Drees Homes’ Parkette model home at Tobacco Road in Angier, North Carolina was awarded gold at the Johnston County Parade of Homes, which was hosted by the Johnston County Building Industry Association and drew enthusiastic crowds across the Raleigh-Durham area.
Homebuyers, design aficionados and industry professionals gathered this spring to explore the latest in residential architecture and innovation. Held over two weekends, this event showcased 39 beautifully constructed homes from 24 distinguished builders.
Among the standout entries was the Parkette at Tobacco Road, which proudly took home Gold Awards for Best Floorplan and Best Fireplace.
The Parkette wowed judges and visitors alike with its blend of modern aesthetics and everyday functionality. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by an open-concept layout that seamlessly connects living, dining and kitchen spaces—perfect for both entertaining and relaxing.
The kitchen is a true highlight, featuring sleek countertops, high-end appliances and a spacious island that invites gathering and conversation. But it’s the fireplace that truly steals the show, elegantly integrated into the wall, it adds warmth and ambiance while serving as a natural focal point of the home.
Designed with today’s homeowners in mind, versatility is where the Parkette stands out. This floor plan includes multiple living areas, a bonus room and a flexible space ideal for a home office, playroom or creative studio. The covered patio and indoor-outdoor flow make it a year-round haven for relaxation and entertainment.
