Old World Elegance: Davidson County neighborhood is convenient to Clemmons, has an abundance of architectural details

There's something about having stone on a house that lends it instant Old World elegance. Even if the property isn't a sprawling mansion, the inclusion of stone on the exterior immediately ups the visual appeal, and most homeowners are still enamored with the look years down the road.

The builders in Windfield understand the aesthetic value of stone. Throughout the Davidson County community, homes have brick and stone exteriors like those in higher-end developments. However, the homes in Windfield are surprisingly affordable for the amenities, and the convenient location is certain to attract buyers seeking a western Triad address.

"Windfield offers 30-plus acres of natural common area with walking trails, a playground and a gazebo," Kelley said. "An additional playground area with a gazebo will be added later. The homes are mostly all-brick and stone, and feature extensive hardwood floors, and granite and marble countertops. Some of the builders are including features like barrel and coffered ceilings, and are using combinations of wrought iron and wood pickets on the stairways."

The available homes in Windfield offer a variety of floor plans that can accommodate families, retirees, professionals and move-up buyers. There are traditional two-story designs as well as main-level-living plans, and potential buyers will enjoy the assortment of properties and the 10-minute commute to the heart of Clemmons.

"There are 81 homesites in Windfield," said Coldwell Banker Triad, Realtors' Patrick Kelley. "Phase three has great lots available, and there are three lots left in phase one. Five homes are under construction at present."

One of Kelley's listings is an all-brick, three-bedroom home with a rocking-chair front porch tailor-made for relaxation. The home has a screened porch that overlooks a wooded area, and the main-level master allows residents to enjoy the scenery as well. A keeping room off the kitchen makes a great space for family game night or morning coffee, and the bonus room over the garage can be transformed into a playroom or media space. Listed for $272,500, this home offers flexible space and a favorable price point.

Another listing in Windfield will be perfect for growing families. An in-progress project, this two-story traditional has four bedrooms, three baths, a breakfast area and pantry, as well as a formal living room and separate dining room. The upstairs balcony provides a bird's-eye view of the family room below, and the spacious master suite includes a large walk-in closet and master bath with a separate shower and jetted tub. This property lists for $296,000.

An open foyer area leads to 9-foot ceilings at lot 3 in Windfield. Granite countertops, rounded corners, arched doorways and wood floors add style to the main level, and the bonus room allows homeowners to choose between three and four bedrooms. This home lists for $258,900.

"Windfield is in the northwest corner of Davidson County approximately one and a half miles from Clemmons," Kelley said. "Along with the main-level master suites and three- and four-bedroom floor plans, buyers will enjoy half-acre lots, including many that back up to natural areas."
