Trying to ignore location, elevetion and age, I want to focus on what internal features you like about a floorplan.
I’ll start… it’s a newer one and although located in no_vas’ favorite area, Columbus Grove, it’s a layout that I wish Lennar had repeated at Woodbury:
It’s not 3WCG, but it does have a 3-car garage (pseudo). What I like most about this is they make most of the box space that the newer lots are built on these days.
They have a similar plan in Woodbury in both Rosemoor and Villa Rosa but quite neutered (in my opinion):
Granted, the Rosemoor plan is almost 400sft smaller but the Villa Rosa Plan 2 is 2925 and only 240sf smaller:
They removed the side facing storage garage, moved the 5th bedroom to the den area because that area is taken by a tandem garage and lost about a 1/4 of the upstairs which ended up removing the master retreat to make room for the smaller master bath.
What I like about the Alexandria plan:
1. Private tub area
2. Private shower area
3. Upstairs laundry w/ sink
4. Upstairs bedroom w/ private bath
5. Downstairs bedroom
6. Master retreat
7. Access to dining room from kitchen
8. High ceiling entry foyer
I would have probably switched the positions of the upstairs laundry and bath 2 to make it a jack-and-jill bath between br 3 and 4 and also looked into switching the den with the downstairs bedroom and creating an access door to the 3rd garage so it can actually be a guest room with it’s own garage.
What I like about the changes to the Rosemoor/Villa Rosa plan:
1. Living room (although small)
2. Laundry is two sided (sink/folding on opposite side of washer/dryer)
3. Private patio off of dining room
4. 1.5 bathrooms downstairs (powder room for guests, private bath for 5th bedroom)
5. Dual master closets
I would have probably utilized the space above the living room to create a loft area or a master retreat.
So for me, I think 2500-3000 sft and a 5br is probably the ideal house. I know that many of you vary in size and type of home but I would like to know which floorplans are your favorites and why.
