VALENCIA OFFERS BOTH COMFORT AND PRACTICALITY

Taylor Morrison has been voted America’s Most Trusted Home Builder by Lifestory Research for two years in a row. And there are plenty of good reasons for the kudos. 

For years, the national builder and developer has worked hard to create homes that are innovative in design as well as unmatched in quality. A case in point is its new Valencia floorplan, debuting at the company’s Preserve at Laureate Park community in Lake Nona.

Here, bigger is definitely better. The two-story Valencia — with four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms — encompasses nearly 3,800 square feet, providing plenty of room to breathe while also meeting the needs of homeowners who want both comfort and practicality. 

It’s priced from $580,995.

Notably, according to a consumer survey conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf of Taylor Morrison in August, outdoor living is becoming just as important as the indoor living, with buyers willing to sacrifice a larger house to get a bigger yard.

The Valencia floorplan offers great reasons to want both. And it’s one reason The Preserve at Laureate Park is a winner.

For starters, there’s a first-floor owner’s suite tucked away at the back of the home, in its own secluded wing. Features include a large walk-in closet, a corner soaking tub, a walk-in shower, dual vanities and an enclosed water closet. 

There’s also additional storage space, which is never a bad thing, and a three-car garage.

Not all is hidden. The Valencia offers an ample family room/kitchen and breakfast nook. A large central island and a prep counter with an eating bar highlight the kitchen, while a walk-in pantry separates the kitchen from the formal dining room/living room combination. 

Also on the first floor are a den located off the entry, a covered lanai, a separate entry to the utility/laundry room, a tech center and a one-car/two-car split garage.

The second floor has loft space that opens to the family room below, as well as three secondary bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms share a full bath; the other has its own full bath and walk-in closet, making it ideal for a guest suite or an older teen who wants greater privacy.

Options for the Valencia include a fifth bedroom instead of a loft, as well as a wine cellar. Also, of course, numerous personal touches and upgrades can be added for style and individuality. 

Taylor Morrison serves a wide array of homeowners from coast to coast, encompassing first-time, move-up, luxury and 55-plus buyers. In addition to The Preserve at Laureate Park, Taylor Morrison is in 15 Central Florida communities.
