Inside, a graceful floor plan welcomes visitors. The tile entry leads into the vaulted great room, where a gas fireplace with tile surround and hearth sits next to a large palladium window. To the left is an all-season veranda, where large windows let in abundant sunlight. Put in the screens in the spring and summer and enjoy the breezes. Despite its name, this is a year-round room, heated and air conditioned for your comfort.

To the right of the front door is a sitting room or den whose focal point is another large palladium window. This room may also be used as a bedroom.

Beyond this is the guest suite, which has access to a shared bath. The guest room has a large closet and – you guessed it – another vaulted ceiling.

A word about these ceilings: they are an architectural element that adds not only height to the room, but visual interest and value to the property. And while the model home in this community contains many upgrades, it must be noted that the vaulted ceilings are standard, as are the palladium windows. Other standard features include raised bathroom vanities, a two-car garage with opener and space for a golf cart , an air infiltration insulation package, composite siding, a 90 percent+ high efficiency furnace, architectural shingles, and the great room's lovely fireplace.

The open floor plan of the villa offers an easy transition from the living room to the dining area.

At the far end of the great room is the kitchen. It's a convenient workspace, with long counters, a breakfast bar, lots of cabinets and a large pantry. A door at the back of the kitchen leads to a utility room with laundry hookups, and beyond that, to the two-car garage. The garage has pull-down stairs to an attic, which is decked to provide plenty of storage.

Opposite the veranda is the master suite, another large, airy space. The bedroom is large, with a palladium window and vaulted ceiling. The master bath includes a long double vanity – there's plenty of storage space here. The shower – a tiled walk-in with seat – and water closet are separate. At the end of the bathroom is a very generous walk-in closet, with lots of shelf and hanging space.
