Laurel Oak is a nice floor plan! You have some room there to adjust exactly where you want that big island. I have seen it installed too close to the main counter and suddenly you have a galley kitchen that is tight. I have also seen it installed too close to the garage entry hallway.....your main everyday entrance. I was in one last week that the homeowners moved it out quite a bit to allow for future wheelchair access around the island. This MUST be decided early on, as plumbing and electrical is brought up for the island in the slab...so it cannot be moved. Double check many times and MAKE SURE the builder plans accordingly and that it is clearly in the blueprints.
We do over 600 one year warranty inspections in The Villages every year, so we know the models and see plenty of great ideas...and some things the homeowners wished they did different. Hope that helps!!
