New Home Construction Surges at River Dunes in Oriental North Carolina
New Bern, North Carolina (PRWEB) July 27, 2013 -- River Dunes reports a 10% increase in the total number of homes built this year at its award winning North Carolina coastal community. Launched in 2006, River Dunes developers had prioritized construction of the community's amenities including a world-class deepwater Marina, Grace Harbor, along with a Harbor Club featuring fine and casual dining, resort-style swimming pool overlooking the marina and fireside hot tubs and cabanas, six Guest Cottages, and charming Grace Chapel, all of which set the tone for this Inner Banks marina community.
Now with the sluggish real estate recession in America’s rear view window, buyer confidence has returned and building momentum is surging at River Dunes. In fact, by Thanksgiving, five more custom homes will be completed by River Dunes Master Home builders. Architectural styles and details draw from historic Tidewater and coastal cottage construction.
Historical Concepts, an award-winning architectural firm based in Atlanta, has designed the amenities and some of the homes at River Dunes. Many of the Harbor Village homes at River Dunes have unobstructed water views of the marina and entrance channel, allowing residents to sit on their porches and watch as boats come and go on its “yachting boulevard”. Jim Strickland, a principal of Historical Concepts, has commented that River Dunes is a beautiful canvas to watch unfold as it becomes more and more well-known as a top boating destination and neighborhood on the North Carolina Inner Banks.
