“The stunning architectural detail and spacious home designs combined with the superb location near I-85 and great shopping, makes these communities highly desirable,” said Tip Cape, one of the owners of Bowen Family Homes. “Interested home buyers are invited to visit soon because the fourteen remaining homes between Ashmore and Thornhill Commons will not last long. Luckily for new home buyers, there are still several different home plans to choose from at Ashmore and Thornhill Commons ranging from 1,856 square feet to 3,475 square feet.”
