Showcasing the Aubrey Plan

The easy-living Aubrey home plan boasts 1,931 square feet of living space with two or three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and a two-car garage, plus an additional golf cart garage or workshop. The home’s layout perfectly suits active adults with its open layout, convenient storage spaces, and flexible plan options, including your choice of a 3rd bedroom in place of the golf cart garage.

Let’s explore some of the design features that make this new model home a must-see!

About the Interior Design

When decorating this brand-new model home at the Falls of Ocala, our professional design team, led by Stacey Antonakas-Perez, Design Center Manager and lead model decorator, chose a casual coastal décor scheme. 

"We combined calming blues with whites, light wood, and accents of coral," said Stacey. “Furniture was selected to showcase the comfort and capabilities of the space, and greenery used throughout the house to make it warm and inviting.”

Light-filled, Open Living Area and Kitchen

“The Aubrey is a brand-new plan for Falls of Ocala and I love the way this home is laid out," said Stacey. "This home has a large, open kitchen and gathering room, which provides great natural light and many options for the furniture layout."

The design team ultimately settled on a comfortable, wide-armed sofa and two upholstered swivel armchairs, centered around a wood coffee table and flanked by end tables so there's somewhere to set down drinks, books, and devices easily.

Adding elevated design, convenience, and low maintenance, luxury vinyl plank flooring is used throughout the living area. This popular flooring upgrade combines affordability with the look of hardwood, and it far surpasses real wood thanks to its water resistance, durability, and effortless cleaning, making it a top flooring choice for those seeking style and practicality.

Among the benefits of an open living area are flow and ease of movement. Seamlessly step from the gathering room into the kitchen, where you'll find seating and dining space at the island and sunny dining cafe.

The bright, open kitchen includes ample cabinet and counter space, along with the storage convenience of a walk-in pantry, and the design team outfitted the kitchen with beautiful design options enhancing its style and functionality:

• 36-inch cabinets with crown molding and brushed knobs;
• Stunning Cambria quartz countertops;
• A stainless steel single-bowl sink with a pull-down faucet;
• A timeless white subway tile backsplash;
• Pendant lights over the island;
• Samsung stainless-steel appliances. 

Outdoor Living Space

One of the best things about living in Florida is our year-round sunshine and warm weather, and there is no better way to enjoy it than with a spacious screened lanai for outdoor living! 

In the Aubrey, a triple sliding patio door seamlessly incorporates your interior with your outdoor living space. Whether you design your lanai for lounging and relaxation as we did in this model, or instead choose an outdoor dining set for dining al-fresco, a lanai is the perfect extension of your living space and certain to become one of your favorite "rooms" in your home!

Spacious Bedrooms

When you are ready to rest and relax, your spacious owner’s suite, accessed off a private alcove, is the ideal place for unwinding. The design team painted the walls with calming blue and warm neutral paints, paired with classic white trimwork. Traditional wood furniture is covered with crisp white linens and cushy pillows.

The relaxing ambiance continues in the en-suite bathroom which includes dual vanities sitting on white cabinets with a drawer stack, a tiled, glass-enclosed shower, a private closeted toilet, and a linen closet. A large walk-in wardrobe provides ample closet space.

Bedroom 2 is styled as a guest room in this model home, and the generous dimensions make this equally suited as a home office, craft room, or whatever usage suits your needs.

The Aubrey also offers the option for a 3rd bedroom in lieu of the golf cart garage. While we did not choose to build the model home with this option, it is just one of many choices you can make when you build your personalized new home with Highland Homes in Ocala.

Built-In Storage and Flex Spaces

A common complaint about older homes is a lack of closet space and one of the many benefits of these site-built, new-construction homes is thoughtfully designed storage spaces throughout the home.

In the Aubrey, the owner's bath and bath 2 each have a linen closet, vanity cabinet(s), drawer stack(s), and a medicine cabinet, providing ample space for towels and toiletries. The powder room includes a vanity cabinet and a medicine cabinet. Both bedrooms include large walk-in wardrobes, and as noted above, the kitchen features ample cabinet space and a walk-in pantry.

And, the garage entry boasts additional storage and convenience spaces. From the garage, you step into a mudroom - an ideal space to shed shoes, jackets, and umbrellas. The mudroom has a built-in drop zone, which you could use for keys and handbags, or for a flexible use such as a pocket office or sewing station, as our designers opted to style this flexible-use space.

From the mudroom, a door opens into a dedicated laundry room. "I love that the laundry is behind closed doors," said Stacey. "You can keep it closed off from guests, and the laundry room has a second drop zone counter which is perfect for sorting and folding laundry, storage, or pet supplies."
