Avatar has homes from the low $200s in a gated, lakefront community
May 28, 2009
KISSIMMEE, FL --- Having just introduced new homes from the $70s in its master-planned community of Poinciana, Avatar® Properties Inc. has sharpened its pencil once again by offering new, luxury homes from the low $200s in its gated, lakefront community of BellalagoSM/Isles of BellalagoSM.
"We're not just offering new homes at a great price, but spacious homes on oversized lots in a gated, lakefront community that includes a pair of multi-million-dollar amenity complexes, an A-rated charter school, and neighborhood shopping," said Bruce Cole, Avatar’s® general manager of primary home building operations in Central Florida.
While many production home builders have downsized homes on postage stamp-size lots to maintain affordability and generate sales in the sluggish housing market, Avatar has stepped outside the conventional box to deliver affordably-priced single-family homes on 70-foot-wide by 125-foot-deep homesites in its award-winning, lakefront community.
"Homebuyers will be hard-pressed to find an incredible opportunity like this anywhere else in Central Florida. The location, the lifestyle, the homes and the amenities are second to none," said Cole.
Avatar® is offering "ready-to-go" Mediterranean-style homes from as little $207,939 in Stillwater Landing, one of nine neighborhoods in BellalagoSM/Isles of BellalagoSM which features over one mile of shoreline on Lake Tohopekaliga (Toho) and more than 400 acres of inland lakes and waterways.
The homes are from Avatar's® Classico Series which encompasses six 1- and 2-story plans offering 1,553 to 2,430 sq. ft. of air-conditioned living area. The $207,939 price tag will fetch a 3-bedroom, 2-bath Carrara with 1,789 sq. ft. of living area, while just $263,036 will deliver a 4-bedroom, 3-bath Pisa with 2,430 sq. ft. of living area, a 2-car garage, and a separate 1-car garage.
"Buyers know when they're getting the most bang for their buck," said Cole. "For homes this size on 125-foot-deep lots and an average of 25 feet between homes, it’s an exceptional buy."
Homes in the Classico Series feature tile roofs, brick paver driveways, walkways and entries, and also offer a broad range of floor plan designs that are practical, functional and have lots of visual appeal. Formal dining rooms, spacious great rooms, master baths with Roman-style tubs, designer kitchens, wood cabinetry with oak paneled doors, and ceramic tile in wet areas, are among the many architectural features offered.
Stillwater Landing is within walking distance of Bellalago Academy, a unique K-8 charter school that earned an A grade for the 2007-2008 school year from the Florida Department of Education, and the recently completed Village Shops at Bellalago which is anchored by a Publix supermarket with drive-thru pharmacy, plus several banks and restaurants.
The community, which has earned over 30 design and marketing awards, including two Best Master Planned Community honors in 2004, has its activities centered around two amenity complexes. Club Vialago features a massive lifestyle center, state-of-the-art fitness center, multi-pool aquatic center, children’s water park and tot lot, tennis and basketball courts, a children's playground, band shell, 1,300-foot-long boardwalk with gazebo on Lake Toho, the Sunset Terrace grille, and a boat ramp/lift at Lake Toho for powerboats up to 26 feet. Also available to residents is Club Isola which features a clubhouse with fitness center, free-form zero-entry pool, heated spa, an elaborate children’s interactive water park, and tot lot.
BellalagoSM/Isles of BellalagoSM is located on Pleasant Hill Rd., five miles south of Highway 17-92. For more information call (866) 372-3055 or (800) 249-9045, or visit the community's website at MyBellalago.com.
