Union County's Historic Lawson has unveiled The Mill House, the centerpiece of the community's impressive list of amenities. Featuring a 30-foot cathedral ceiling in the central gathering area and an immense native stone fireplace, The Mill House affords a sweeping view of the community pool and activities area. Inspired by 19th century grain mills located nearby, The Mill House "has emerged as one of the most intriguing architectural amenity designs in the area," said Tricia Hunt, Community Sales Manager for Historic Lawson.
"In addition, The Mill House includes a working mill wheel and waterslide, a playground, and one of two lighted tennis courts." Historic Lawson was created with a commitment to the area's environmental history and preserving green spaces within the community, which takes its name from naturalist John Lawson, who surveyed the unexplored territory over 300 years ago. Slated for 1,000 homes at completion, Orleans Homebuilders is now offering 4- and 5-bedroom single-family homes from 2,645 square feet, which are priced from the mid $300s.
Orleans' homes available in Lawson feature such details as ceramic tile and hardwood flooring, luxurious master suites with sitting rooms (per plan), two-story family rooms (per plan), and options such as 3rd floor walk-up attics and grand morning rooms. One third of the community's 558 acres has been set aside for common use. The Mill House amenities center and 9 miles of "Lawson Trails" are just a few of the benefits of the community, along with award-winning Weddington schools and low Union County tax rates.
