Taylor Morrison Unveils Newest Model Home at Reunion Ranch

SARASOTA, Fla. - May 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Taylor Morrison will host a community-wide party on Saturday, April 27th from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. to celebrate the grand opening of its newest model at Reunion Ranch. The event is geared for the whole family with games, kids tram ride, food and plenty of delicious barbeque from The Salt Lick. Attendees will be able to tour two fully furnished model homes. Taylor Morrison staff will be on site to answer any questions, as will the design team from Linfield Design Associates who decorated the nearby Meridien model.
         The Altessa model is one of the company’s top-selling floor plans in the Austin area. The elegant one-story home encompasses all the best elements of the Taylor Morrison brand – an open floor plan with flexible use space, thoughtful designer touches, and superior quality in craftsmanship and construction. With 3,163 square feet, the Altessa offers four bedrooms, three baths, a three-car garage and an optional second-level bonus room with half bath.

Taylor Morrison is known for its beautiful model homes, with finishes and furnishings that reflect a traditional yet modern décor. This particular model was styled by Millennium Designs Inc., headquartered in Austin. Wendy Morris, a principle at the firm, chose a crisp neutral color palette with warm splashes of navy to give the home a welcoming feel, accented with hardwood floors, linen draperies and scrubbed wood furnishing.  One of the most distinctive design elements of the model is the liberal use of stone throughout, from stone highlights on the exterior façade to a curved stone wall in the foyer to beautiful stone fireplaces in the great room and covered patio. The kitchen was done in dark wood cabinetry and artisan granite countertops, with tumbled travertine accents on the front of the rounded breakfast bar. One of the bedroom suites was set up as a guest room, while the other was styled for a “kid off to college” with a unique cycling-themed motif.

         The Altessa model is notable for its great entertaining spaces. The design team perfectly captured those possibilities by staging two rocking chairs in front of the outdoor fireplace on the covered patio, along with a rustic dining table near the outdoor kitchen. A small “grilling patio” just off the kitchen was set with a bistro table and chairs – a perfect spot for sharing coffee and brunch. The upstairs great room was furnished to show-off its party potential with a full-size pool table and a built-in bar with custom cabinetry.

With expansive views of rolling hills, Reunion Ranch offers just 437 homesites on oversized lots, with prices starting at $369,990. Community amenity plans include a luxurious community pool and clubhouse, an outdoor pavilion for picnics or visiting with neighbors, colorful playgrounds, and multi-use sports fields for impromptu games of football and soccer. Its enviable location is close to major transportation centers, the downtown area, highly rated schools and an array of retailers, healthcare facilities, recreational sites, entertainment venues and major universities.

Taylor Morrison currently has two model homes open in Reunion Ranch – the Altessa and the two-story Meridien. The Meridien offers a family-friendly four-bedroom design with 3,135 square feet that has been done in soft colors and rustic accents inspired by the surrounding countryside.
