THE YORKSHIRE IS ABOUT COMFORT AND VERSATILITY

When it comes to experience in homebuilding, Pulte Homes has definitely earned bragging rights. After all, the company has built more than 775,000 homes since Bill Pulte entered the construction industry in 1950. Today, the national builder is one of Central Florida’s busiest. And topping its roster of most in-demand models is the two-story Yorkshire, which is priced starting in the $700s. The home measures 3,416 square feet and can reach up to 3,617 square feet with various structural options.

The Yorkshire boasts five bedrooms, 3.5 or 4.5 bathrooms and either a two- or three-car garage with extended storage space — which is ideal for a tool bench and work area, workout equipment or for storing everything from containers to bicycles.

When you enter the home, a wide entryway offers a view straight through the home to the covered lanai and backyard. In between, there’s an open island kitchen with a walk-in pantry and a café/dining space for a table and chairs.

First Floor

Adjacent is a large gathering room that opens to a lanai, where an outdoor kitchen is an option. You’ll also find designated flex space that homeowners can use as a formal dining room, a private den or a work-from-home office. The first floor also encompasses a bedroom suite — complete with a private bath — that’s often used as a guest room.

The other four bedrooms are on the second floor, including the owner’s suite with a generously sized bathroom. It’s important to note that all five bedrooms have walk-in closets and, for convenience, the laundry room is also located upstairs.

The second floor also includes an oversized loft. This versatile space can be used for a children’s play area, a movie room, homework space or a home office.

The Yorkshire is currently offered in seven Central Florida communities and, because of its popularity, will be available in upcoming new neighborhoods as well.

West of Orlando, you’ll find the model at Lakeview Preserve in Winter Garden, Serenoa Lakes in Clermont, Willow Ridge in Montverde and, later this year, in soon-to-open Parkview Reserve in Dr. Phillips. The Yorkshire is also available in Savannah Palms in East Orlando, Winding Meadows in Apopka and Isles of Lake Nona in Lake Nona. For more information, visit pulte.com. n
