Multi-Gen Family Homes
The genesis of this plan is the Victorian Home with a 5' wide
back staircase that reaches each of the home's 6 Distinct, Separate, Private, and Dignified
levels. and in place of a front staircase is a drop zone
thereby creating a truly open floor plan.
We added fireplaces and pizza ovens under the deep-covered wrap-around porches and a list of
features that make Granville a BRAND.
Creating A True Neighborhood
In the early 20th century, Normal Rockwell, an American tour de force illustrator, began painting America the way
he wanted it to be. In a letter to George Lucas (a collector and student of Rockwell's work) from Norman Rockwell
from biographer Marshal Stoltz, "Van foresees a merging of the ideals of Norman's work and the beauty of the
Victorian home as a Planned Victorian community where people can again enjoy neighbors and neighborhoods as
life used to be.
Mitigating Bad Sites
During the Real Estate downturn of the 90's Granville's parent company, Merchant Victorian homes introduced
our All Victorian "Planned Victorian homes". Certain Teed called them "Works of Art". We designed them as
three-generation homes, forerunners of our modern Multi-Generational models, They mitigated poor sites and
today they outperform Zillow estimates and all their neighbors in resale value.
"E-Class Entry Level & Extended family"
The "E" Class includes the Entry level Ella series and the Extended family home Theo's.
These are FLEXIBLE designs where each of the different levels can be easily converted to a single living unit should the need arise.
And every inch of these beautiful homes is efficiently designed to make them relatively affordable.
Victorian Design & Home Ownership With A Purpose
The three home periods described in the Cambridge Handbook of
personal relationships have the Victorian period as the most influential and enduring.
It was America's first family home with beauty, function, and unique
(purposeful) features. We have some fun connecting, what was for us, our favorite movie, and the reminder the most important thing in a home is ..who's in it..
