Experience the Hagood Difference: Efficient Use of Space

Posted on April 10, 2020January 5, 2023 by hagood_homes_dev

We pride ourselves on thoughtful design of each and every space in our homes. This strategy yields a home where the whole is truly greater than the sums of its parts. Every inch of a Hagood home is used, without a nook or cranny of space wasted.

Listen to Sales Manager Hannah Tew explain about the efficient use of space in our homes.

Here are just a few of the ways that we are maximizing space in our homes :

Open floorplan of common areas, including kitchen living and dining areas
Eliminate unnecessary walls and halls to maximize space
Strategically located and designed drop zone in every home
Custom pantry shelving maximizes space for storage
Custom kitchen cabinetry that provides ample space for cookware
Built-out attics that provide maximum use of second-story space and easy access to storage

You can learn more about these aspects of our efficient use of space in our blog article Maximizing Space to Maximize Your Life.

A Room for All Seasons

Posted on April 9, 2020 by hagood_homes_dev

Four season rooms, also called sunrooms, loggia or Carolina rooms, are growing in popularity among today’s buyers. While many builders offer this amenity, Hagood’s coastal luxury homes have sunrooms that are built to stand the test of time and improve overall home value.

Bring the Outdoors in with a Four Seasons Room

Our four seasons rooms are covered porches with glass sides instead of screens. These rooms create an outdoor feel and offer enhanced nature views, all while providing protection from the elements. Sunrooms are growing in popularity because they expand a home’s livability. Plus, a sunroom adds to the overall value of the home by increasing its total heated square footage for much less than it would cost to enlarge an interior common room.

Hagood Four Seasons Rooms

At Hagood, we take our sunrooms a step further than other builders. The only common element that our sunrooms share with other builders’ four seasons rooms are their windows. These rooms typically feature 6-foot sliding windows with screens, as well as 1-foot upper- and lower-fixed transoms.

Other builders treat their sunrooms as porch conversions. Their sunrooms have exterior lap siding on the walls, vinyl ceilings and separate “mini-split” HVAC systems. These heating and cooling systems typically have a small heat pump located just outside the room and an air handler mounted on the wall near the ceiling … not a very efficient or attractive option.

Hagood “finishes” our four seasons rooms like the inside of our homes, with spray foam insulation, drywall ceiling and walls, engineered wood floors, interior trim to match the home, and outlets in the baseboards.

Many of our clients replace the exterior 8-foot sliding patio door with attractive French doors. These doors provide a nicer visual separation between the great room and the four seasons room for a more seamless flow.

We also upgrade the main HVAC to an 18 SEER Trane XV system with a separate thermostat and variable speed fan motor. This allows the sunroom to be heated or cooled without dumping excess air to another part of the house that doesn’t need it. The 18 SEER Trade VX system is extremely quiet, with its vents and air return mounted in the ceiling, just like the inside of our homes. The best part is that this system lasts far longer than a mini-split HVAC, requires less maintenance and saves you more than a $1,000 a year in heating and cooling costs!

Start Your Home Building Journey

Our four seasons rooms are just another example of how Hagood Homes elevates our homes’ value with our attention to detail. Since 1996, all our homes have been designed and built with quality and originality in mind. If you are looking for your dream home or planning to retire to the Carolinas, we’d love to assist in your home buying journey.

Becoming Part of the Hagood Family: Why Our Residents Love Catherine’s Cove

Posted on April 3, 2020 by hagood_homes_dev

We sold the very first Hagood Home in Catherine’s Cove in December 2018. We’re excited to announce that almost half the homes have been sold in our exclusive Wilmington new home community. So now that homeowners are going through the homebuilding process with us, or they are now residents settled in and experiencing the livability of their new home firsthand, we decided to check in and find out how they’re feeling about their Hagood homes!

Jessica C., Our Very First Resident

“I have lived in my Hagood home for a little over a year now, but it already feels like my forever home. Everything about the house just works for our family! The main living space is open and functional, it works equally well for family time and entertaining. The bedrooms and office are comfortable and well-situated. The quality of the home is
superb! And Hagood is just always there for us!

I love living in my new home! I appreciate the aesthetics of the Catherine’s Cove neighborhood and the exterior of my home in particular. The lines of my house, the front porch and the landscaping all contribute to its curb appeal and charm. On the inside the layout is functional, comfortable and adaptable. The windows are well placed, large and capture the natural light. The finishes are both beautiful and welcoming. I use every room in the house; there is no wasted space! It has been a pleasure to work with Hagood! They are proactive and helpful, and take their commitment to building both homes and community to heart.”

Ellen C.

Amazed by the kitchen and family room layout, the Fort Fisher Cove plan caught the eyes of judges and hundreds of attendees alike as it received the coveted gold award for the 2019 Parade of Homes. It also caught the eyes of Jim and Ellen C., a couple retiring from Maryland, and the rest is history!

“We moved here from Annapolis, Maryland, in June 2019. We were looking for an area that was a little less harsh than the winters we have up north. We love the beach but did not want to go as far as Florida. We visited Wilmington multiple times and just fell in love with the people and the area. Plus, it is more retirement-friendly than Maryland.

