Palm Coast, Florida – Machin Design Builders is proud to announce that they have received the “Grand Award” for their entry in Flagler County’s 2007 Parade of Homes.  The home received the Realtor’s Choice Award, as well.  The annual builders event, held April 21st through May 6th this year, gave the public an opportunity to discover the newest trends in homes – from architectural design to energy-efficient products, interior design to outdoor room concepts.

Machin’s entry this year, the Yorkshire model, is a magnificent home in Hammock Dunes, and is something of a departure from most Florida homes because of its lighter English/French style.  The lush exterior features pergola covered paver  patios and quaint winding paver walkways leading to seating areas over looking Monterey Lake.  Inside, there are gorgeous views from every room, and an open, airy layout that provides a seamless flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces.  Water surrounds three sides of the home, giving every room a view of the lake.

The distinctive interior is highlighted by stunning custom carpentry, including a wood-moulding barrel ceiling in the foyer, custom woodwork throughout, and a traditional English Pine study hand-built by a local cabinet maker.  Other striking features include the wood and stone fireplace in the family room, the English Country kitchen and two luxurious Owner’s Suites.

The home is situated on a cul-de-sac, ensuring privacy, while the exquisite landscaping and screened pool and spa provide the sense of a relaxing retreat.

Over 1,000 people visited The Yorkshire, and reactions were enthusiastic to say the least. Guest comments included, “It’s the prettiest home in the tour”, “Totally different from anything I’ve seen in this area”, “Calming, light, open and serene.” Visitors returned three and four times, some staying for almost an hour as they lingered out by the water’s edge on the teak benches, enjoying the views.

The stunning debut of The Yorkshire is made even more dramatic since Machin Design Builders decided to enter it in the Parade of Homes less than six weeks before the judging took place.  The pressure increased with the knowledge that every other time Machin has entered the Parade of Homes, they’ve won.

Machin’s “Grand” accomplishment is thanks to their tradespeople, vendors and superior craftsman, who worked tirelessly to make The Yorkshire a show place.  Special recognition is due for Janet Arnstein, Machin’s in-house interior designer, who worked days, nights and weekends to furnish the model.  Also appreciated, Machin’s uncompromising field superintendents who ensured that everything was perfect down to the last detail.

The Yorkshire at Hammock Dunes is offered at $1,925,000, but can be built on any private home site starting at $923,000.

Machin Design Builders crafts custom and semi-custom homes throughout Flagler County, in gated communities such as Hammock Dunes, Island Estates, Ocean Hammock, and Hammock Beach.

In order to focus on every detail and provide superior customer service, Machin limits the number of homes they build.  The excellence and innovation, imagination and dedication of Machin Design Builders places them among the luxury homebuilder elite in Florida.
