2012 PARADE OF HOMES® 3www.lAbAPARADEOFHOMES.cOM

Welcome to the 2012 La Crosse Area Builders Association (LABA) Parade of Homes! This year we are pleased to have a diverse showcase of homes on display. We hope you take time to appreciate the quality work that goes into each and every home. Even with a slower economy, we are fortunate in this area to have many quality homes by quality builders being built each year.

We greatly appreciate your attendance at the LABA Parade of Homes. As an organization central to the Western Wisconsin building industry, LABA is your resource to locate qualified homebuilders and remodelers to fit your needs and wants. We have an extensive network of builders, remodelers and other building professionals able to take a successful project from start to finish.

Enjoy the show and take in all the new and exciting products and ideas that are possible in your new home or remodeling project.

Yours in building,Jason SobottaLABA President

Make plans now to attend the 2012 Parade of Homes this August! If you are thinking of building or remodeling anywhere in the La Crosse area, you can rely on the Builder Members of the La Crosse Area Builders Association to get the job done right.

At the Parade of Homes you can talk directly with builders, see their work firsthand, and get many ideas on the new and innovative things happening in homes today. You will see stunning ideas in all rooms of the house, see technology used in ways you probably didn’t know existed and discover how important it is to have a qualified builder do your next project.

This year’s Parade of Homes features a dozen new homes within a broad price range, so there’s sure to be something that everyone can relate to. With the addition of two builders entering their first-ever Parade home plus a couple of builders that haven’t been in the Parade for a few years, there’s plenty of new things to look forward to. We’ve even included two major remodeling projects for you to consider. The homes exhibit the professionalism, authenticity and unsurpassed standards of LABA members.

Don’t forget to cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award after you’ve seen them all. As a ticket holder, you have the unique opportunity to vote for your favorite in this year’s Parade. This coveted award is one of several that our Builder Members compete for during the Parade, and every vote counts. Simply write the number of your favorite home on the bottom of your ticket and drop it in the designated box as you exit the last home on your tour.

With low interest rates, what better time to check out your local options in home construction, remodeling and design? Come check out the 2012 Parade of Homes—you don’t want to miss it!

How can a home be affordable, yet contain high-end amenities such as a gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops, a great room with a stone fireplace, a lovely screened-in porch, a built-in sound system and so much more? Carefully designed for easy living, each side of this twinhome has a spacious 2700 square feet finished and is distinctly unique. One side features cherry cabinets with white trim; the other side showcases maple cabinets with custom trim in a richly stained color. Coordinating wall paint colors blend beautifully with the respective quartz countertops and lighting.

The second bedroom is designed to serve as an office or den so the home “ages” with you. And, you will be pleased that this home is wired for all of today’s electronic needs. The screened-in back porch features cedar ceilings and composite decking and is the perfect way to view nature while listening to music on the outdoor speaker system. Add to that the beauty and peacefulness of Wildwood Valley and you will understand that twinhome living can be achieved in a beautiful neighborhood of contemporary homes.

With beautiful, wooded hills and curving roads, Wildwood Valley is the perfect setting for this amazing home, which features family gathering spaces on three levels. There’s plenty of room around the kitchen island to visit as meals are prepared. Wolf/Sub Zero appliances blend beautifully with Mission cabinets, quartz countertops and under-the-cabinet tile work.

The screened-in porch is the place to retreat if you love fresh air. You can even enjoy a game on the TV while there! The soaring stone fireplace is the focal point from all areas of the main level and the upper floor. In a unique twist, a separate angled bar serves the dining area, separated only by custom wood columns to the great room. The lower level features a theater room, complete with serving bar and kitchen for movie nights as well as an exercise room.

In all, there are six bedrooms, six bathrooms, two distinct living areas and an incredible master suite with sitting room and corresponding bath suite. Add to that an incredible palette of colors, tile, lighting and textures.

Special thanks to Shannan and Michael Linse for choosing Lifetime Design Homes.

The impressive wrap-around porch draws you home as you approach this two-story beauty from a distance. Reminiscent of the Grand Ladies of the past, this 5669 square foot house features a screened-in porch (with a hot tub!) off the master suite, five bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths and a three-car garage. Designed for those who cherish their time with family and friends, the kitchen is the heart of the home, showcasing maple cabinets with quartz countertops. The dinette is lined with windows to the back of the property, and the great room has wonderful views to the back woods in all seasons. In addition, there are many areas to “play”: a 30’ x 32’ indoor basketball court is available year-round and the lower level has an exercise room, rec room and bar area.

This welcome retreat is truly lovely, and the colors and lighting choices complement the white trim and doors. As always, you will find custom trim, built-in lockers and quality throughout homes that have been thoughfully designed and built to the highest standards by Lifetime Design Homes. Thank you to Jason and Lori Weber for allowing Lifetime Design Homes to design and build their beautiful home!

The four-season porch on this remarkable home has a vaulted ceiling and fireplace, and offers a view of Lake Onalaska. There is a large kitchen with convenient step-in pantry closet, and the family room has a second brick front fireplace with wet bar and game table area. A large entry foyer, 10-foot ceilings, and a formal office at the rear of the home enhance livability. The three-car heated and finished garage has a separate finished and heated storage room. Hot water heated floors offer low utility bills. Custom oak door trim and handrailings show quality of finished workmanship. The deck area opens to a stamped concrete, colored patio with sunken hot tub. There’s a lot of house for a very reasonable construction cost in this split-foyer home.

Here’s another great home in the up-and-coming community of Savannah Village that just says, “Welcome, come on in.” The open floor plan design between the kitchen, dining room and living room (featuring a large built-in entertainment center), makes entertaining friends and family simple. The master bedroom on the main floor has its own bath with dual vanities and spacious walk-in closet. Also, the main floor has a second bedroom and second full bath. The unfinished basement is designed to be finished with two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, large family room, lots of storage or an additional bonus room.

“A Better Way of Life” means no more mowing, snow shoveling, fertilizing and shrub trimming. Savannah Village is a truly quiet neighborhood where you will know your neighbors and they will know you.

After a fire and major smoke damage in this home, Empire was contacted to put the pieces back together. The entire main floor was gutted back down to the studs, and all the framing materials were sealed to eliminate the smell.

At this point, Empire worked closely with the owner to change the kitchen and master bathroom layout, adding a walk-in closet and more room to the kitchen. This home of course has new materials throughout the main floor and features the Empire Development Signature Collection from Dura Supreme.

Paneling was “fancy” at the time this house was built. Since then, much has changed including building materials and styles, family structure and even the way we go to work. This house sat vacant because no one could envision it in the new century.

Kodiak Construction—a true design/build contractor—did see the possibilities and now invites you to come see this completely renovated and updated impressive house located on hillside acreage in the area’s original executive neighborhood. Privacy, a great view and a floor plan that works with today’s busy lifestyles—including an office with a separate entry—are just a few of the amenities this home has to offer.

Waterfront living at its finest. Your grass is mowed, your snow is shoveled and your private park is taken care of while you relax.

It’s designed by MasterCraft Homes to maximize water views and outdoor livability. The main floor features a large master bedroom with a four-season porch sitting area just off it, a large private bath with a 60-inch shower and a walk-in closet with a full storage system.

A den with library shelves, granite tops, filing cabinets, Internet and phone hookups makes paying bills painless. The kitchen is part of the great room with multi-layered vaulted ceilings, great cabinetry, granite countertops and a breakfast table creating a sense of luxurious living. The semi-formal dining room, living room with gas fireplace and built-in entertainment center make a great place to entertain.
