Located in Winter Park, Florida, “Virginia Elegance” is a stunning example of transitional home design, blending traditional style with contemporary elements. Its unique features and luxurious finishes made it a standout winner at the International Home Builders’ Show, February 2023!
The Las Vegas awards show focuses on architectural design/build excellence, and is hosted by the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB). This year, Phil Kean Design Group was honored with the 2022 Platinum – Best in American Living Award:
“The outdoor space of this home offers stunning views, with multiple areas around the rear of the home to enjoy them. The variation of options creates a well-balanced exterior and lots of useful options for its residents to relax.”
