I’m sorry, but are all of these AI generated?
90% of the houses have “garages” with zero way to access them.Toll Brothers
Hello, Rocky. We appreciate the question. No, these are actual photos of our model homes! Many have no driveway because we only place one after we sell the model home. We do this so homeowners can customize how it looks. We hope this answers your question. Thanks!
