November is meant for celebrating what we are thankful for, and the entire Triple A Homes team is filled with gratitude for all that we experienced while building our clients’ dream homes. This year, we are even more thankful as we have just won eight awards across six homes shown in two central North Carolina Parade of Homes. Triple A Homes was proud to have entries in both the Durham, Orange & Chatham Parade of Homes and the Raleigh-Wake Parade of Homes this year.
The Parade of Homes offers a chance for the general public to see where Triple A Homes shines the brightest, and we are thrilled to have earned four gold, three silver, and one bronze award this year. Two of our homes, Gilded Elegance and Fairway Manor, won awards in each of the region’s parades, earning accolades from two different sets of judges.
These awards belong to the entire Triple A Homes team, including our trade partners, designers, and the homeowners who entrust us with their vision. Thank you to our team, our partners, and to everyone who toured our 2026 Parade of Homes entries. While each of our parade entries is unique, they are all built with the same approach: paying attention to thoughtful details using quality craftsmanship and designing for how our clients actually live.
Where did Triple A Homes find success in this year’s Parade of Homes?
Gilded Elegance won both a Gold and Silver Award after participating in both of the region’s Parades of Homes. This Pittsboro home has also been the star of Triple A Homes’ social media series “Parade: Behind the Build,” giving viewers a glimpse into the custom homebuilding process. The series followed Gilded Elegance from the very first walk of its lot, through groundbreaking, framing, and selections of designs and finishes. Soaring ceilings, a huge scullery, and a stunning landscape are just a few of this home’s fabulous features. Gilded Elegance is located in Pittsboro’s Hamptons Summit community at 181 Westhampton Drive.
Blufftonwood Manor won Gold in the Durham, Orange & Chatham parade! This equestrian-friendly, modern farmhouse sits in The Estates at Laurel Ridge community. It is a spectacular home nestled on 8 acres within Pittsboro’s beautiful countryside, easily enjoyed from its oversized windows or outdoor entertainment areas. While Blufftonwood Manor has sold, The Estates at Laurel Ridge has additional stunning homesites available.
Modern Elegance won Gold in the Durham, Orange & Chatham parade for its contemporary design and seamless connection to Chatham County’s rolling hills. Waterfall quartz counters highlight this home’s entertaining spaces while a gorgeous wet-room ensuite offers a tranquil owner’s retreat. This home sits just minutes away from Mosaic, the area’s premier hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Modern Elegance can be found in Pittsboro’s The Estates at Laurel Ridge neighborhood at 213 Brook Green Lane.
Sunlit Manor won Gold in the Durham, Orange & Chatham parade. Its elegant stone exterior invites guests into a dramatic two-story foyer while a large family room opens to the community’s preserved woodlands. Sunlit Manor is located in the Ryan’s Crossing neighborhood and, while this home has sold, there is additional availability. Residents of Ryan’s Crossing have access to endless acres of thoughtfully preserved natural spaces, walking trails, and an outdoor yoga space.
Fairway Manor also won awards in both parades, bringing home two silvers! Nestled within Pittsboro’s Chapel Ridge community, this home offers stunning views of the first and ninth fairways of a Fred Couples’ signature golf course. Other highlights include a two-story great room and a courtyard garage with plenty of room for two cars and a golf cart. Find Fairway Manor at 25 Blackhorn Court in Pittsboro.
Meadow Walk Manor won a Bronze award in the Raleigh-Wake parade with a design that merges modern luxury with everyday functionality. Its main floor suite offers a true sanctuary for the homeowner and includes a stunning bathroom centered around a deep soaking tub. This Fuquay-Varina home is peacefully placed while still convenient to local amenities. Meadow Walk Manor is located at 220 Meadow Walk Drive in the McLaurin Farm neighborhood.
For the team at Triple A Homes, winning multiple Parade of Homes awards is an exciting end to an amazing year. In addition to eight Parade honors, Triple A Homes was also named to the Triangle Business Journal’s Fast 50 list, which highlights the region’s fastest-growing companies. Each team member puts so much energy into our clients’ custom home builds, and we are thrilled to receive recognition for that work.
From the entire Triple A Homes team, Thank You! We wish you the best this holiday season!
