This house was sold before anything was listed in the Enclave. Pretty much all the homes in Lake Denham are designers. I can't say how this became premiere. I'm really curious how it was originally listed. Perhaps they got the lot and custom build in that area of Lake Denham. When we got ours, they were all built spec homes.

But if you look at it, it's just a big designer home. It has the high ceilings, and the big garage. Other than that really nothing more to it.
That is my question. Was it built when a Sanderling was classified as a designer home? If so, simple dumb luck or the owner of the home is an investor who was privy to the change the Developer was going to make. You may look at it as a Designer home but the Developer now classifies it as premiere. Once the home hits VLS or MLS, it can be sold as a premiere. (even if the owner bought it when it was from the designer series)

BTW: Many premiere homes are simply designer homes with stretches. Some will pay $100,000 + for those added features. Is it worth it? For some buyers, it is.

I was comparing this home to those built in the Enclave because it would have the same cost to build. This home was built a few months earlier than the same model in the Enclave. Cost to build would not increase significantly in a few month time frame.
