These are among the company's most spacious and desirable homes, ranging from 3,300 to 4,656 feet, featuring such amenities as dual fireplaces (in the kitchen and family room), a large bonus room, and a dramatic octagon-shaped entry foyer.

"We see this area as one of the next hot neighborhoods, which is why the company purchased 67 sites there," says Tamara Lynch, vice president of sales and marketing for M/I Homes.  "It's ideal for people who work in the city but prefer the charms of smaller-town living in a luxurious setting."

In this master-planned community, M/I Homes is offering all-brick homes with brick-and-stone elevation, from $337,990 to $457,090.  Depending on the home plan selected, buyers can choose from 4 to up to 7 bedrooms.

Highlights of the model home plan, called The Biltmore, include upstairs study; master suite with closet, sitting area, and deck; and 3-car garage with entry on the side. Take a video tour of The Biltmore at http://youtu.be/l9JpPs7wj04.

The decor has been designed by acclaimed design firm Mary Cook Associates. Among other projects, Mary Cook Associates worked with Donald Trump to design the Trump International & Tower model units in Chicago.

Do-it-yourselfers will enjoy several projects created by the Mary Cook team, including built-ins and designer trim details to add for a custom look. Some homes in the community also include basements.

The Cureton neighborhood features a pool with waterslide, clubhouse, playground, and walking trails.  Cureton is in the Union County Public School District, and residents pay Union County taxes.  The neighborhood is convenient to the Ballantyne area, local shopping, downtown Waxhaw, and I-485. All M/I homes are Energy Star-certified and come with a 30-year structural warranty.

To visit Cureton, from I-485 take exit 57 south on Providence Road (Highway 16) toward Waxhaw. Travel 6.8 miles then turn right on Gray Byrum Road.  Cureton is 0.4 miles down on the left.
