‘The Stratford Plan’ by Palmer Custom Builders
This home design evolved from Palmer Custom Builder's desire to build a home with plentiful natural lighting, beautiful large windows, major living areas that are easily accessible on the ground floor, and nice, custom amenities. Conceived, designed and built by Palmer Custom Builders, this modern Mediterranean home brings the outdoors inside and provides custom design features and specifications.
