PUBLISHER’S PICK: FLOORPLAN URBAN GREEN 12 BY SCG HOLDINGS
QUAINT COLLEGE PARK GETS A MODERN LOOK WITH URBAN GREEN 12
T
he simple description is that Urban Green 12 is a new 12-unit townhome community situated in the heart of College Park, one of the most desirable established neighborhoods in Central Florida. Developed by SGC Holdings, a national single-family and townhome developer, the three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom units — three separate en suites — feature open floorplans (a total of 1,937 square feet) and ample natural light while also including individual outdoor living spaces. In essence, Urban Green 12 offers luxury along with a maintenance-free lifestyle — sort of a “lock and leave” scenario for homeowners. Also, homes are priced starting at $449,900, with the first closings expected in mid-January and move-ins by the end of January. But, just as College Park isn’t just any neighborhood, these floorplans are far from run of the mill — and offer a powerful wow factor. Each of the three-story layouts are essentially the same, so we’ll describe one to give you an idea. To begin, there’s an attached one-car garage and a welcoming private walkway to the front patio entrance — or “their own little greenspace in front of their unit,” as described by Kim Griffin of the Exclusive Premier Group, the real estate company

that handles sales and marketing. That first floor also contains a guest bedroom that’s easily convertible to a private home office or gym, plus an adjacent full bathroom with a granite countertop. The main living areas are located on the second floor, which offers abundant natural lighting, a gourmet kitchen, an open living-dining space and a large balcony. The kitchen is equipped with Samsung Energy Star appliances, including a stainless-steel convection slide-in range, a 36-inch French door-style refrigerator, and a dishwasher and microwave-hood combination. In addition, there are Quartz countertops and stainless under-mount sinks, Moen stainless-steel faucets with pullout sprayers, 42-inch-tall upper cabinets with LED under-cabinet lighting and spacious pantries. A staircase leads to the two primary bedrooms on the third floor. The master bedroom suite comes complete with an air-conditioned walk-in closet with a custom shelving system, a walk-in shower with a frameless glass door, separate soaker tubs (corner units only), and granite countertops with under-mount sinks and Moen plumbing fixtures. The second bathroom also has granite countertops. A laundry room with washer and dryer hookups is located on the third floor near the two bedrooms. Notably, given the separate en suite nature of those bedrooms and bathrooms, some prospective buyers in the young-professional demographic have indicated interest in having a roommate to share costs, according to Amanda Wood of the Exclusive Premier Group. Aside from young professionals, young families have emerged as prospective buyers.
