Eighteen months after building a brand-new townhome in Winter Garden, their neighbor suggested they visit new communities that were being established in nearby Davenport. Located just 20 minutes away, Seasons at North Ridge offered larger single-family floor plans (no shared walls!) and more spacious homesites than their current neighborhood\u2014at a similar price point! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The couple quickly discovered their dream floor plan and looked into financing options right away so that they could be ready to move forward. They recommend that anyone prepping to move in the near future does the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six months later\u2014on December 24\u2014they received a very merry\ngift of closing on their new Richmond American home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About\nthe home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/reyes-feature_blog.png\" alt=\"Couple in front of their new home\" class=\"wp-image-15207\" style=\"width:420px;height:284px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/reyes-feature_blog.png 650w, https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/reyes-feature_blog-300x203.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel and Lydia chose the popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/floor-plan\/pearl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Pearl<\/a> plan, which offers a private main-floor bedroom\u2014complete with full bath\u2014that may be used as a study or a bedroom at different points in the future. The couple liked their townhome, but they love that they no longer share walls or have neighbors behind them. Having been in a residence that was sandwiched between two other homes, they truly appreciate all the windows, natural light and beautiful sunsets that they are able to enjoy from their new abode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the duo\u2019s favorite features: the spacious homesite. They didn\u2019t\nknow they needed it until they saw it, and Daniel is so excited to build out\nhis summer kitchen on the patio!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lydia and Daniel can\u2019t say enough positive things about their new\nneighborhood. Being close to I-4 eases their commutes, and they feel that\nDavenport is \u201cthe future\u201d and an amazing place for homebuyers to seize the\nopportunity of building a brand-new home. Lydia is working from home these days\nand gets to put extra time into decorating their new residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About\nthe design experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The experience of building from scratch wasn\u2019t new to Daniel\nand Lydia, but the Home Gallery\u2122 design center was. There, they were able to\nwork alongside a professional design consultant to choose flooring, finishes\nand fixtures for their new living spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy wife is a visionary when it comes to home d\u00e9cor and floor\nplans; this is truly her area of expertise. We shopped around, but nothing\ncompared to the Pearl floor plan and the many ways we could personalize the\nhome. The stair railings are particularly delightful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parting thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel and Lydia made sure to emphasize how happy they are\nthat everything came together for them and would like to tell others not to be\ndiscouraged by the details of paperwork or other aspects that go into\npurchasing a home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to this incredible couple for sharing your story\nwith us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Hear more from our <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/tag\/homeowner-stories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">happy homebuyers<\/a>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn about our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/communities\/florida\/orlando-new-homes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Orlando-area communities.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With careers in hospitality, Daniel and Lydia are experts at helping people feel at home.
