Summertime is almost here! Kick-off the summer at Poplar-palooza 2010 'LIVE' at Poplar Run in Silver Spring. Poplar Run is one of Maryland’s most outstanding new home communities that feature single family homes and townhomes. This prime location in Montgomery County is one of the last opportunities in the county for buyers to own a new home close to the I-495 capital beltway and downtown DC.

Winchester Homes has been building extraordinary new home communities in Maryland for more than 30 years. Poplar Run continues that tradition with a neighborhood plan that includes tennis courts, community squares, three swimming pools,  a state-of-the-art club house and miles of fitness trails interconnected around the community. One of the big advantages Poplar Run offers is the convenience of being close to major commuter routes like the Inter-County Connector, I-270 and I-95. Plus proposed Ride-On bus service in the community and the Glenmont metro station just a mile away.

Community Address: 13501 Layhill Road, Silver Spring, MD 20906

Directions to Poplar Run: From I-495 N, take exit 31A for MD-97N/Georgia Ave towards Wheaton. Turn right at Georgia Ave/Md-97 and then make a slight right at Layhill Rd. Community entrance will be on the right.

Crowd Pleasing Kitchen

Tuesday, March 30, 2010 by Tom Neff


Click to enlargeWhat happens when homebuyers like the overall floorplan of one home style but LOVE the kitchen layout of another home style? Your Home. Your Way. to the rescue!

By bumping out the kitchen 4' to the rear, the kitchen from one of Winchester's larger home styles was made to fit into the Oxford II floorplan. Wolf professional grade ovens, range and vent hood allow the chef to prepare meals fit for a king or pleasing to the crowd. The large island has ample storage below and plenty of counter space to set out appetizers & drinks. Two dishwashers make cleaning up after the crowd a snap.

Decorative elements include twin casement windows over the sink, Tigerwood solid hardwood flooring, granite countertops and a 2x8" subway tile backsplash. There is no doubt that party guests will end up in the kitchen of this home - and the homeowners
will be ready for them!

Can Your Home. Your Way. Help You Hit The Pop Charts?

Thursday, March 18, 2010 by Tom Neff

Do your 3rd grader’s beginning violin lessons sound like a wailing cat? Did the cops show up at your teen’s garage band practice AGAIN? Or would you just like to get out your old Strat, turn your Marshall Stack to “11” and unleash some screaming guitar solos after the kids have gone to bed?

 

Maybe your family, neighbors and local authorities would appreciate a sound dampening practice room! Usually constructed in the lower level with special building materials and techniques, sound dampening rooms allow a family member to practice their music without disturbing anyone.

 

One recent homeowner at our Riverwood community took the idea a few steps further and used the Your Home. Your Way. program to create an entire custom recording studio complete with a large live room for the band, control room for the recording equipment and two isolation booths to record individual parts separate from the band. The recording studio features sound dampening double walls and Acoustiblok® sound isolation membrane on the walls and ceilings.

 

No word yet on whether the homeowner's recording studio has produced any top 40 singles, but you never know!
