Donna Vista. It's Italian for "A Woman's View". A one-of-a-kind home that represents Karey's vision of what a luxury home should be.

Everywhere you look inside, you'll find well-designed, comfortable living space. Large, inviting rooms with warm finishes. Flawless millwork that adds just the right amount of elegance without being too formal. Unique accents that emphasize the hand-crafted quality. Attention to detail that has become Karey's signature.

Openness is fundamental in the Donna Vista home. As soon as you walk through the front door, your vision is drawn through the foyer to the garden just outside, and to the rolling hills beyond. There's a great room with high ceilings and tall windows, and an open kitchen and nook. Expansive windows in virtually every room infuse the space with natural light.

There's special emphasis on year round living, too. Large, well-placed doors that let activities flow indoors and out naturally when the weather is perfect. Covered porches and patios to enjoy being outdoors when it isn't. An outdoor fireplace to warm up the evening, and a transition kitchen that serves for outdoor entertaining, under cover or in the open.

Not only did the Donna Vista win praise from thousands of Street of Dreams visitors, it also drew the attention of our peers in the homebuilding industry, who awarded it four Professional's Choice awards:

   Best Architectural Design
   Best Master Suite
   Best Home Furnishing

and the prestigious "Homer" Best of Show award.

Here's the Press Release from the Homebuilders Association.

Even if you didn't see us at this year's Street of Dreams, you can find the same thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship in every Karey House. And you don't have to wait for next year's Street of Dreams to build your dream home. Come talk with us. We like to listen.
