To attract buyers to an empty, unfurnished speculative home, builders must be able to create an attention-getting design that works without the enhancement of furnishing or other amenities. For one such home in Arizona, Painter Properties achieved this with the use of premium materials throughout the residence.
The 3,500-square-foot home, which has an approximate price tag of $750,000, makes extensive use of honed and filled Durango marble limestone. The material, which is a fully metamorphosed limestone, was quarried and fabricated in Mexico, and supplied by World Wide Stone Corp. of Phoenix, AZ.
