And in some cases you can get the extra space in the Gardenia. Our den in the Gardenia happens to be 14-6 by 11-2. Wish they had also added a bay window and replace the added 2 feet with a closet, but maybe someday. Has anyone added a bay window to an existing home? Or how about taking a standard Gardenia model and eliminating the window in the breakfast nook and adding a golf cart garage like the Lily? I am sure it could be done, the question is would it be allowed and at what cost?

I love my location. Wouldn't change it for any other place in The Villages. And I am sure many others feel exactly the same. But I certainly would love to add a bay window to my den, then add a closet to that room and make it a real 3rd bedroom, and would love to add the golf car garage in front of the breakfast nook. The closet is easy as I am not changing the footprint. The other two I don't know. I have the space, lot size, etc, but not sure if it would be allowed. Any one tried it?
