BEFORE THE FIRST NAIL: A FIRST LOOK AT 7011 DERBES
A home takes shape long before construction begins.
Modern Concept - Retreat Home
We're breaking ground soon on 7011 Derbes, and before a single nail is driven, the home already has a feeling.
That’s not an accident.
At Chapel & Cypress, atmosphere isn't something we layer on at the end. It's what we design first. The way a room holds light. The way a material invites touch. The way a space makes you slow down without asking you to.
We won't reveal everything here…that's what the finished home is for.
But we want you to feel it already.
Modern. Warm. Nothing Like a Template.
This Retreat Home is designed to feel modern and clean, but never cold.
The exterior sets that tone immediately: composed in white brick and natural wood, grounded by black windows and a dark roof. It has clarity without severity. A presence that feels deliberate, not decorated.
Step inside, and the warmth continues.
Real hardwood flooring throughout. Twelve-foot ceilings on the main level. Ten feet above. The kind of proportions that make a room breathe. You breathe differently inside them.
This is what we mean when we say a home should feel considered.
Strong. Warm. Interesting.
An Evening Worth Staying In For
Imagine a slow evening at home.
The fireplace is going. There's something good in your glass. The conversation is unhurried. The room around you isn't competing for your attention, it's simply holding the moment.
That's what the living space of this home is designed for. Not a showroom. Not a backdrop. A room that earns its place in your actual life.
A Kitchen Built for the People You Love
The kitchen at 7011 Derbes is streamlined, purposeful, and deeply equipped.
Pot filler over the range. In-cabinet drawer microwave. Stone surfaces. Every detail selected because it belongs there, not because it was an upgrade someone remembered to offer.
This is a kitchen designed for the people who actually cook. Who gather. Who host without stress because the space was built to support it, not just to look the part.
The dining area sits beside it, opening toward the back deck. Natural light pours in. The line between inside and outside softens.
It is the kind of place where meals become memories.
A Suite Designed for Rest
The primary bedroom doesn't announce itself.
It receives you.
The bed sits against a focal wall that draws the eye quietly, with warmth and texture rather than noise. Sconces provide light that feels like evening: soft, directional, intentional. The room is a considered mix of aesthetic restraint and interesting design. Nothing excess. Nothing missing.
The bath is its natural extension: a spacious walk-in shower, a freestanding soaking tub, a double vanity, a separate water closet. Every element placed with purpose. Designed to create interest, and to soothe.
This suite was built around a single question: what does real rest feel like?
The answer is in every decision made here.
The Powder Room: Fantastical by Design
Not every room in this home is quiet.
The powder room is not quiet.
Bronze and cream wallpaper…with stars. A deep navy vanity. Notable sconces on each side of the vanity mirror. It is small in square footage and large in personality, the kind of room guests remember long after they leave.
A well-designed home can hold contrast.
This one does.
Imagined. Selected. Integrated.
Room to Grow Into
The home offers five bedrooms, four and a half baths, and a second family area upstairs. A den that belongs to whoever needs it most.
A home office. A homework room. A place to watch the game.
The second floor doesn't feel like an afterthought. It feels like the rest of the house: thought through, finished well, built for real life.
This Is a Retreat Home
Every Chapel & Cypress home is built to a standard, not a budget.
7011 Derbes is a Retreat-tier home: elevated finish collections, sophisticated design choices, and the same commitment to material integrity and cohesion that defines everything we build.
Nothing here is builder grade.
Nothing here is accidental.
The Home Is Available Now
This modern beauty is available before completion.
There is a window to be part of the process, to see the design in motion, and to make this home yours before it's finished.
That window won't stay open long.
