Beauty Meets Brawn
Constructed by builder Genesis Homes by Champion, the NextGen “Urban Living” Home’s appealing design recently earned it the title of the “Best Modular Home under 2,300 square feet” by the National Association of Home Builders’ Building Systems Council.
But don’t be mistaken, this home is not just another pretty face. Built to meet the Institute for Business and Home Safety’s Fortified…for safer living® standard, the NextGen “Urban Living” Home is packed with options that will set a homebuyer’s mind at ease. Starting at the front door, this means the inclusion of the first and only wireless-controlled and Z-Wave enabled door lock by Schlage, a feature that gives homeowners the power to remotely control and monitor access to their home and Z-Wave enabled home automation devices (including cameras for video monitoring) anywhere and at any time.
Walking in, right under your feet you’ll find flooring from Owens Flooring Company that combines the look and performance of solid wood with the stability of engineered flooring in species that range from exotic to traditional. Continuing out onto the deck, you’ll find a product by Millennium Decking that resists rot, stains and fading better than other composite products and offers a 20-year, non-prorated warranty.
Since strength and safety go hand in hand, the “Urban Living” Home incorporates some truly unique home safety features, including the NOAA Weather/All Hazards Radio that alerts homeowners to weather and non-weather civil emergencies – including everything from tornados, hurricanes and earthquakes, to chemical releases or nuclear power plant emergencies, to AMBER alerts. Providing protection in case of a home fire, the firefighter-recommended Permanent Escape and Rescue Ladder (PEARL) is always there when you need it, intelligently recessed into the wall space beneath any second or third story window.
Wrapped around all of these innovative features is an additional layer of strength offered by products such as DECRA®’s stone-coated steel roofing system, and FiberCement Siding by CertainTeed that protects against moisture, fire, insects and UV rays.
The Next Gen “Urban Living” Home will also feature the debut of an exciting new product - XP with Sporgard, the result of the pairing of the leading global fungicide producer, Syngenta, with one of the leading mold-resistant gypsum board manufacturers in the U.S., National Gypsum. XP with Sporgard marries National Gypsum’s Gold Bond® brand XP® family of gypsum board products with Sporgard™ brand mold protection.
From mold, to fires, to everyday wear and tear, the “Urban Living” Home provides the kind of superior protection homebuyers want.
