TOWNHOME OFFERS BOTH VALUE, STYLE

KB Home doesn’t give its models fancy or poetic titles. It names them after their square footage. So when you say, “Wow! You really need to see the 2091!” it sounds a little funny.

But then, when you actually visit the homes, you realize that the utilitarian names don’t really reflect the planning and creativity that goes into these affordably priced but amenity-packed offerings.

Let’s take the 2091, for example, which is available at the company’s Vineyard Square townhome community in prestigious Windermere.

Priced from just $236,990, the two-story townhome has, of course, 2,091 square feet. That square footage encompasses three or four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms.

From the covered porch entry, you step inside to a foyer and a spacious great room beyond. An open kitchen featuring a big walk-in pantry is adjacent to the great room. (As an option, you can add a kitchen island — there’s plenty of space).

At the rear is a laundry room and a powder room flanked by an inviting patio. The garage, with an entry door into the laundry room, is in the back and doesn’t mar the front elevation.

Upstairs are the bedrooms. You’ll love the luxurious master suite, with a bathroom that features a separate garden tub and shower as well as a walk-in closet. There’s also a second full bathroom and two more bedrooms, both with large walk-in closets. The loft can be converted into a fourth bedroom.

KB Home has been a leader in energy efficiency for years, so it’s no surprise that the home is Energy Star certified. In fact, KB built its first net-zero-energy home in Windermere four years ago. The aptly named GreenHouse was featured as the “Idea Home” at the International Builders Show that year.

Living in Vineyard Square offers plenty of advantages beyond the quality and value of the homes. It’s near fun and funky downtown Winter Garden as well as Winter Garden Village. 

It’s also just a stone’s throw from all the major attractions, such as Walt Disney World and Universal Studios as well as the sprawling Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge. Nearby natural attractions include the stunning Butler Tibet Preserve, one of the most beautiful preservation areas in Central Florida.

KB Home was named “Most Admired Builder” by Fortune Magazine in 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2011. It was rated No. 1 Green Builder by Calvert Investments in 2010. The company has built 550,000 homes since its founding.
