Our North Carolina mountains are very special and they challenge
us to build beautifully and responsibly within them. Accepting
that responsibility, Creston is governed by thoughtful and thorough
protective covenants and design guidelines. These home design
guidelines are of the same caliber found in the Creston developers'
other properties, creating a unified yet individually expressive
community, as well as offering protection for your investment.
Design Guidelines have been created to maintain a sense of
visual harmony between all homes, whether large or small, and
the natural environment. They define the Creston style and
ensure architectural integrity while allowing a range of personal
expression and homes sizes from cottages to sizable retreats.
Cottage does not necessarily reflect size, but a certain mountain
style and quality. Integrated into the neighborhoods of North
Carolina mountain towns are "cottages" of the Craftsman,
Bungalow, Post and Beam, and New England Shingle style. Log
homes certainly are a part of this mountain heritage and enrich
the diversity.
The Creston Design Guidelines encourage cottage and cabin “styles” while
requiring high quality design and materials, ensuring style
and quality that will endure long after the first generation
of homeowners come and go.
