I can't see the attachments either. But I did just close on a Premier home in Water's Edge. I can confirm that you don't get anything particularly special architecturally compared with a designer home.

The outside looks just like a designer.

The inside has 10' ceilings throughout, and 8' doors, but otherwise the finishes are the same as a designer. Same flooring, same appliances, same cabinets, same countertops.

The home is bigger than most designers. Mine is 2700SF 4/3.

The lots are bigger. It doesn't seem it, because the house is bigger and there typically a pool and bird cage taking up space but they are. My lot is 0.27 acres.

Most, if not all, premier homes are on view lots. I big part of the price comes from that.

My house has a big bird cage and pool and much of the price premium comes from that.

My house cost $852K. When you dial in the value of the pool, and view, the larger lot, the bigger house (assuming one values those things which I do) it feels like a good deal and I am happy. But as far offering special architectural details......not so much. Looks like every house on the street.
