My Village agent said that all new homes over a certain square footage (2300?) would be called Premier. A lot of them look like Designer homes just bumped out - not necessarily more elegant.

Doesn’t look like a premier to me, the home looks like a stretched Gardenia.

Your agent might want to refer to The Villages website............there are Premiers under 2300 and Designers over 2300.

There are Designers larger than Premiers.

Builder grade kitchen cabinets.....certainly not enough drawers. Home Depot lighting. Waaaaayyy overpriced. But someone will buy it.

It’s not the sf that brings designer models to Premiere.

It's 10’ ceilings throughout the entire house, including the garage, lanai, foyer and outside entrance. All Doors interior and exterior are 8’ as well as the lanai sliders. All top of windows are also at 8’ height

I’m just wondering how they bought a premier home in Lake Denham before premier homes came back in the Enclave. In any case I don’t think it will sell for that price. Not without a nice pool.

When we and some had the ability to build homes, at the time were in designer model category. Some homes had option to add 10’ ceiling with no variation of height in any of the rooms or outdoor areas.
All interior and exterior doors, including sliders were 8 feet. All windows were at 8 feet height. Those designer model names were changed around 2020 for example to be either a Ivy or Ivy 10 ( 10’ Ceilings)

Ivy 10 no longer exist, but renamed Warbler

In 2023 any homes that were built of those specifications of 10’ walls and 8’ doors, were moved from designer model category to “ premier”category.

So home built with those specifications are now labeled Premier, even though at build they were designer home with 10’ modifications to ceiling height

Does that mean that the designer model that we built with 10 foot walls and 8 foot doors now cost more to build, because it has been moved into the premier Model category? Probably.

When we choose to list our house it will be listed as a “Premier” not a designer, 10. Hope that helps with why areas now have Premier on the listing

So, for $1.4 million you get a road (with who knows how much traffic) and a neighbor 5 ft away. .........i'll pass on that one. And it looks like no trees?

Money talks!

Before crossing over 466A, there were homes built in and on Designer Lots with Premier Interior fixtures.

You're confusing that bath with another. The Master Bath has 2 sinks...

That's odd... See my earlier post (#11). Same floor plan, same square footage with the designer and premier...

It's a re-named Woodside model (4 BR, 3 BA)...

Okay so the neighbor is 10 feet away (5 feet of land owned by each of them). The road won't have much traffic at all. The road only services a couple of streets. People exiting and entering that area will be coming from Megisson onto Basinger.
