecrest. This sunny room connecting garage to kitchen serves as your mud room/project room/laundry room, and provides convenient household storage to supplement the large walk-in pantry.

An oversized garage accommodates cars, recreational equipment, and tools, with room left over for a nice workshop or gardening counter.

The main floor also comprises a lovely owner’s wing, replete with a large den, and a luxurious master suite with private entrance onto the back porch. The spa bath is designed for his and her luxury, with a freestanding tub and an oversized shower featuring two doors and two showerheads. A very generously sized dressing room completes the picture.

Choose your homesite with great care if you select the Ballantyne; this home is designed to make the most of your outdoor living area and backyard view.

Generous use of glass assures light-filled spaces and beautiful views from nearly every room, including from the secluded master suite. And when the weather permits, the great room’s glass doors slide away out of view, to seamlessly merge your indoor living space with a grand covered porch – offering amazing opportunities for outdoor living and entertaining.

The first words that may come to mind when you step into the Ballantyne are “extremely inviting.” You’ll feel that way, and so will your guests. Whether the occasion is a formal dinner party, a casual weeknight supper, or a gala with dozens of guests, the Ballantyne is intelligently designed to encourage a natural flow throughout the home.

Bring (or start) your wine collection here; the lovely wet bar features dramatic wine storage to showcase all your carefully curated bottles.

The large walk-in pantry is especially handy when you’re prepping for a big party, but you’ll appreciate the extra space every day. Same is true of the upstairs entertaining spaces; one room for the adults and another for the kids offers flexibility that gives families the option of togetherness, or a little space apart.

The elegant first-floor bedroom suite is a beautiful place to enjoy a little quiet time away from the busyness of the day. Here, an expansive view of the back yard is a perfect backdrop for your morning cup of coffee or an afternoon with a great novel.

Your year-round wardrobe fits easily in the generous walk-in closet. The his-and-her bathroom (check out the amazing shower!) will remind you of your favorite five-star hotel.

The rest of the family – and guests – are also well taken care of in the Ballantyne. Nicely sized bedrooms provide big closets and en suite bathrooms, with a smart layout that gives everyone his or her privacy.

Every which way you turn you’ll notice how the spaces throughout the home are so well-planned: warm and comfortable, with every detail considered to make the most of both function and beauty. Niches for art and furniture. Soaring ceilings with beautiful architectural details. A deep, sheltered porch.

You’ll see a designer’s touch in the Ballantyne. You’ll see the architectural skill, and the builder’s craft. And you might also see yourself at home here, as well.

The inspiration for the Keystone is all around you. The old growth forests.

The long-range mountain views. Rocky outcrops. This residence reflects the beauty of its natural surroundings; you’ll sense it as you approach the home, beginning with the mosaic stonework facade, naturally stained cedar shakes, and double mahogany doors.

As you step into the foyer, you are visually drawn through to the heart of the home. Grand vistas are a hallmark of the Carolinas, and the Keystone follows suit, with an open floor plan designed to make the most of your views.

The easy flow between great room, casual dining, and well-appointed kitchen is augmented by architectural details that add to the open airy feeling, from the barrel vaulted ceiling above the large kitchen island, to the walls of glass doors that slide gracefully out of sight. Follow your gaze outdoors; the wraparound porch entices you to live a true indoor-outdoor life. Entertaining takes on a new dimension as you and your guests glide back and forth between the great room, the kitchen, and the outdoor spaces.

Speaking of entertaining, you’re sure to make good use of this kitchen’s very unexpected and very appreciated feature: a large prep room hidden behind the kitchen cabinetry. Part pantry, part second kitchen, this room accommodates a second refrigerator, plus plenty of room for storage and staging when you have a big group over.

After folks have gone home you can escape to the luxurious master suite.

Relax in the freestanding tub and enjoy 180-degree views of the beautiful outdoors. Your master suite is a lovely place to start the day, as well. The oversized shower, his-and-her vanities, and a well-designed dressing room allow the two of you to get ready in the morning without bumping into each other.

The main level also offers the convenience of an arrival center connecting the garages to the kitchen, and a lovely den just off the foyer that serves as your home office, or as a cozy television room. Now come downstairs for even more.

Two en suite bathrooms assure that family or houseguests will be comfortable in their own private space. Relax or entertain on this level with the wellplaced wet bar, a broad walk-out porch, and ample room for your billiards table and a home theater. High ceilings add to the comfortable and spacious feel.

