model house

Builder's demonstration property

A model house is a furnished display home built to show prospective buyers what a housing development will look like.

Builders use model houses to demonstrate floor plans, finishes, and decorating possibilities: We toured three model houses before choosing our lot.

The term also refers to scale miniatures, like dollhouses or architectural models.
