Shellstone at Waterside: Five Architectural Styles, One New Village

Shellstone is Waterside's newest village, with roughly 682 homesites split between Homes by Towne and Lee Wetherington Homes and priced from the high $600s into the $1.5 million range. It's also the only village in the district building five distinct architectural styles side by side — Coastal, Craftsman, Modern Mediterranean, West Indies, and Modern Farmhouse. Its private amenity center, The Summit at Shellstone, is still coming online, which means buyers who move now get first pick of homesites before the rest of the district catches on — the kind of timing question we track daily for clients.

With five architectural styles under one village, Shellstone gives buyers unusual freedom — and unusual room to overthink. The right choice usually comes down to matching elevation, floor plan, and homesite to how you'll really use the home, not just which model photographs best on a Sunday tour.

Sarah and Jackie make that easy. Between Sarah's decade in luxury new construction and Jackie's eye for design and marketing, they'll help you weigh Shellstone's options against your budget and your lifestyle — without the pressure you'll feel across the sales desk. A quick call before you go turns an overwhelming lineup into a short, confident short list.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the five architectural styles offered in Shellstone?

Shellstone is built around five distinct exterior styles — an unusual amount of variety for a single village of roughly 682 homesites, built by Homes by Towne and Lee Wetherington. Choosing the style and homesite that will hold its value best is where good representation pays for itself. Let Sarah and Jackie Lowry walk you through the options at (941) 400-9026.

When does The Summit at Shellstone amenity center open?

The Summit at Shellstone opens August 15 — Jackie recently toured it herself for The Lowry Report. Buying before a village's amenities fully come online can mean better homesite selection and pre-appreciation pricing, so timing matters. Sarah and Jackie can help you get in at the right moment: (941) 400-9026.

Is it smart to buy in Shellstone while it's still building out?

Early phases of a new village often offer the best homesites and the lowest entry pricing before later releases climb — but phasing and lot premiums are easy to misread. Sarah and Jackie tour Shellstone regularly and can tell you which release is worth acting on. Reach them directly at (941) 400-9026.
