Looking for a Ben Testerman home in Knoxville? Whether you are interested in a completed home, a home already under construction, or the opportunity to choose a homesite and personalize your finishes, understanding your options is the first step.
Ben Testerman Homes offers semi-custom new construction in several West Knoxville communities, including Lantern Park, Foxborough Hills, The Highlands at Ebenezer, and Avery Manor. Buyers can explore floor plans, compare locations, and learn which selections may still be available based on a home’s construction stage.
As a lifelong Farragut resident and Knoxville real estate agent, I help buyers evaluate these communities, understand the buying process, and make informed decisions from the initial search through closing.
Contact Karli Pritchard Realtors® to request current homes, homesite availability, floor plans, and pricing.
Your options may include a completed spec home, a home under construction, or an available homesite where you can choose an approved floor plan and make selections.
The right option depends on your timeline and how much personalization you want. A completed home allows you to see its finished spaces before purchasing, while buying earlier in construction may provide more opportunities to choose finishes.
Availability changes as homes sell and construction progresses. I can help you confirm:
Which homes are currently available.
Each home’s price and construction stage.
Which homesites remain available.
Which floor plans can be built on a particular lot.
Which selections have already been made.
The builder’s estimated completion timeline.
Any current incentives and their requirements.

Lantern Park is a 26-lot subdivision in Hardin Valley. Its smaller size may appeal to buyers looking for a more intimate neighborhood setting in West Knoxville.
If you are considering Lantern Park, I can help you explore any available homes or homesites, review the applicable specifications, and determine what personalization opportunities remain.
Foxborough Hills is a 95-lot subdivision on Fox Road, just off Kingston Pike. Its location offers convenient access to West Knoxville shopping, dining, and major roadways.
Published standard features include quartz kitchen countertops, a stainless vent hood, and hardwood flooring in main-level common areas, the primary bedroom, and the primary bedroom closet.
The Highlands at Ebenezer is a 106-lot subdivision on Ebenezer Road, just off Kingston Pike.
Published standard features include quartz countertops in the kitchen and full bathrooms, a wood kitchen vent hood, a farmhouse sink, and hardwood flooring in main-level common areas, the primary bedroom, and the primary bedroom closet.
Avery Manor is a 45-lot subdivision located approximately one mile from the Campbell Station Road exit off Interstate 40. Its location provides access to Farragut, Hardin Valley, Turkey Creek, and surrounding West Knoxville destinations.
Published standard features include granite countertops in the kitchen and full bathrooms, hardwood flooring on the main level except bedrooms, and whole-yard irrigation.
Community lot counts describe the overall developments, not the number of lots currently available. Contact me to confirm current inventory.
Understanding the standard features is an important part of comparing new construction. A feature included in one community may differ from the specifications in another.
Published Ben Testerman community feature lists include details such as brick and stone exterior construction, crown molding, smooth ceilings, oak stair treads with wrought iron balusters, and gas fireplaces with stone surrounds.
Kitchen features commonly listed include soft-close cabinetry, tile backsplashes, under-cabinet lighting, stainless appliances, and cabinet hardware.
Avery Manor, Foxborough Hills, and The Highlands at Ebenezer also publish features such as:
Tankless gas water heaters.
Security systems and structured wiring.
Central vacuum rough-in.
Two-car garages with openers.
Whole-yard irrigation and sod.
Tile flooring in full bathrooms and laundry rooms.
Primary bathrooms with tile showers and soaking tubs.
When we compare homes, I can help you identify what is included, what has been upgraded, and which additional expenses should be considered. For example, a central vacuum rough-in does not necessarily include a complete operating system, and an installed security system may have separate monitoring costs.
Published features are a starting point. The specifications and purchase agreement for your particular home should confirm what is included.
A floor plan should fit how you live today while allowing room for future needs. Beyond the bedroom count and square footage, consider how the spaces connect and which rooms you will use most.
As we review available plans, we can discuss:
Whether the primary bedroom is on the main level.
The availability of additional main-level bedrooms.
Space for a home office, guests, or hobbies.
Bonus rooms and storage.
Kitchen layout, pantry space, and entertaining areas.
Garage dimensions and parking needs.
Covered porches, patios, and backyard access.
Your homesite matters just as much. Lot slope, driveway layout, backyard usability, neighboring homes, and the direction of sunlight can affect how a home feels and functions.
I can help you compare the available lots and ask which floor plans and options are permitted on each homesite.
A semi-custom home combines an established floor plan with opportunities to personalize approved elements.
Depending on the community, floor plan, and construction stage, buyers may be able to select cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile, paint colors, hardware, lighting, and plumbing fixtures.
The amount of flexibility depends on when you purchase. A home already under construction may have materials ordered and selections finalized, while an earlier purchase may offer more choices.
Do not assume that walls, room layouts, or other structural elements can be changed later. Confirm requested changes before approving the final plan and make sure accepted changes are documented.
Selections are part of the construction schedule. Making decisions on time helps the builder order materials and keep work moving.
Before purchasing, we can review:
Which decisions are required at contract signing.
Your remaining selection opportunities.
The deadlines for each selection.
The approved vendors and appointment process.
How upgrade pricing is provided and approved.
What happens if a selection is unavailable or a deadline is missed.
If your purchase includes an electrical walkthrough, this is an opportunity to review the electrical plan before it becomes final.
Think through furniture placement, bedside outlets, television locations, desk setups, and lighting needs in advance. Requested changes should be discussed with the builder and approved through the required process.
