We do not.

Each of our homes come with a dishwasher, cooktop, oven, microwave, sink with disposal, primary tub, and vent hood. Refrigerators are not included, except for some cases in our Shepherd’s Creek Community.

A pre-sale is when you choose an available home site, floor plan, and selections. Whereas, an inventory home, is one that we have chosen the home site, floor plan, and selections. This home is available for sale at any point during the construction process. If a contract is written early enough in the construction process, there is an opportunity to select finishes only if they have not been chosen or ordered yet.
