Taylor Morrison Opens First Model Home in Old Memorial

SARASOTA, Fla. - July 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Taylor Morrison recently celebrated the completion of its first model home in Old Memorial, one of its newest Tampa Bay communities with a prime location near its famous namesake golf course and highly desirable estate-sized homesites.

Now open to the public, the stately Avondale model is certain to impress visitors with its five bedrooms and just over 4,700 square feet of living space. The design team has chosen a warm yet sophisticated color scheme of gold, cream and charcoal, with classic light-wood furniture alongside painted and metallic accents. A formal living room just off the welcoming foyer offers the option of serving as a private den, while the nearby formal dining room features a built-in wine cellar and seating for 10. The open kitchen has a center work island and walk-in pantry and overlooks a sunny breakfast nook. One wing of the home is devoted to a luxurious master suite, with his-and-hers closets, double vanities and walk-in shower. On the other side, a play room with private full bath may be re-purposed as a den or sixth bedroom. On the second level is a huge game room that is great for entertaining with a built-in bar and pool table, as well as an optional media room with popcorn machine and theatre seating. The bedrooms have been decorated with children in mind, including a young book-loving girl’s room, an outdoors-themed boy’s room with a tree house and rope bridge, and a chicly stylish room perfect for a teenage fashionista.

Old Memorial is a fit setting for this fine home with its expansive lots, large lake and abundance of preserve areas. Future residents will enjoy a number of planned amenities, including tennis courts, a fenced dog park, and a community gazebo for casual gatherings with neighbors and friends. Just outside the entrance to the community is a wealth of outdoor-inspired activities, such as walking and biking trails and boating.

The location of Old Memorial is a dream come true. It’s directly adjacent to its famous namesake -- the prestigious Old Memorial Golf Club, which is renowned for its sweeping views and challenging fairways. Located within easy reach of major transportation thoroughfares, the community is just 15 minutes from Tampa International Airport, two miles from Citrus Park Mall, and a short drive to fine dining, amusement parks and major sporting arenas, as well as nearby beaches, parks and top-rated schools.

The Avondale model is located at 9151 Tillinghast Drive in Tampa. For more information about this model or the Old Memorial community, call 813-443-5553. Additional details are available online at www.taylormorrison.com.
