About This Home

As of April 2016

This highly sought after Laurel model is truly one-of-a-kind with builder modifications and a revised floorplan done by Pulte for this original buyer in Traditions at Longwood, a 55+ active-adult community. Situated on a corner lot, this 3BR 2.5Bath home offers great views from 2 floors and 3 sides and is a short walk to the clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, gym and swan pond. Upon entering the home, you pass the study, which offers hardwood floors and a bump out for additional space and a western exposure. Next, the vaulted entrance and hardwood floored hallway lead to a large and inviting LR with a gas fireplace and ample wall space for art or a wall-mounted TV. Adjacent to the open DR with hardwood floors and kitchen (with cherry cabinetry) sits a tiled sun room with eastern exposure and a sliding door leading to the attached deck boasting views of the pond and clubhouse. The first floor MBR offers an en-suite bathroom, a glass-enclosed shower, tub and walk-in closet. Completing the main level is a powder room, laundry room/mud room, two storage closets, a coat closet and entry to the attached two-car garage. Upstairs, the cozy FR offers a second gas fireplace, built-in bookcase, and an eastern exposure with a view of the swan pond with Portia & Frick. In addition there are 2 upstairs BRs and 1 full bath, and also a large unfinished walk-in storage space/attic attached to BR2. This insulated space can easily be transformed into a huge walk-in closet. Also, the unfinished basement can be converted into an exercise area, wine cellar, home theater, etc. Your imagination can make this happen!
