Open House Review: 98 Mayfair

Today I am reviewing the Santa Clara, Plan 2 model of Stonegate at 98 Mayfair. Parking for guests is off the street in front of the home.  The home is an end unit.  Once up a flight of stairs, the living space is located on the second level.  It is walking distance to Stonegate Elementary School and all of the amenities.

The home enters into a small tile floor area at the base of the carpeted staircase with a coat closet and the double car garage entrance.  Up the flight of carpeted stairs is the great room with wood floors flowing throughout the living room, dining area and open kitchen.  The ceilings are extra high and with the windows reaching just feet from the ceiling, the great room has an abundance of natural light.

The upgraded kitchen includes granite counter tops with a full backsplash, white cabinetry with undermount lighting, stainless steel appliances, a built-in desk area and a large island with space for bar seating.  Pendant lighting decorates the island area.  There is plenty of storage space and counter space, however the kitchen lacks a true floor to ceiling pantry, but the cabinets above and below the microwave serves most similar to a pantry.

The living room sits on the other side of the kitchen island.  It is cozy but the high ceilings create a feeling of openness.  Beyond the living room is the dining area, which sits in front of balcony’s sliding glass door.  The table size would be dependent on the manner the living room is furnished. It is a smaller area the way the current home is set up.  The covered balcony fits a small table and chairs to enjoy the outdoors.

Just outside of the master bedroom are a linen closet and closet for a stackable washer and dryer.  The master bedroom has even higher ceilings than the great room, which creates a spacious feel. A ceiling fan is mounted on the ceiling.  The neutral carpet is clean and the windows are decorated with plantation shutters.  Walking through the privacy door, the master bathroom has dual sinks, a large walk-in shower, a walk-in closet and a window at the far end, bringing in natural light to the area.

On the opposite end of the home, across the great room is the secondary bedroom.  It has the same carpet as in the master and also has large windows with plantation shutters. Dual sliding closet doors sit next to the attached bathroom.  The bathroom has the same tile floors as the entrance and master bathroom, a single sink and large tub/shower combo.  It is in great condition.

I like that the bedrooms are on opposite sides of the home and the spacious feel from the high ceilings.  Whilst nice to have attached bathrooms in both bedrooms, there is not an extra powder room for guests to access.  The home is move-in ready.
