John Marshall Custom Homes is pleased to share that the 3rd home in our ‘Davidson Springs’ neighborhood in downtown Davidson is now complete. Designed by LaBella Architecture, this new custom home features three levels of living space as well as beautiful outdoor spaces.

Interior design support was provided by Tara Setzer and Pam Settar – thank you!
In addition to being beautiful, this home is well built and energy efficient. Featuring R-30 basement walls, spray foam insulation, tankless water heater, and efficient Andersen windows and American Standard HVAC, this home is Energy Star certified with a HERS rating of 45. The efficiency of this home will result in an annual savings of over $2,000 in utility bills compared to a home that is built to code.
Davidson Springs is a 15 lot community in the heart of downtown Davidson. All lots are currently sold, and construction is underway on several new custom homes. A greenway which connects the South Main Street area to the Davidson K-8 school will traverse the neighborhood.
