Under Construction: A Modern European

Under Construction: A Modern European

Life in downtown Davidson offers a pace that's hard to find elsewhere. Tree-lined streets, locally owned shops and restaurants, Davidson College, and neighbors who know each other by name create the kind of community many people are searching for.

That's exactly what inspired our newest homeowners.

Already longtime Lake Norman residents, they loved the years they spent enjoying waterfront living. But as life evolves, so do priorities. They were ready to trade the lake for a quieter, more walkable lifestyle—one where an evening stroll to Main Street, dinner with friends, or a quick trip to the local farmers market is just part of everyday life.

We're excited to share that we officially broke ground on their custom home in May 2026, just a few blocks from Davidson's iconic Main Street. Located next door to two other Holliday Homes currently under construction, this Modern European is another thoughtfully designed home that reflects the way our clients want to live today.

Modern European Style with Timeless Appeal

Designed with a warm, inviting exterior, this custom home blends classic European architecture with modern details. Soft neutral tones, black-framed windows, and clean architectural lines create a look that feels both timeless and current. The result is a home that complements the charm of downtown Davidson while offering all the comforts of modern living.

From the street, the home makes a welcoming first impression, but it's what's inside that truly reflects the homeowners' lifestyle.

Designed for Everyday Living

One of the hallmarks of a well-designed custom home is making everyday life easier.

This home was thoughtfully planned so everything the homeowners use daily is located on the main floor. The primary suite provides convenient first-floor living, while the open kitchen, dining, and family room create an inviting space for gathering with family and friends.

Just off the kitchen, a dedicated scullery offers additional prep space, storage, and organization—keeping the main kitchen ready for entertaining. The kitchen itself will feature premium Thermador appliances, combining exceptional performance with beautiful design.

Outdoor Living They'll Enjoy Year-Round

The outdoor living spaces will become a natural extension of the home.

A covered side porch will overlook a private backyard featuring a saltwater pool, spa, and fire pit—creating the perfect setting for quiet mornings, weekend cookouts, or evenings spent relaxing with friends.

Whether entertaining guests or enjoying a peaceful evening at home, this backyard is designed to be used throughout the seasons.

Welcoming Family and Friends

While the homeowners will enjoy the convenience of main-level living, the second floor provides comfortable accommodations for visiting family and guests.

Upstairs will include:

Two spacious guest bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom
A dedicated study for working from home or pursuing hobbies
A game room that offers additional space for gathering and relaxing

The thoughtful layout gives everyone their own space while keeping the home connected and welcoming.

A Growing Holliday Homes Neighborhood

One of the exciting aspects of this project is its location.

This home sits next door to two other Holliday Homes currently under construction, creating a beautiful collection of custom homes just a short walk from downtown Davidson. As each home comes to life, they're helping shape a neighborhood where front porches, sidewalks, and walkability encourage genuine connections between neighbors.

It's the kind of community these homeowners were hoping to find—a place where people know each other, friendships grow naturally, and life slows down just enough to enjoy it.

Follow Along as Construction Continues

Construction is just getting started, which means there are still plenty of exciting decisions ahead. Over the coming months, we'll work closely with the homeowners to select finishes, lighting, cabinetry, tile, flooring, and all the custom details that will make this home uniquely theirs.
