The Evergreen

Address: 11930 Prior Park
Neighborhood: City Park
Builder: K Hovnanian Homes

Price: $143740


Incentives: $10,000 in incentives that can be put to lowering the cost of the home, down payment assistance (3%) , and closing cost. They will likely also include down payment assistance seperately as an added incentive because it is the last of this style of home and they are trying to get rid of it.


Bed/Bath: 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath. All 4 bedrooms are upstairs with the kitchen, dining, livingroom, and utilty room downstairs. Master bedroom is about 15'X13', all other bedrooms are 10'X10'.

Square footage: 1818

Garage: 2 car garage in separate from house

Yard: Back yard is small. Will need mowed and seeded to look better.

Appliances: Dishwasher, Stove, Oven, Microwave, Fridge, Washer/Dryer, all included. Kitchen appliances are all black.

Taxes/yr: about 3.25% before the tax forgiveness which is given to most.

Added Utilities: $440/yr for neighborhood upkeep (basically the front yard).

Distance from School: 10 miles

Pros:

-brand new home, close to school, rooms are wired and blocked for ceiling fans, home in culdasac, lots of natural light, attic entrance upstairs, appreciation potential (about 8% a year), area is in development commercially with a Sam's coming in and various restaurants and a new elementary school. Neighborhood offers other floorplans comparable in size and price.

Cons:

-detached garage, small backyard, cramped streets in neighborhood, blinds and fans needed, ugly power box in front yard. Lighting fixtures need a little updated for the optimum look.










The kitchen and bathroom nook are all lamenate floors. There is a formal dining area, family room and living room downstairs with the 4 panels of windows in the front and back of the house. This first picture shows part of the kitchen and the built in desk. The utility room is just off the kitchen. The second picture is of the very small backyard, and the building is in fact the 2 car garage.













The dining and living room are right as you walk in, as are the stairs (in the first picture, the front door would be at the left). The second picture is the master bath. There is a garden tub with a separate shower, and two sinks. All the closets in the house are good sized and the master is a huge walk-in.

We do have a floorplan for this home, just no scanner to attach it to this post.
