After earning multiple honors at the 2025 Parade of Homes including Best Single-Family Home, Best of Show, Best Kitchen, Best Exterior, and the prestigious Fulton Award, EGStoltzfus Custom Homes & Remodeling is returning with a new entry in the 2026 Parade of Homes, sponsored by the Building Industry Association of Lancaster County.
This year’s home is located in The Reserve at Parkside community in Manheim Township (Lititz, PA). The home will offer virtual tours on the Parade website. This year’s event runs June 13-14 and June 17-21.
The 4-bedroom, 5-bath custom home has nearly 5,000 sq. ft. of living space – 3,354 sq. ft. above grade plus 1,644 sq. ft. of finished basement and a 789-sq.-ft. attached garage.
Every detail of this home, both inside and out, is a reflection of the process-driven approach that defines EGS and has made us a trusted design-build partner in Lancaster, PA and the surrounding region.
A Contemporary Statement
First impressions matter, and this home leaves a remarkable one.
The exterior is a balance of texture and contrast with board and batten siding, white stone veneer, black grid-less windows, metal roof accents, and wood-tone horizontal siding.
The home captures a distinctive contemporary design – an evolution from last year’s Tudor-inspired Parade entry – and is a clear example of our range as a luxury custom home builder in Lancaster County.
A Kitchen for Real Life
At the heart of the home is a kitchen designed around cooking, entertaining, and living – and it starts with two islands.
The working island features two kitchen faucets and a 57” workstation sink that’s equipped for serious cooking.
The social island, with overhangs on both ends, is made for friends and family who always end up gathering in the kitchen.
Behind the main stage is a hidden walk-in pantry, a modern appliance garage, and an extended beverage bar.
Rift-sawn white oak cabinetry, two-toned quartz counters on the main island, and quartz backsplash bring the entire kitchen space together.
The Owner’s Suite & Wet Room
A primary suite on the first floor offers convenient single-level living and a bathroom that feels like a private retreat.
The wet room is a signature feature in the home – a walk-in, flush-entry tiled shower and a free-standing soaking tub in one cohesive and beautifully finished space.
Designer matchbook porcelain slab marble covers the walls, a technique in which mirrored slabs are installed in symmetrical pairs for a dramatic effect.
Rift-sawn white oak cabinetry ties the owner’s suite back to the kitchen and carries continuous warmth through the home.
Direct access to the laundry room from the primary suite adds a level of practical detail that custom home clients never want to live without once they have it.
Ready for Every Chapter
Two additional home features show the foresight that goes into a well-planned custom home.
On the first floor, a secondary suite with an attached bath is designed for extended family, guests, or multigenerational living that may lie ahead.
The finished basement is inspiration for what a home’s lower level can be. At 1,644 sq. ft. with 10-foot ceilings, it includes a home theater zone and a gym with rubber flooring.
Build Your Custom Home with EGStoltzfus
Our 2026 Parade home is a showcase of what’s possible with EGStoltzfus Custom Homes & Remodeling. For those considering a design-build custom home, EGS currently has custom homesite opportunities at two Lancaster County communities:
Laranbo Farm is located in central Lancaster County in the Conestoga Valley School District. It offers 11 homesites averaging nearly a half-acre each in a quiet cul-de-sac setting. In a region where custom homesites are becoming increasingly rare, this is an exceptional opportunity. Pricing starts in the mid $800s.
Brooklawn is a custom home community in Manheim Township. It offers easy access to major travel routes and many popular Lancaster County amenities. Brooklawn currently has 12 available homesites.
Whether you bring your own vision or start with an EGS Signature Home Plan, our award-winning design-build process confidently guides each of our clients from concept and 3D modeling through design selections and closing. Learn more about our design-build experience.
The EGStoltzfus Parade of Homes entry can be toured virtually during this year’s Parade which runs June 13-14 and June 17-21. For more information about this free event, visit the Parade of Homes website.
