Christopher Homes

This distinctive luxury production home was designed to appeal to affluent singles, empty nesters and second-home buyers. The Erte model is designed to offer the homeowner virtually maintenance-free living while maintaining the privacy promised by a detached home. The open floor plan emphasizes its orientation to the outdoors with all the living areas having access to an interior courtyard or the rear terrace. The Erte features such upscale design elements as coffered ceilings, sculpted columns and built-in display niches. While living space is concentrated on the main floor, the home includes a second-floor study that can be converted into a secondary master suite. The exterior design reflects a Santa Barbara architectural style that is available in a choice of four elevations.