Selection rules, permitted changes, and deadlines are governed by the agreement for your home.
The advertised price is one part of your budget. Before committing to a home or homesite, confirm what the price includes and which costs may be additional.
Items to review include:
Any homesite premium.
Optional floor-plan changes.
Finish upgrades and selection allowances.
Additional outdoor living features.
Closing costs and lender fees.
HOA dues and other applicable assessments.
Property taxes and insurance.
Items you may purchase after closing, such as window treatments or appliances not included in the agreement.
If an incentive is available, I can help you compare its requirements and practical value alongside the home’s price and financing terms.
A convenient location and beautiful floor plan are important, but the neighborhood’s rules and ownership costs also deserve attention.
For any Ben Testerman community you are considering, we can request the current HOA information and review questions such as:
What are the HOA dues, and what do they cover?
Are there restrictions on fences, pools, or exterior changes?
What approvals are required for future projects?
Are there rental restrictions?
What utilities serve the property?
Which schools are assigned to the specific address?
Brick construction does not automatically mean that lawn care or exterior maintenance is included. Those services should be confirmed through the community’s governing documents.
School assignments should also be verified for the particular property rather than assumed from a neighborhood’s location or mailing address.
We begin with your budget, preferred location, timeline, and must-have features. From there, we compare available homes, communities, plans, and homesites.
Before signing, work with your lender to understand your financing options and establish a budget that accounts for upgrades and closing expenses.
We review the purchase details, deposits, deadlines, included features, and builder addenda. Questions about contract terms can be raised before you commit, with legal guidance obtained when needed.
If personalization is available, complete the required decisions through the builder’s approved process and keep written records of selections and upgrade costs.
We stay informed about the builder’s updates, required meetings, and estimated completion date. Construction timelines should be treated as estimates until the applicable agreement and builder updates provide more certainty.
We confirm the permitted inspection process, arrange appropriate access, and prepare for the final walkthrough. Items identified for correction should be documented and addressed through the agreement’s procedures.
At closing, keep copies of your warranty documents, reporting instructions, and relevant contacts so you know how to submit questions or covered concerns after moving in.
New construction deserves careful review before closing. An independent inspection and the builder’s final walkthrough serve different purposes.
Before scheduling an inspection, confirm the timing, access requirements, and procedures in your agreement. The final walkthrough is also an opportunity to review the home’s condition, learn about its systems, and document outstanding items.
Warranty coverage should be reviewed separately. Ask what is covered, what is excluded, how to report concerns, and whether different issues have different reporting deadlines.
Do not assume that the builder’s pre-closing inspection procedures also apply to one-year warranty work. We can review the current warranty documents and submission requirements together so you understand the process.
The builder’s sales representative represents the builder. As your buyer’s agent, I help you evaluate the purchase based on your goals and interests.
I can help you:
Compare communities, floor plans, homesites, and inventory.
Identify questions about the contract and builder addenda.
Understand standard features and proposed upgrades.
Compare available financing incentives.
Track important purchase and selection deadlines.
Coordinate permitted independent inspections.
Prepare for construction meetings and walkthroughs.
Document outstanding items and follow up through the appropriate process.
Review how to access warranty information after closing.
I can also help you weigh design choices against your budget, everyday needs, and future resale considerations.
Contact me before your first builder visit or inquiry so we can discuss representation.
Yes! If you are starting from the beginning, you can visit the design center to personalize your home by choosing finishes such as cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile, and fixtures from the builder’s approved options.
If the home is already under construction, your choices will depend on its construction stage and which selections have been finalized. I can help you confirm what is still available to customize before purchasing.
Some changes may be considered before the plan is finalized. Permitted changes must be approved and documented; do not assume changes will be possible after approval.
Completed and quick-move-in homes may be available as inventory changes. Contact me for a current list and confirmation of each home’s status.
Pricing varies by community, floor plan, homesite, construction stage, and selections. I can provide current available-home prices and help you request pricing for a proposed build.
The timeline depends on the particular home and its current stage, along with factors such as material availability, weather, and required approvals. Request a home-specific estimate and review how completion timing is addressed in the agreement.
Deposit amounts, payment deadlines, and refundability depend on the purchase agreement. These should be reviewed before signing.
Yes, you can choose your own lender. However, the builder may have preferred lenders who offer incentives, such as contributions toward closing costs. Incentives and eligibility requirements can vary, so it is helpful to compare interest rates, loan terms, and total closing costs before choosing a lender.
That depends on your financing and whether the builder will accept the proposed contingency. We can discuss your sale timeline and ask about the available options before making an offer.
Yes, you can have an independent home inspection before closing. While the home undergoes required code inspections during construction, an independent inspection provides an additional review of its condition and systems.
We will also have a punch-list walkthrough with the builder’s representative to identify items needing attention. The builder will review the list and complete approved corrections before closing.
Review the community restrictions and approval requirements for the particular lot. Lot conditions and easements may also affect what is possible.
All new construction homes from Ben Testerman include a one-year builder’s warranty. Your written warranty outlines coverage, exclusions, and how to submit items for review. I can help you understand the reporting process and keep track of important warranty deadlines after closing.
Whether you want a completed home, an opportunity to personalize finishes, or a homesite in a West Knoxville community, I would love to help you explore the possibilities.
With lifelong Farragut roots and local market knowledge, I can help you compare your options and prepare for each step of your new construction purchase.
