Most custom neighborhoods have personalized front elevations such as
turrets, bay windows, elaborate front doors, and various offsets on the
front elevation. These homes are nice in appearance but in their
neighborhood they stand alone. Their neighbors could be in a
Traditional, Modern, Victorian, Contemporary, Spanish, or Colonial house
that bears no common thread to the neighbor's homes in some formation of a
classic architectural gallery of homes. The "M" street homes near SMU, the
neighboring English cottages to TCU, or the fine Tudors of Kessler Park in
Oak Cliff all share this common thread. Just like
the themed amusement parks, Sherwood Forest wants to be remembered by the
visiting public. Just like them, we have features that share a common bond
of design and architecture. Unlike the stand alone home in other
custom neighborhoods, Sherwood Forest Garden Homes all have common exterior
features such as: high pitched colorful gable roofs, large living arched
porches, color accented brick and stone facades, decorative iron gates,
two-toned exterior paints, Hollywood drives with grass centers, antique
mailboxes, rear alley-less garages, accented windows, turn of the century
street lanterns, brick paver sidewalks to name a few. These classic
architectural features cost many dollars more than the stand alone home
in the average custom neighborhood. However, we remember the
sole Sherwood Forest builder, Wes Pool's motto on classic neighborhoods:
|
|
These characteristics of the English Tudor style of architecture are the
common threads that tie all Sherwood Forest Garden Homes together to form a
unique neighborhood, a classic neighborhood a......Themed Neighborhood.
Such a neighborhood can be found in the
Sherwood Forest Subdivision. |
