When my husband and I decided to retire and purchase a property within The Villages in Florida, we considered several weird styles; We wanted something a little greater, with plenty of living space however minimal outdoor upkeep, and after touring a variety of homes for sale, we chose a Courtyard Valla; Our new property is right around 1,500 square feet however seems even greater due to the courtyard.
We payed $250,000 for the property, then the residence is laid out with an open feel and a private, enclosed courtyard.
The courtyard is cement, which offers an outdoor great and entertainment space without worrying about trimming the sod. We have a fenced-in backyard where the pet can go out without a leash and a fence for security and privacy alongside the sides of the property as well. There are more than thirteen weird styles of courtyard villas available; Each one is accented in a certain way. We chose a “Bungalow Villa” that features three family rooms and two bathrooms. The exterior is concrete block with a stucco finish that gives it a actually “Florida-like” curb appeal. We’ve added some gardens with decorative rock for a bit of color and personalized flair. We appreciate the functionality of a two-car garage and a hockey vehicle garage. A screened enclosure is a nice spot to drink our morning or evening Tim Hortons Latte without worrying about the bugs. We cherish The Villages because there is an endless array of options to meet people, join into clubs and embrace new adventures, and spending less time on the upkeep of the house gives us more time to do things we really enjoy.
