Waverley New Homes for Sale | Sarasota FL | sarasotadavid.com

Image
As your new home specialist, I'm constantly updating the construction process at the many new home developments in Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, and The West Villages in Venice, FL. Yesterday we had nice weather window so I toured Waverley.  It's located east of I-75 off Proctor Road in Sarasota, in one of Sarasota's best school districts. Waverley will have 90 homes when completed, most starting in the $500's.  The builder offers semi-custom construction options that, for example, can turn a little used dining room and 4th bedroom into a home office suite or an inlaw suite.  Waverley is perfect for the home buyer looking for something just a bit different, falling in between the large national builders and the luxury custom home builders. Take a tour of Waverley in the above video, and subscribe to my YouTube Channel to stay up to date:   http://www.youtube.com/c/Davidbarrhomes For more information on Waverley, visit my website https://www.sarasotadavid.com/wa

Yesterday between rain showers I visited Waterside at Lakewood Ranch , an exciting new home community. Entry into Shoreview in Waterside Lakewood Ranch Much like most new construction, there's bits of information all over the place for Waterside.  In my role as new home specialist, assisting home buyers for this community, I've been gathering everything I can find, and putting this information in one place in my blog and on my website, lakewoodranchdavid.com . Four builders are well underway in Waterside, with new homes eventually ringing 20 miles of shoreline over 7 huge lakes.  Thankfully, there's more emphasis on coastal themed designs than the typical Mediterranean styles we have seen for a number of years. The planned 12 neighborhoods have been designed to be walkable to Waterside Place, as well as a planned 8 acre lakefront park.  Two communities, Shoreview and Lakehouse Cove, are the first to be under construction and already have a good selection of
