The new Cumberland Hills Addition is located in
a highly-desirable south Tyler location convenient to Paluxy
Drive, South Broadway and the new Loop 49. Current offerings by
Johnson Humphrey Homes are located at 1605, 1609 and 1613 Skidmore
Lane. Asking prices range from $165,000 to $200,000.
Custom homes are built turnkey:
after the plans are completed and a homesite is chosen, a price
can be agreed upon. A specification (spec) sheet showing what amenities
are included in the price will be included as part of the contract.
This spec sheet covers everything, including dollar allowances
for selections to be made during construction, e.g., brick color,
stone, flooring, lighting, appliances, etc.
All of these fine homes feature top
of the line exterior and interior amenities as discussed below.

This spray foam insulation
is the best on
the market today. Practically no air can penetrate Enviro-Tech's Spray-Foam
Insulation, plus it prevents mold and mildew (cannot be damaged
by water).
This procedure provides a true
thermal seal and savings of 30% to 50% on energy costs
per month. The attic air is roughly 6 degrees different over the
conditioned area of the home and therefore requires no ceiling
insulation.
FRONT DOORS - are made of
fiberglass and can be stained or painted. Wood exterior doors often
have issues in
a very short period including warping, swelling and discoloring,
while fiberglass doors eliminate many of these problems and are
known for longevity and beauty.
25 YEAR - Architectural
shingles have the ability to show a linear perspective depth
and shadows that 20 year 3-tab shingles do not.
(Many starter or garden type homes use the cheaper less attractive
20-year lightweight shingle).
MASONRY WORK – includes
real stone and Acme brick with either white, beige or gray mortar.
The reason mortar color is important is that it makes up almost
20% of your homes facade where brick or stone is being used.
Mortar color makes a huge difference in your home's appearance
and street appeal.
WINDOWS - are manufactured
by All Seasons in Longview, Texas. They are energy efficient
with double panes and a Low–E glass coating to reduce
fading of floors and upholstery.
HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING -
Amana units with installation by C. Woods Company have one of the
best warranties
in the business. Low SEER ratings and smaller tonnage requirements
are positive factors due to the state-of-the-art Enviro-Tech insulation.
FIREPLACES - (some models)
are zero clearance with real wood or gas log capabilities, and
are topped with a man-made Austin Stone chimney and custom
chimney cap cover.
SIDING - Alcoa siding
has a limited lifetime warranty against chipping,
cracking, etc. By selecting a wicker or similar color, maintenance
is extremely minimal. Not painting
your homes exterior every 3 to 4 years will save you
thousands of dollars.
WATER HEATING - Rinnai 2532Ffu
(Natural Gas) saves from 21% up to 50% according to
GAMA Estimated Annual Operation Cost Guide. This type of hot water
system (tank-less instantaneous)
does not retain any water except for the water in the pipe. The
absence of a tank saves energy because tank heaters have to reheat
water in the tank as it cools (standby loss). These ratings of
up to 50% compare gas and electric hot water heaters.
CENTRAL VACUUM - if you
have never had a central vacuum system, you will be impressed.
Many Allergists recommend them because they eliminate the circulation
of germ-ridden dust. With 2 to 3 times the power of conventional
uprights, central vacuums are light and easy to use. A handy
attachment will keep your automobile clean.
KITCHEN COUNTERTOPS –
Polished granite (2cm
thick), or quartz (upon availability), in a variety
of colors.
CABINETS AND TRIM -
all are custom built and stained cabinets are made of Maple or
Knotty Alder and MDF. Crown moldings (U.S.) (mouldings (U.K.,
Canada Aus.)) are located in all living areas and 5 5/8” base.
ELECTRICAL- Category 5 telephone lines
and RG-6 cable are run in 4 rooms for your computer and video needs.
PLUMBING – Plumbing
is Wirsbo
Aquapex Water Distribution System. PEX (Polyethylene
Plastic Material (stronger than P.E.)) is run in the attic
as opposed to copper in the slab. In a relatively short period
of time copper can break down due to abrasion and vibration,
where the PEX does not. PEX is better than copper in most cases
and future fixtures can be added much easier than conventional
copper piping permits.
PLUMBING FIXTURES –The
master bath has a whirlpool type tub with square twin marble
lavatories and framed mirrors.
Taxes - can be estimated
by using Smith
County’s appraised value times 1.7%. For example:
$176,000.00 x 1.7% = $3,000 per annum.
