My personal favorite Villages home is a ranch in Buttonwood that has been decorated by a friend who I think has the best sense of décor of anyone I have met beside our oldest daughter.

This home is done with a lot of beach influence and other touches of the beginning of her life near the shore in Massachusetts. The house is always immaculately clean and so very welcoming. She has added just the right amount of accessories, but not too many. The color is lovely and soft and welcoming and the balance of placement of all things makes you think of a perfectly painted picture.

I have many friends who have lovely and welcoming homes here in The Villages. In the top ten is Nucky's home which is always immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. The yard is immaculate and even when their car is parked there, it sparkles like the stars. I love clean.

There are on my list of homes here those of all sizes and in all areas including the historic area.

One of my favorite models is the Lantana if I were forced to choose. Like every villager, I think the Village we live in is the best, right in the middle.
