What Do You Want In Your New Home?
What Type of Secondary Baths Do Find More Appealing to YOUR Lifestyle?
This may seem like an obvious choice, but we have learned from past home buyers that there are some less obvious things to consider.
Usually this set by the design of the floor plan, so to get the layout you prefer, you need to pay attention to the floor plan.
You can, however, on most plans upgrade the number of sinks, color of the vanity or add a walk-in only shower in lieu of a tub.
Typically design #1 is the standard option for most plans.
There are more options than are shown here, too, so if you have a specific need, please ask the onsite agent or online chat for what plans offer what you want at the community(s) you prefer.
PHOTOS here DO HAVE Upgrades, See Onsite agent for details.
