As a trusted homebuilder in the RVA area for nearly 27 years, Main Street Homes understands the homebuying journey. From selecting the perfect floor plan to finding the right community for you and your family, it’s important to feel comfortable and reassured every step of the way—which is exactly what our online tools are designed to do. With interactive floor plans, an amazing online design studio, 3D tours and more, our wide range of virtual tools are here to make the homebuying experience as easy and stress-free as possible. Read below to learn more about these innovative tools and how they can help you throughout your new home journey. 

Create your dream layout

One of the most useful tools we offer is our interactive floor plans. With these, you can explore the layout and design of a home from the comfort of your own computer or smartphone any time of day—snacks not included! You can see exactly how each room is laid out, select particular add-ons such as a fireplace and sunroom—or even play around with exterior configurations to find the perfect home design that captures your attention from the start. Browse through our wide range of interactive floor plans to get a better idea of how your home could look, feel and function when you choose Main Street Homes.

Channel your inner interior designer

Our online design studio is another valuable resource for homebuyers, which allows you to browse a wide range of finishes, fixtures and materials to see how they would look in your Main Street home—BEFORE you purchase your home. After you’ve discovered the floor plan that effortlessly fits your needs, you can click on the “Online Design Studio” icon for a glimpse at the options you have to choose from, such as lighting, shower tile, interior trim, cabinetry and so much more. Mix and match different options throughout the design checklist to create a personalized look that truly reflects your style and needs—and you can even create a wishlist to keep every component of your dream home in one place. 

Walk through our homes

Another great feature we offer here at Main Street Homes is our 3D floor plan tours. These virtual tours allow you to walk through a home as if you were physically there, giving you a much better sense of the layout and flow of the space. You can even use the tour to get a feel for the natural light and views in each room. Whether you’re wondering about how our townhome layouts flow, or if you’re more curious about the design elements in our larger single-family homes—all 63 of our 3D walkthrough tours are a great way to experience the beauty, functionality and innovation of our floor plans without having to leave your home. 

See our work

In addition to our virtual tools, we also offer our immensely detailed photo galleries and community videos for you to see our work and get ideas and inspiration for your new home. The photo galleries showcase a range of design options, from traditional to modern, and can help you visualize how different finishes and materials will look in your home. The community videos provide a tour of the surrounding area and give viewers further information about the community, giving you a sense of what it's like to live in the neighborhood. Additionally, we also offer insightful videos about our energy-efficient practices, building process and charity events—as well as testimonials from our current homeowners, which can help you learn even more about the Main Street difference. Whether you need some design inspo, or if you’re a visual learner—our photo and video galleries are the perfect resources for you.