Can a home meet all the practical needs of a busy, active family yet still satisfy your desire for a home that is sophisticated and luxurious? The Caswell is proof that the answer is a resounding “yes!”

The two-story foyer makes an impressive first impression. The drama continues in the lines of the sweeping staircase, which are echoed in the curves of the wet bar; each add to the stylish appeal of your home.

Space is always top of the wish list, and the Caswell feels especially spacious, thanks to the open floor plan and high ceilings. It also lives large, thanks to generous square footage and details designed to make the most of your space.

Furniture niches to help accommodate your larger pieces. Storage tucked under the curving staircase. An amazing attic space that is ready for your imagination.

A large linen room and ample guest suite. A master bath with his-and-her vanities, deep freestanding tub, and oversized shower. A large walk-in closet with built-ins and a full-length three-way mirror. And a kitchen that is more than meets the eye.

While you may fall in love with the kitchen’s gourmet features, you’ll also appreciate how its beauty is more than skin-deep. The oversized island is the ideal spot for morning coffee or afternoon homework; it also boasts cabinets on two sides for added storage. And then there’s the spacious walk-in pantry, hidden within the cabinetry. Only you know the location of the secret door; it’s certainly a wow factor when you reveal it to guests.

Guests will also be impressed with the inviting outdoor living area. The great room’s sliding glass doors disappear with a push so the party can easily flow outside.

The Caswell treats guests beautifully. It’s also very accommodating day in and day out.

If laundry day seems to be every day, then you deserve a lovely place to get the chore done. Just off the kitchen is a perfectly placed utility room, with a utility sink, cabinetry, granite countertops, hanging areas, and extra storage.

Those perfect little details continue to add up. There’s the window-lined den that offers plenty of natural light, perfect for working from home or relaxing with a book. A second floor offers two additional en suite bedrooms, plus a bonus room for additional family and entertaining space.

Natural materials and traditional touches artfully converge in the magnificent Lexington. There’s much to admire in this lovely residence, so take your time. Sit for a spell on the covered front porch and relax. Take in the gorgeous facade, with its cedar shutters, bronze accents, elegant stone and brick. Now come inside.

If first impressions are important to you, this house delivers the moment you step into the two-story vaulted foyer. Your first impression is confirmed as you note the wet bar’s most dramatic feature: a ledgestone feature wall with a vertical stainless steel wine rack system. It’s a spectacular way to display several dozen of your favorite bottles of wine, and a beautiful detail to set the tone for the entire main floor.

Other architectural features will immediately catch your eye. The great room’s ceiling detail is a modern twist on the traditional recessed ceiling.

Stacked ledgestone rises to the ceiling above the stained wood mantel of the fireplace, providing drama to the great room, and subtly reflecting the wet bar materials. Ten-foot sliding glass doors create a wall of glass that offer unobstructed views, and then slide away to allow unobstructed access to the outdoor living area.

A sliding “barn door” opens off the foyer to reveal a den with a cozy sitting area for reading or relaxing, as well as a step-up study for your desk. Working at home just got a little more enticing.

But this home is also about a relaxed and comfortable lifestyle. Forget the formal dining room; you and your guests will love this open and elegant layout that’s perfect for entertaining. You’ll also slip right into the groove of family life here, with a stunning kitchen that keeps the chef in the heart of the action, a really special back porch that will beckon you outdoors every nice day, and an upstairs club room that’s the perfect getaway space for a game of pool. Rather relax with a movie marathon? The adjacent media room is the perfect spot for that.

On the main level, your master suite is a stunner, with its vaulted ceiling and box beams. The drama continues in the master bath, with a dozen elegant touches from the exquisite marble countertops to the showcase two-person shower. The three upstairs bedrooms offer plenty of room for your growing family, or for a houseful of guests.

With the Asheville we’ve brought some fresh ideas to Knoxville; this residence is full of features you may not have seen in other homes in the area. So if you’ve always appreciated originality and uniqueness, then the Asheville may tick a lot of boxes for you.

As you step into the two-story foyer, you’ll immediately get a luxurious sense of openness. The feeling is airy and grand and sets the tone for the entire residence. From here, the open concept draws you through to the heart of the home where the beautiful great room, morning room, and kitchen work in harmony. The natural flow and ease of the layout is ideal for everyday living, and for entertaining, as well.

