Homes in Avatar’s® TerraLargoSM satisfy a variety of lifestyles
January 21, 2009
LAKELAND, FL --- TerraLargoSM, the award-winning Tuscan-style single-family home community by Avatar® Properties Inc. on Lakeland’s north side, is proof positive of a community whose homes have a universal appeal.Popular with a broad spectrum of market segments ranging from first-time buyers and multi-generational households to active adults, TerraLargoSM has lived up to the adage of offering something for everyone.
This gated, lakeside community, which earned a 2007 Beautification Award from the City of Lakeland, offers a total of nine 3- and 4-bedroom plans from two outstanding collections that are priced from the low-$200s.
Two plans leading the sales parade are the Milano from Avatar's® Castello series, and the Toscana from the company's Palazzo series.
The Milano, a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with 2,033 sq. ft. of air-conditioned living area, has been extremely popular with first-time buyers and homebuyers looking to downsize, according to Ann Tonelli, sales manager for the community on Sleepy Hill Road, just ¼ mile from the Lakeland Square Mall.
"For first-time buyers, it is the perfect place to grow into and not over buy by having unused rooms," said Tonelli."And for those downsizing, it gives the feel of a much larger home so the owners don't have to sacrifice their larger furniture pieces or the spacious gourmet kitchen they’d grown accustomed to in a larger home."
The Milano features vaulted ceilings in most rooms, a sizeable 323 sq. ft. master suite with sitting area, and a kitchen with breakfast bar that, while roomy enough to accommodate an optional center work island, is open to a formal dining room and family room.
The Toscano, a 4-bedroom, 3-bath, home with 3,162 sq. ft. of air-conditioned living area, has been extremely popular with extended and multi-generational families, Tonelli said.
"We're seeing more multi-generational households in this market than ever before," Tonelli explained. "The Toscano meets that market need with a popular first floor master suite, and a guest suite with bath on the opposite side of the house for privacy that makes a great mother-in-law suite."
The second floor houses a pair of additional bedrooms, full bath, and a loft that "is a perfect retreat for the children," said Tonelli, noting buyers have the option of expanding the loft space by creating a 560 sq. ft. bonus room that can serve as a media room, recreation room or fitness center.
In addition to TerraLargo'sSM two best selling plans, there are a number of specially priced homes that are ready for immediate occupancy for which Avatar® will pay up to four percent of the purchase price in closing costs, pre-paids and discount points.
Centrally located between Tampa and Orlando, TerraLargo'sSM centerpiece is an eye-catching, 5,000 sq. ft. clubhouse that overlooks 29-acre Meadow View Lake and an amenity complex consisting of a sculpted, zero-entry pool and spa embraced by lushly landscaped courtyards. The clubhouse also includes a kitchen, multi-purpose rooms, and men's and women's shower and locker room facilities, while outdoor amenities also include a children's playground, and boardwalk with gazebo on the lake where residents can fish and use non-motorized craft.
TerraLargoSM is one of five Central Florida communities --- Poinciana, Solivita®, BellalagoSM and the Isles of BellalagoSM --- being developed by Avatar®. It is located at 1775 Sleepy Hill Road, just 500 feet from a neighborhood YMCA and Sleepy Hill Elementary and Sleepy Hill Middle schools.
To get to TerraLargoSM, take I-4 to exit 32 (U.S. 98). Go north about one mile to the third set of traffic lights and turn left on Sleepy Hill Road. TerraLargoSM is 1/2 mile on the right.
