Today I am reviewing the Santa Maria, Plan 2 model of Stonegate at 243 Mayfair. With an atrium and attached 2 car garage, this home provides a bit of outdoor space. Within the past months, the same model on the same street has sold for $607,500, $615,000, $610,000 and $590,000. Keep in mind some of the homes did not have some of same upgrades.
The basics:
Asking Price: $621,900
Bedrooms: 2
Bathrooms: 2.5
Square Footage: 1,484
$/Sq Ft: $419
Property Type: Townhouse
Year Built: 2012

This Plan 2 model is a two level home with an atrium and spacious garage. Upon entering, there is no formal foyer. You enter directly into the middle of a great room. To the right is the dining room and kitchen and to the left is the living room and atrium. A hallway sits straight ahead with the bathroom, staircase and built-in cabinets. The entire home has nice wood floors, apart from the tiled bathrooms.
The dining room is a decent size. The door opening towards the dining room limits the size of the area. The kitchen island separates the dining room from the kitchen. The island has space for a couple of bar chairs. The kitchen features granite countertops, white cabinetry with under lighting and stainless steel appliances. There are plenty of cabinets and counter space, but the kitchen lacks a true floor to ceiling pantry.
The living room is a decent size with a set of large windows facing out to the front and a large sliding glass door on the back side that opens to the atrium. The atrium is a standard size and can fit a small table and a couple of chairs for relaxation or entertaining.
The hallway has a large window on the left looking out to the atrium, with a coat closet and a set of cabinets under the window. The white cabinetry matches the kitchen and bathroom. Some other models have a built-in desk instead, but this model has plenty of cabinetry for storage. At the end of the hallway is the garage entrance. The garage is a two-car garage with a larger than normal space to the right for storage.
On the right of the hallway is the bathroom and staircase. The powder room has a single sink with white cabinets and white counter. Unique to the bathroom is that the far wall, past the toilet is a storage closet which sits under the staircase.
The staircase and upstairs bedrooms have wood flooring. On the way upstairs, the wall along the stairs has a built-in bookcase. On top of the staircase is a small loft area with a built-in desk and open shelving. A large window brings in an abundance of light into the area. To the left is a hallway leading to the bedrooms. On the left is a set of linen closets. Across from the linen closet is a single closet door which fits a stackable washer/dryer combo.
The secondary bedroom is a standard size with two sets of windows on two adjacent walls and is furnished with a ceiling fan. Plantation shutters decorate the windows nicely. There is a closet with dual sliding doors. The bedroom has an attached bathroom with a single sink and a large tub/shower combo. The bathroom has modern rectangular tile flooring, white cabinetry and white countertop. It appears to be in excellent condition.
Across the hall is the master bedroom. The master bedroom is on the smaller side but can nicely fit a bed, nightstands and a television/armoire. It has high ceilings and a walk-in closet located in the bedroom. The bathroom is found behind a privacy door, which keeps the noise and light out of the bedroom. It has double sinks with chrome hardware, white cabinetry, modern tile flooring, a large tub and a nice sized shower with a bench. A window sits above the tub, which brings in natural light into the area.
Overall this home is nice with the extra loft space, built-in desk and the atrium. It is also nice with the extra space in the garage. The home is walking distance to Stonegate Elementary School and the community amenities.
