The Ivy is a great 4 bedroom home. The Mason and Woodside models are 4 bedroom - 3 bath homes. However except for the master bedroom, the other three are too small to put a queen size bed and a bureau or dresser........only room for a double bed and maybe a nightstand. That 3rd bathroom IMHO is a waste, and causes the bedrooms to be small.

Too Much Stuff
 

The way to avoid having too much stuff is to get rid of it before you move-that is what I did when I moved from California. Why pay to move it then either try to sell it here or find a charity to take it?You can buy more stuff in Florida if you feel you need it.

We originally were looking at 3BR/2B designer homes with 2+ garage and ended up in a 4BR Ivy with 2+ garage and very glad we chose it. No kids, but we use the BR closest to the 2nd bath for our guest room. The front "bedroom" is a TV room and the "bedroom" in between is our office. Each of the 4 bedrooms is large enough for a king bed.

We love our Ivy with 4 bedrooms. One bedroom is our office with a futon, one is a guest room with a queen bed and with an exercise bike in it, and the larger bedroom is a beautiful guest room with a king bed.
When our grandkids are here, I don’t want them in a hotel,I want to wake up with them and make breakfast for everyone.
And btw, our home has more than doubled in resale value in the 5 years since we bought it.

Woodside/Mason
 

Actually the Woodside sells very quickly. I know of at least 5 that are being built in Chitty Chatty.

We did a similar thing in our Ivy. The front bedroom we use as a den/tv room, the next is my hobby room, the 3rd is the guest bedroom next to the guest bathroom, and the 4th is our master. There are those that don't like having all 4 bedrooms on the same side of the house but the master is private and is not attached to the hallway leading to the other 3 bedrooms and we have no problem with it. They also have a nice size living area and come with one privacy wall on the lanai which is the extension of the master bedroom.

We got rid of everything we didn't want or felt we would not use however I have a hoppy that takes up room, I do my own lawn maintenance that takes up room in the garage, and coming from a home with a 4 car garage and basement, I filled up our home quickly with stuff that I absolutely need. I'm not allowed to have it look cluttered in the house so I keep all my extra stuff in a climate controlled storage unit. I need a 4 car stretched garage.

I knooooow, right?? We do too. :-) We love our family, and we want them with us when they come. :-)

I’ve had both of my kids and their families here at the same time. 3 bedrooms were fine. Thank goodness we have 3 bathrooms because the bathrooms were more important than the bedrooms.

Lol—yeah I get that 3 ba would be a huge help!! :-) One of our children would always occupy one of the bedrooms (she has a disability, so we expect she will be with us for a long time), and the other my husbands office. We could make do with a 3, but it would be tight.

Get your name on the list for the Ivy model home on Spurlock Way in Marsh Bend.

Not for sale yet. View of the 9th hole on Lowlands.

One of 7 model homes in the neighborhood.

You'll have to deal with a Villages sales person, not an independent MLS realtor.

These are furnished, and were built more than a year ago. Looking at the property tax info at Sumter County, the home will likely be listed for $650K or more, and be sold in a few minutes once listed.

There are about 100 homes in this neighborhood nestled within holes 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9 of Lowlands. One entry/exit on Spurlock Way, and 3.2 miles by golf cart to Brownwood.

My Guess is mid $700,000 range and it will sell at that.
