Winter-Friendly Features for Your New Knoxville Home

As the winter season sets in, the desire for a warm and inviting home becomes a top priority. At Saddlebrook Properties, we focus on building homes designed for modern convenience and comfort throughout every season. Let’s explore a few home features that not only add comfort but also elevate your living space during the winter months.

Fireplaces
Many Saddlebrook floor plans come standard with luxury fireplaces that create a beautiful focal point for gathering and relaxing in the great room. We understand that preferences vary, which is why we also offer fireplaces as upgrade options for floor plans where they are not included. Choose a traditional fireplace for a timeless, cozy aesthetic that can be enhanced with built-in shelving to display books and cherished items. For a more contemporary design, we offer linear fireplaces in our townhomes at Northshore Town Center and The Grove Towns. These sleek fireplaces match the clean, modern design of the home while providing a cozy ambiance. Whichever style you choose, we have the perfect option to complement your style and keep you warm during the winter months.

Spa Showers and Soaking Tubs
Stay warm and pampered during winter with our luxurious bathroom amenities, including spa showers and soaking tubs. All Saddlebrook floor plans include beautifully tiled walk-in showers in the owner’s bathroom. These showers provide plenty of space and built-in shelving for your favorite products. Additionally, many of our floor plans include a soaking tub in the owner’s bathroom while others have the option to add a tub. Picture yourself unwinding in a soothing soak after a long day or starting your morning with an invigorating spa shower. These bathroom amenities are designed to elevate your daily routine and provide an escape from the cold outside.

Mud Rooms & Entry Drop Zones
Mud rooms are another beneficial feature in many Saddlebrook homes. These dedicated entryways are especially handy during the winter and offer a place to shed heavy coats and snowy shoes before entering the main living areas of your home. Not only do mud rooms help to keep the rest of your home clean and organized, but they also provide a practical space for storing winter gear and accessories. For additional convenience, we also offer the option to add a drop zone near the entryway with many of our floor plans. A drop zone provides a bench for seating and hooks for hanging outerwear, which is a great feature for keeping your home tidy during the winter months and making it easy to grab your essentials on the way out the door.

Energy-Efficient Building Materials
One of the most essential parts of having a winter-ready home is having an energy-efficient home. Saddlebrook Properties takes a comprehensive “whole-house” approach to reducing energy consumption. Our new homes in Knoxville are constructed using the latest energy-efficient building materials and technology. This ensures not only a reduced carbon footprint but also cost savings on utility bills. Our commitment to energy efficiency includes features such as Low-E windows, 14 seer heating and cooling systems, Thermo-ply insulation board, radiant foil roof decking, and other energy-reducing construction techniques. Saddlebrook homes are designed to be energy-efficient and provide comfort throughout every season.

At Saddlebrook, we prioritize creating new Knoxville homes that not only meet but exceed your expectations for comfort and warmth during the winter season. Explore our floor plans and available new homes in Knoxville, and please contact us with any questions.
