(Missouri City, TX - Oct. 4, 2008) Fairmont Homes is introducing a custom model home packed with design and lifestyle ideas in Sienna Plantation's Luxury Home Idea Village, a collection of elegant homes that illustrate the latest custom home innovations.

Northstone Builders also is unveiling a model home in the neighborhood.

Fully furnished and decorated for the upcoming holidays, both homes will be open to the public beginning Nov. 14.

The Fairmont model offers endless entertaining possibilities, with four areas — including a study-turned-wine grotto — that interact for one large party or serve independently for more intimate gatherings. The home has a host of other ideas as well, such as a water wall of tile in the master bath spa, an indoor/outdoor fireplace between the family room and veranda and a massive pantry complete with cabinets and bookshelves that actually becomes an extension of the kitchen. Also noteworthy is the home’s thoughtful concern for guests, with amenities designed for accessibility, such as a walk-in shower and wall-mounted sink in the guest bath.

Other decorative and architectural details transform the ordinary into the extraordinary in the home, including a $3,000 stone sink atop a pedestal of wrought-iron leaves, which makes the powder room into one of the must-see spaces in the home. The home's design also illustrates innovative uses of materials and textures, such as the artful incorporation of elegant tiles on surfaces ranging from floors and ceilings to archways and countertops, creating interesting transitions as well as a bold statement.

Sienna Plantation is a 7,000-acre master-planned community with a mix of land uses including residential, retail, commercial, civic, recreational, religious, educational and medical, and a variety of housing choices including single-family and multi-family. Many of the nation's leading builders offer a wide choice of housing styles within Sienna's distinctive neighborhoods, with prices from the $160,000s to the millions.
