My question is has anyone purchased a Woodlawn or Marathon CYV and later redesigned the laundry area. Ideally, I'd like to have the laundry interior, but we like the 2 BR size.

We have lived in a Las Brisas (Woodlawn) courtyard villa for over 12 years. One of the few complaints I have had with this floor plan is the location of the laundry. The only way I can get to the washing machine is by going "sideways" between the car and the golf cart! Usually, this means folding in the rear-view mirror on the car and hoisting the laundry basket over my head! This narrow passage HAS encouraged me to keep any extra weight off, so I guess that is a good thing! I can see no way to move the laundry to the main part of the house. There just is not enough room. Perhaps if the floor plan had a galley-style kitchen, that would free up space somewhere. But, the beautiful kitchen layout is what sold me on this villa plan. I have had some lovely kitchens in my homes in that "other life" but none any more fun and enjoyable to work in as this one. It's amazing to me what we can learn to live with when other things become more important in our lives. Besides, that narrow garage may just keep me from ever needing the services of Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers!! Life is good!
