Orchard Flower: Luxury Dreams Custom Made for the New Empty Nester By Grenadier Homes
Share News:
Empty nesters today have a far, far different housing story than their parents’ tale. Right-sizing options are all over the map: get a smaller home, get a bigger home, sell the family homestead, keep your city place as efficient as possible. Empty nesters are building a huge custom home next door to me. And I recently heard of a couple who built a 10,000-square-foot retirement home at age 90, with only one bedroom, in Idaho as a retirement villa. When they were building, they had one request of their builder: just finish it before we die.
In fact, many empty nesters build vacation homes to become full-time homes after retirement. No matter what they want, empty nesters will find a host of right-sizing perfection in Flower Mound’s new Orchard Flower neighborhood, a gated community built for the active adult 55-plus lifestyle with snazzy style but comfort as an inherent design.
Grenadier Homes, the folks who are sprucing up Midway Hollow and other Dallas communities with their innovative one-story floor plans and easy living/universal designs, will premiere two luxury patio home models in the Orchard Flower community this week, Thursday, May 19, from 4pm until 7pm, at 1955 Virburnum Drive, Flower Mound, TX (75028).
Hosting the event will be Grenadier Homes founders Anthony Natale and John Egnatis, Grenadier Homes new homes sales counselor Scarlett Murray and Maxine Smith, vice president of design, plus Grenadier Homes talented Design Team. Refreshments, surprises and more will be part of the afternoon’s activities. The event is open to the public by sending an RSVP to [email protected] or by calling 469-250-6436.
If you have not experienced a Grenadier Homes property, this is a major chance to be blown away by what this company offers in terms of forward thinking design and tremendous value. The company has 98 custom-built patio homes planned priced from the low $400,000’s at Orchard Flower, with each luxury patio homes a relaxing retreat, both inside and out. The architectural designs at Orchard Flower include both French Country and Texas Hill Country external features and landscaping.
With twenty-one different designs and multiple elevation options per plan, the mostly one-story floor plans range in size from 2,160 square feet to 3,398 square feet and will include 3-4 bedrooms, 2-3 baths, flex space and two car garages.
Grenadier Homes’ dedication to Universal Lifestyle Design includes wider doorways, spacious hallways and easily accessible bathrooms and showers to insure that comfort is an inherent design in this adult community.
“Every one of our luxury patio homes at Orchard Flower are thoughtfully designed and built with Grenadier Homes’ unique features and high-end amenities, architecturally significant elevations, enhanced landscape and fencing, and most importantly more square footage on the first level where you spend most of your time,” said Anthony Natale, president, Grenadier Homes.
Grenadier Homes make so much sense, you won’t believe the vast amount of common sense that is a guiding principle of each home.
“It’s no surprise that people, no matter what stage of life they’re enjoying, will discover how a Grenadier home is really a perfectly sized custom home at a value price. It’s the start of a new life to truly enjoy the things that matter most,” said John Egnatis, CEO, Grenadier Homes. “We’ve done all the thinking and planning for every resident at Orchard Flower. In many cases, just by “Lifesizing” and eliminating rooms you never use, many buyers will find that our new efficient homes which are HOA managed allows them to save in the range of $2,500 to $3,500 per month as opposed to their larger older home. This effectively pays for the new home in 15 years or pays the interest. We’re providing them with extra time and money to reach into their bucket list and enjoy the things that matter most.”
A true lock-and-leave, Grenadier Homes Smart Design keeps Orchard Flower residents’ lifestyle in mind. Each patio home includes an inviting front porch and private covered patios, community gathering courtyards and an amenities center with many social options, allowing for neighborly get-togethers.
With a homeowner’s association responsible for yard work, residents can enjoy more time visiting with neighbors in this tight-knit community, take advantage of the walking trails and resort style pool, or play with their grandchildren at nearby Heritage Park.
Every street is named after a beautiful Texas flower, adding to the beauty of the landscaped patio homes. Orchard Flower is conveniently located northwest of Old Orchard and Flower Mound Road (FM 3040), and is just minutes from DFW Airport, Lake Grapevine, Lake Lewisville, Cowboys Golf Club, Bridlewood Golf Club, I-35E, Hwy 121 and many shopping, dining and entertainment options.
Energy efficiency should be a critical focus of today’s savvy new home builder; it certainly is at Grenadier.