Catherine’s Cove is a great development. The neighbors are honestly the most welcoming and kind people. I will add that they are a fun group to hang out with.

I love my Hagood home because it is built with such quality and solidly built together. Jim just mentioned this morning about how the electrician was very meticulous in his work. He noticed the screws were all positioned in the same direction. I also love that my double sliding doors offer extra inside/outside living space. In addition, great insulation results in lower electric bills.

Our experience with Hagood Homes has been amazing. We have dealt with builders back in Maryland and, at times, it has been a real nightmare. Hagood Homes is by far the best builder that we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. They are very easy to work with and truly care about the product they produce. They are family!”

Lisa M.

Lisa is a new homebuyer who is currently in the building process at Catherine’s Cove. As a real estate professional, she knows the business firsthand and has seen homes from all the leading builders in Wilmington. We’re proud that she chose a Hagood home and Catherine’s Cove!

Step Inside the Cape Lookout: Study & Utility Hallway

Posted on April 2, 2020 by hagood_homes_dev

Our newest plan, the Cape Lookout, is getting a lot of attention and great feedback from homebuyers. This plan incorporates signature Hagood Homes features as well as several design enhancements that buyers are asking for today.

Main Floor Study

Check out Sales Manager Josh Adams’ virtual walk-through of the study in the Cape Lookout:

One of the main layout features that differentiates the Cape Lookout from other plans is the main floor study, which is just off the foyer. In other plans, this space has served as a formal dining room.

We received feedback from our clients that they rarely used the space for formal dining. The Carolina room off the kitchen and our large oversized islands provided plenty of space for enjoying meals. This customer-driven change enabled us to increase the size of the Carolina room so that it is now a 12-foot by12-foot dining area just off the kitchen toward the back of the home.

Utility Hallway

Check out Sales Manager Josh Adams’ virtual walk-through of the utility hallway in the Cape Lookout:

The utility hallway is probably not be the sexiest aspect of our homes. However, this area is where so many everyday activities take place. From laundry to food storage to answering nature’s call, the utility hallway in the Cape Lookout is designed to maximize efficiency and improve the flow of day-to-day tasks that occur in your home.

Walk-In Pantry: The large walk-in pantry offers ample storage for food, dry goods and other miscellaneous items. Like other Hagood homes, the pantry features motion-activated lights.
Powder Room: Not only is there a full guest bathroom on the main floor, but there is also a separate powder room for guests.
Drop Zone: Our signature drop zone is a must-have in the Cape Lookout’s utility hallway. Clients love using this custom built-in for quick storage and to access on-the-go items such as handbags, coats and keys.
Open Staircase: Based on client feedback we opted for an open staircase in the Cape Lookout’s utility hallway. The stairs lead to the upstairs retreat with full bathroom.
Separate Laundry: Another feature buyers are asking for is a separate laundry, rather than a walk-through laundry area off the garage. This provides a little more privacy when you may have a few loads stacked up. With this feature, not every person using the garage exterior access has to go through the laundry area.

Experience the Hagood Difference: Interior Character

Posted on March 31, 2020 by hagood_homes_dev

When you think of a home with character, it’s not just one specific feature that comes to mind. Rather it is a collection of features that creates a sense of refinement, uniqueness and hand-crafted care.

To the untrained eye, these added features may not be immediately obvious. At Hagood Homes, we aim to have our attention-to-detail seem effortless. But behind the scenes, we spend hours and hours curating the perfect touches that elevate the living spaces in our homes.

Watch Sales Manager Josh Adams showcase some of the interior features that illustrate what Hagood character is all about.

When it comes to designing character into our homes, we have a secret weapon: Troy Kenny, our multi-award-winning designer. Troy designs every Hagood Home and her ability to integrate character features into our homes is unparalleled.

Below are just a few of the interior features that add character to our homes:

Volume or coffered ceilings
10-foot ceilings on first floor
Oversized 8-foot doors off the main living area
Large 6-foot tall windows
Double stud pocket windows
Custom trim packages
Heavy millwork
Pediment details over feature windows
Wainscoting in two rooms
Custom built-ins
Exposed beams
Custom drop zone for “on-the-go” items

You can learn more about other character features found in Hagood homes in our blog post Defining Hagood Character.

We invite you to stop by and take a tour of this new construction home located at 8611 Alder Grove Drive in Leland, NC.

A Welcoming Entry

A large, covered and welcoming front porch is one low country architectural design feature that we love incorporating in our homes.

The sloping roof, supported by columns, provides protection from the elements and makes the porch the perfect spot to greet guests, read a good book or enjoy a cocktail while watching the sunset.

The kitchen features premium KitchenAid appliances, including double built-in ovens and a separate beverage cooler. Crown molding, Shaker base molding and custom cabinets with quartz countertops, under-mount lighting, and pegged dish organizers are just some of the included features that set the Cape Lookout apart from other homes in Compass Pointe.
