The Tennesseean: Fall Parade of Homes in Brentwood will highlight smaller spaces, high-end features

Castle Homes is building an English Country style home in Witherspoon with over 6,000 square feet of carefully designed living space.

“Castle Homes, which is making its first appearance in the Parade in about a decade, is presenting an English country-style house inspired by Edwin Landseer Lutyens, the architect who designed many of England’s public buildings, war memorials and country houses in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Many homeowners are looking for smaller spaces but with high-end finishes, said Alan Looney, the company’s president.

With a total of 5,200 square feet on its first and second levels — 6,000 when the basement is included — Castle’s design is somewhat smaller than many luxury homes. The price is expected to be under $2 million.

“Our goal is to keep it small and build something attainable that people want,” said Looney.

The Parade will have “a lot of innovative designs, homes that fit what people are looking for in today’s lifestyle at a price people want,” he said.

The laundry room in Castle’s home is an example of the thoughtful use of space. 

“It won’t be just a laundry room,” but will have room that could be set aside for the kids to work on projects, he said.”
