Coming soon to the Triangle!! Martha's Stewart is teaming w/KB Homes to build Single Family Residential and townhomes in Cary, NC.  If you've followed Martha Stewart through the years you will know that she is a wizard when it comes to decorating, cooking, gardening and entertaining. 

KB Home created a joint venture with Martha Stewart for a line of houses carrying her name that KB Homes has built and marketed. KB Home began selling the Martha Stewart designed homes in early 2006 in a development called Twin Lakes in Cary, N.C., a fast-growing, middle-market suburb of Raleigh.

KB Home and Martha Stewart Living initially plan to build 650 houses. The homes are inspired by three of Ms. Stewart's own houses in New York and Maine, have names such as "Katonah" and "Lily Pond."

The houses are meant to evoke the splendor of prosperous suburbia, though Ms. Stewart's homes typically sit on huge tracts of land and are worth millions of dollars. Still, one version of Martha's KB home designs has an exterior that resembles the outside of Ms. Stewart's Bedford, N.Y., estate, and it comes with up to six bedrooms and a third floor, which is common in older, affluent communities on the East Coast. Other design characteristics include high ceilings and particularly large laundry rooms and closets.

Unlike most KB Homes, which are typically one- or two-story structures with simple features, the "Martha" homes have as many as 4,100 square feet, offer high-end features and range in price from just over $200,000 for the Townhomes to about $450,000 for the Single Family Homes.   I've done a detailed Twin Lakes Neighborhood profile but KB Home will not allow cameras inside their model homes to take pictures of the interior. 

Martha Stewart's partnership with KB Home attracted 3,400 interested consumers during its opening weekend and sold out its first 100-home phase in Cary, N.C., within a week.  Martha Stewart is the queen of Marketing and I predict this neighborhood will be huge success.