Speaking of entertaining, the wine room and perfectly positioned wet bar may spark some ideas. The pocket doors slide out of view to allow for seamless indoor/outdoor living. When you’re entertaining, the party can flow naturally out onto the lovely porch. Or for evenings when it’s just you and your family, this is the perfect place for an outdoor meal.

A large utility room just off the kitchen is an important hub that helps keep the house functioning. It’s your pleasant light-filled laundry room and a convenient arrival center.

In fact, the entire home functions beautifully for families, or for empty nesters who expect a lot of guests. You’ll enjoy a luxurious master suite and private den downstairs. Wind your way up the elegant curving staircase to an amazing setup: a second-floor bonus room, plus three additional bedrooms (each with private bath, of course).

The bonus room is a wonderful, just out-of-the flow gathering space; its placement also serves to provide extra privacy to each of the bedrooms. As you picture yourself here, imagine what you might do with all the extra options the second floor provides. The vaulted space could be your future exercise room.

The unfinished attic space could be … ? It’s up to you.

The Asheville is lovely without being stuffy; it is spacious yet still feels comfortable. Here, a hundred fine details quietly add up to create a home that is elegant and impressive, yet casual and relaxing at the same time.

Designed to maximize the outdoor view while also making the most of the indoor charm, the Franklin offers casual elegance and a lovely environment for enjoying time spent with family and friends.

“Open” is a word that comes to mind in this home. So is “interactive.” The floor plan’s flow means you’re a part of the action, whether you’re mixing up a pitcher of cocktails while your guests are chatting in front of the fireplace, or you’re enjoying a cup of coffee on the back porch while the kids are making pancakes.

The open kitchen with its beautiful custom cabinetry and designer appliances would be the envy of chefs everywhere, but it’s the subtle details that might not be immediately apparent that will win you over. Take the soft-close drawers, for instance. Or the adjacent utility room that serves multiple duty – arrival center, laundry room, and craft center. And then there’s the amazing concealed pantry that offers storage for staples and smaller kitchen appliances, not to mention a second refrigerator that comes in extra handy for holidays and other entertaining occasions.

You don’t have to wait for those special occasions to appreciate how the great room’s wall of glass doors slides away to create a seamless indoor-outdoor space; you’ll enjoy the expansive feel of your living space every day. And while the wet bar, with its wine cooler, display cabinets, and inviting seating makes dinner parties easy and fun, it’s a pretty nice feature to have all the time.

For quieter days, the private den off the main entrance is perfectly situated for a home office, or as a place to hibernate with a good book. The main floor master suite is another getaway place, and where you might head to relax after a long day.

You’ll relish the luxury and privacy it affords, from the light-filled sitting area in the bedroom to the bathroom’s beautiful freestanding tub, double vanities, and oversized walk-in shower. The closet amply accommodates his-and-her wardrobes.

The Franklin’s upper level is tailor-made for at-home children as well as visiting guests. Here you’ll find all the space you need: three en suite bedrooms, a bright and roomy bonus room, and an amazing finished flex space over the garage that you can use (and transform) through the years. Teen hang-out now, private exercise room later, perhaps.

Old World charm gets a refresh with the updated Asheville floor plan and exceptional modern features.

You’ll love spending time in the heart of this home: an expansive great room that opens to your luxurious kitchen, where a center island offers abundant seating for casual dining, and enough counter space to serve as a buffet for formal or informal gatherings. For your larger parties, this kitchen’s hidden asset comes into play: a spectacular walk-in pantry artfully concealed behind a full-height door in the cabinetry.

The porch that spans the rear of the home is an outdoor oasis that you may choose to customize with a fireplace, or an outdoor kitchen, or both.

It’s the perfect spot for casual dining, and when you slide back the pocketing glass doors, it becomes an extension of your living space. This lovely blend of indoor and outdoor comfort makes the Asheville an amazing home for entertaining guests and family. And for everyday enjoyment, it doesn’t get any better than this.

Another wonderful everyday feature is the utility room, a large multipurpose room that functions as a laundry room, a project room, and arrival center.

The den’s location at the back of the home is a thoughtful decision that allows you to take full advantage of the golf course views. On the other side of the home is the luxurious master suite, with his-and-her closets with built-ins suitable for a vast wardrobe. There are plenty of luxuries in the home, and the master bath is one of them, with its freestanding tub and an elegant walk-in shower that’s an architectural focal point.

