Choose from home plans ranging from 2,019 to more than 4,100 square feet, with three to six bedrooms and two to three-and-a-half baths. Homes will include a two-car garage; for certain sites and plans, a three-car garage will be available. Look for exteriors of HardiePlank siding with stone and brick accents, front porches and covered lanais.

Bellington has two model homes under construction. The Aberdeen is a luxurious ranch designed for anyone who prefers most of their living area on one floor. It offers great versatility and flexibility, with main floor options including a master suite, in-laws suite, two full baths, study, dining room and more. Those desiring more room can add a floor with two bedrooms, full bath, plus a loft.

Highlights of the Bradford include 4 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths and a 3-car garage. The plan features 9-foot ceilings and numerous windows, a first-floor study, large bay window and sitting area in the master bedroom, and two separate heating and cooling systems to keep the temperature on each floor comfortable. A popular amenity upstairs is the large optional bonus room, typically used as a children's playroom or extra bedroom for guests.

Every M/I home comes with a 30-year transferrable structural warranty. To see constructed models of the Bradford and Aberdeen, or for additional details on Bellington, call Kris Bates at 704/286-6498 or email salescharlotte@mihomes.com. Take a YouTube tour of the site at http://bit.ly/1nAO5Vx.

M/I Homes of Charlotte helps customers save every month through M/I Homes' exclusive Whole Home Building Standards. These best practices are part of every M/I home. They go beyond standard code, resulting in a home that is independently tested to determine its Home Energy Rating System Index, or HERS Index. M/I's HERS indices are even better than those required by the EPA for Energy Star® Certification. Learn more at www.mihomes.com/wholehome.
