The first seven fully-furnished new models just debuted at Del
Webb’s new Nocatee community in Ponte Vedra, Florida. The new
GenYou™ designs will be introduced this fall at Jacksonville’s Del
Webb eTown and at an additional five communities through
mid-2020.
“The latest evolution of active adult floor plans stays true to
Del Webb’s focus on designing homes with the buyer in mind,” said
John Chadwick, executive vice president and chief operating officer
of PulteGroup, Del Webb’s parent company. “We engaged consumers
early on in our comprehensive product development process,
gathering and analyzing data from a range of sources that provided
the basis for creating our innovative and practical design
ideas.”
“The end result of this collaboration between data and design
are 13 new and unique floor plans, ranging in size from over 1,400
to more than 3,000 square feet, and no two of which live the same.
They put a spotlight on livability and flexibility, with practical
features to enhance convenience and comfort all for the way today’s
active adults want to experience their homes.”
Key features of the new floor plans that embody the latest in
active adult living include:
- Active adults enjoy entertaining and hosting guests in their
homes. The new plans emphasize greater openness around the home’s
main living triangle: the kitchen, café and gathering room.
Kitchens also include larger islands and a butler’s pantry with a
wine refrigerator in certain plans. At the same time, updated
bedroom suites provide private spaces for guests to wind down in
the evenings, and a newly added sitting room adjacent to the master
bedroom allows the owner to escape and rejuvenate.
- The new floor plans are designed to seamlessly incorporate
outdoor space, making it an extension of the home. Patios have
higher roofs and larger sliding glass doors to maximize natural
light and blur the line between indoor and outdoor living.
- More storage is baked into the home designs with the addition
of walk-in pantries, oversized garages and linen storage in the
owner’s bath. Spa-like baths, featuring oversized walk-in showers
(e.g., zero entry) are offered, while shower benches and controls
at the point of entry provide added convenience.
- The emphasis on form and function in design are highlighted
throughout each floor plan. For example, pocket doors minimize door
swing conflicts, the HVAC filter is easier to access, and dryer
boxes maximize laundry room space. In the kitchen, the microwave
location has been lowered and a raised dishwasher option has been
eliminated.
- Energy-saving upgrades in the form of LED lighting, radiant
heat shields for the attic, high-efficiency windows and right-sized
HVAC systems allow for lower monthly energy bills. Buyers can also
choose from a variety of Pulte Smart Home automation technologies
to enhance home safety and security, elevate the in-home
entertainment experience, and seamlessly control their lights and
thermostat with the touch of a button or the sound of their
voice.
“Del Webb’s leadership position among active adult buyers starts
with a commitment to understanding what this consumer group wants
in this next phase of their lives,” said Chadwick. “The signature
Del Webb lifestyle, centered around engaging activities and
building connections within the community, is also incorporated and
reflected in our home designs. With an emphasis on ageless living,
these new designs represent an exciting new offering for Del Webb
homebuyers.”