Now ascend via the dramatic curving staircase to a whole other level of comfortable, elegant living. The second floor opens up to a spacious bonus room with vaulted beam ceiling; it’s your second living room, your home theater, or an amazing game room. Three additional bedroom suites, arranged around the bonus room to offer extra space and privacy, elegantly accommodate family and guests. A few steps down is a large space that’s perfect for your home gym or hobby room.

As you stand in the soaring foyer and admire the dining room’s architectural grace notes, or imagine your prized bottles displayed so beautifully behind the curvaceous wine bar, or lift your eyes to the great room’s dramatic ceiling details, what words come to mind? Elegance? Style? Wow? Or maybe, the word is simply “yes.”

Yes, I can see myself in that gourmet kitchen preparing appetizers as our guests mingle all around me. Yes, I can picture movie night with the family in the upstairs bonus room. Yes, I can imagine grilling outdoors every weekend.

Yes, I love the luxury of the master suite!

Walk through and appreciate the gorgeous ceiling details. The very practical niches for furnishings and art. The light that floods in through the generous use of glass.

The Caswell is much more than its first impression, of course. You’ll appreciate life here more and more every day. Busy family life functions superbly when you have a feature like the spacious arrival center/utility room with a large center island for folding clothes, sorting out backpacks, or doing craft projects. Just around the corner, disguised within the kitchen cabinetry, is the door to your hidden walk-in pantry, where you can stock up on groceries.

A deep, covered back porch expands your living space. Family and guests will naturally flow outdoors when you push back the glass doors to open up the great room to this lovely outdoor entertaining area.

Indeed, the main floor has been designed to offer a casual yet elegant lifestyle. Your luxurious master suite and den are situated on one side of the main floor, and a guest suite is on the other side, to ensure a little extra comfort and privacy for everyone. Find your sanctuary in your very comfortable master bedroom and bath; enjoy the den tucked away just off the foyer, where you can retreat and gently close the sliding doors.

The second floor provides even more family, guest, and relaxing and recreational space. The bonus room with wet bar was designed to accommodate the biggest of flat screens or projection televisions. There’s plenty of room for a game table, too. Unfinished attic space provides all the storage you will need, and also beckons you to imagine other uses for all this extra square footage.

Bright and airy, with views to spare, every room of the Franklin (even the pantry!) is infused with natural light and beauty.

Sometimes, it’s what’s outside that counts. And if you should select the Franklin based solely on the appeal of this home’s outdoor living, you won’t be the first to fall in love with the Franklin from the outside in.

A deep covered porch creates a cozy yet amply-sized space for dinner as well as after-dinner conversations. You can step right outside and quickly change your environment. Or, you can open up the entire great room by pushing the glass doors out-of-sight, and transform the entire first floor living area into one beautiful, flowing space. Should you decide to embellish the space with a wraparound deck and add an outdoor kitchen, we applaud your style.

As you step inside, your eyes are drawn through the home to the expansive view through the great room’s full-height glass doors. Meanwhile, sunshine streams in over your shoulder from the second-story window gracing the soaring foyer. Your eyes are also drawn up – to the rounded tray ceiling in the dining room, and the dramatic beams in the great room.

Back to that sunny pantry. It doesn’t just boast a window, it boasts plenty of room – even enough for a second refrigerator. You’ll love all that extra space because this is a home that invites entertaining. A stunning wet bar makes a beautiful first impression from the foyer, and is situated in the heart of the action. The large center island of your gourmet kitchen is the perfect perch for guests as you assemble the appetizers.

The rest of the home is as functionally rich and well-appointed. The arrival center, with tons of storage and ample workspace will be your favorite laundry/hobby/project room. The master suite is complete with a luxurious bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub, plus an amazing four-season walkin closet. The den located just off the foyer is an ideal at-home office, or a quiet first-floor retreat.

The second floor offers possibilities for you to customize to your particular needs. Bedroom suites for the children, with a bonus room for games or homework or family movie night. Or if you’re an empty nester, the second floor becomes a lovely, private guest quarters when company comes.

Lower Level

.

The rolling terrain of South Carolina was certainly in the designer’s mind when it was time to sit down and draw plans for the Sycamore. The main level’s open floor plan and soaring ceilings make the most of the views. Just a short flight down, a cozy and comfortable lower level with walk-out terrace offers a lovely and relaxing space that optimizes a sloping site.

