What is a must is remove carpet in the living area and it's a shame because it's brand new. Possibly, enclose the lanai for more of an open feel. Do something with the cookie cutter landscaping may be a near future decision.


If your house is new. It is AMAZING how the landscaping grows into something beautiful and lush and dramatic in a couple of years. We are so pleased with what the builder gave us in this home AND at our first house in Hadley.


AND in answer to the question of "What would you do to a new Villages home?". I would put in it ONLY things I loved, we loved, and if I needed to buy a new thing, I would search until I found the most beautiful new thing we could afford. I would use ONLY my favorite colors and Sweeties, and I would try to make it the most beautiful and comfortable and welcoming place I had ever lived in. I would put in it personal things and pictures that always made me smile and blink back tears of good memories.


My advice. Take your time. Savor. Enjoy the process.