This is a home that can grow with your family. The upstairs bonus room is the perfect playroom for younger children, and a homework station later…or a home theater any time you choose. The downstairs rec room is a great spot for the family to get together, and is a close-by place for teens to play a game of pool while parents entertain or relax upstairs.

The well-appointed kitchen, the casual dining room, and open, airy great room flow together and open out onto the covered porch through glass pocket doors, creating a comfortable, relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The oversized island might become one of your favorite places, for a cup of coffee with the morning paper, or for entertaining guests during dinner preparation. If you need a quiet place to work or just to spend some time with a good book, the den is your spot; its vestibule offers extra separation between you and the household activity. Your master suite is another sanctuary, with a dramatic vaulted ceiling in the beautiful bedroom, and luxurious details in the spectacular master bath.

Children and guests alike have their choice of bedroom suites. There are two on the second floor, on opposite sides of the bonus room, so everyone truly feels as if they have their own space. There’s another bedroom tucked away on the lower level. Your guests or an older child might appreciate having this level all to themselves.

In the Sycamore, luxury is matched by practicality. There’s amazing pantry and storage space. A very functional arrival center is located right off the three-car garage. It’s the place you’ll unpack groceries or unload the kids’ backpacks; where you’ll stow away soccer gear and golf clubs, and wash and fold the laundry. Then there are the dramatic ceiling embellishments, strategic sight lines, architectural niches, and savvy details that make the home just feel right – and function even better.

Southern charm is the inspiration behind the Asheville, a warm and gracious residence that provides the lifestyle you’ve been looking for, both indoors and outdoors.

The heart of this exceptional home is the great room-kitchen-casual dining room. The open floor plan not only offers dramatic sight lines, but offers a lovely and easy flow for a quiet evening at home with the family, or for those occasions when you have guests. A curvaceous walk-through bar displays your wine collection and is strategically and centrally located.

In your gourmet kitchen, family or friends can join you at the oversized center island to keep you company as you cook. Push back the pocketing sliding glass doors to bring the outdoors in, changing up the atmosphere and instantly enlarging your living and entertaining environment.

The Asheville is rich in architectural details, from the dramatic two-story foyer with its stunning turning staircase to the vaulted ceilings in the den and bonus room. There’s also an array of practical details that add to the comfort quotient of life in the Asheville. There’s the fun and functional “secret” walk-in pantry. A formal dining room for when you want to bring out the good china, and the sun-filled morning room for when you don’t. And then there’s the utility room, an active household’s best friend. Whether you’re folding laundry or sorting backpacks or working on a project, here’s the perfect place to get it all done.

But when the day is over and you’re ready to relax, you have your choice among several quiet spots. Gently close the den’s double doors behind you, and enjoy a comfortable room for reading, or catching up on a little work. Share drinks out on the covered porch as the day turns to evening.

Finally, retire to your sumptuous master suite. The master bath is a dream, with its freestanding tub and grand walk-in shower.

Other family members and guests are well-accommodated here, too. Wind your way up the staircase to the large bonus room, a central gathering space for a game of pool or a night watching movies. The clever placement of the three bedroom suites around this room offers a nice degree of privacy for everyone.

And last, but not least, is the large unfinished attic space – room for your ski gear, holiday decorations, luggage and more.

What makes building with Arthur Rutenberg Homes different?

Almost everything.

The difference begins with the fact that our plan collection is truly alive. It comes to life within our more than 40 fully furnished model homes. You can walk through and experience how functional our floor plans are, and see firsthand the level of quality in the workmanship. All of the finishes shown are included in the price. And, you don’t have to try to imagine how a blueprint might translate into three dimensions; you can see it.

The model also serves as the ideal environment for learning about you and your specific wants and needs. We listen to you to get an accurate idea of what you want in your new home, so we can guide you toward the right solution.

Identifying a plan from our collection is a good jumping-off point. We have an extensive collection of award-winning designs from which to select. And, since we’ve already covered the cost of developing these plans, you’ll enjoy considerable savings.

Walking the lot is another step that is crucial. We make sure we understand the dynamics of each lot and take all site conditions into account, so we can have an intelligent conversation about how your plan fits, and the type of foundation needed.

We can also help you find a lot if you don’t already have one.

Generally, we’ll be able to identify a plan which is exactly or very close to what you want. But what if you really like one model’s floor plan, and fall in love with another model’s master suite? Or would like to move the den to the other side of the house? Or swap out that third garage space for a downstairs playroom? That’s easy.
