Now Open: New Model Homes in Wildwood, FL

If you’ve been dreaming of a new home in Wildwood, FL, your moment has arrived. Two stunning model homes are now open at Woodland Crossings, showcasing the value and lifestyle afforded in this all-ages community of thoughtfully designed homes priced from the $260’s, with resort amenities.

Located west of downtown Wildwood, living at Woodland Crossings combines peaceful rural surroundings with convenience to highways, recreation, and nearby cities such as The Villages, Leesburg, and Ocala. Whether you already live in the area and are ready to plant roots in a home of your own, or you are relocating to enjoy Florida living without the price tag or age restrictions of The Villages, Woodland Crossings has homes that suit your needs. Let’s take a tour! 

A Home for All Ages: The Raychel

The Raychel plan is loved by homeowners of all ages – and it’s easy to understand why! Offering 1,819 square feet of living space with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage, it checks all the boxes: beautiful curb appeal, an open, airy layout, a spacious and private owner’s suite, flexible secondary bedrooms, and inviting outdoor living space, with beautiful finishes and a warm and welcoming aesthetic.

The Heart of the Home: A Bright and Open Living Area

The moment you walk through the front door, you feel at home in the Raychel. Stepping through the entry foyer, you land in an expansive, open living area with volume ceilings and a glow of sunlight, where the gathering room, kitchen, and dining café flow together beautifully, creating one connected space.

Our talented lead model decorator, Stacey Antonakas-Perez, brought the space to life with a nature-inspired palette of warm woods, beige, and earthy greens that feels fresh yet grounded. Luxury vinyl plank flooring in a natural wood tone is throughout the living area, and plants are woven throughout the space, adding life and a welcoming ambiance.

“I love the calming nature of greens in décor, and green works well with wood and metallic accents,” said Stacey. “My favorite piece in this model is the glass-front metal and wood hutch in the gathering room, which I found at Ashley Furniture. It’s the perfect height on a tall wall, and the arched profile suits the ceiling peak.”

The kitchen is anchored by a large counter-height island, and showcases popular design features, including:

• 36-inch birch wood cabinets with crown molding,
• White quartz countertops,
• A classic subway tiled backsplash.

The kitchen is completed by a walk-in pantry, providing convenient storage space, and an adjacent café has space for a dining table seating six. The café opens to a covered lanai, providing desirable outdoor living space.

Your Personal Retreat: The Owner’s Suite

The owner’s suite in the Raychel was designed to feel like a retreat from the moment you cross the threshold. An elegant tray ceiling and a beautiful box-trim accent wall set a sophisticated tone, while the walk-in wardrobe gives you the storage you need. 

The en-suite bath includes dual vanities, a tiled shower, a linen closet, and a closeted toilet. If you want to take the spa experience one step further, there’s an optional luxury bath upgrade featuring a garden tub and separate shower. 

Secondary Bedrooms = Flexible Spaces

The secondary bedrooms in the Raychel model have been styled to show just how versatile these spaces are: One is set up as a guest bedroom, one as a kids’ room, and one as a dedicated home office, giving you a clear picture of how the home adapts to your needs. 

“Wallpaper continues to be popular in décor because it is an easy way to add personality to a room,” said Stacey. “In this model, we used wallpaper in the guest bedroom and the kids’ room, tying into the nature-inspired décor with playful patterns.”

Living Large: The Westin II

Spacious and flexible, the Westin II plan is a home that is a joy to decorate - and to live in! With 2,314 square feet of living space, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a 3-car garage, a den, and flexible plan options, you’ll quickly see why so many homebuyers choose the Westin II.

It starts outside, with a large columned front porch, stone accents, and Craftsman-style exterior details combining to create beautiful curb appeal. An 8-foot entry door opens into an inviting living area, decorated in a clean, modern palette of blues, blacks, and whites, giving the space a polished and contemporary feel.

Open Concept Living + Formal Dining

Stepping inside, you immediately see a space designed for everyday living and entertaining alike, ready to be filled with laughter and conversation. A large, sunny gathering room seamlessly flows into formal and casual dining spaces, with a counter-height breakfast bar keeping the kitchen open to the activity, and 9’-4” flat ceilings throughout the home add to that sense of generous, airy space.

“The large, open living area allows for versatile furniture setups,” said Stacey. “We chose a large sectional with extra side chairs, and with more seating at the dining room table, café table, and at the bar, you can easily see how there is plenty of space for entertaining.”

The gathering room opens to a large covered lanai, extending your living space outdoors and bringing natural light into the living space.

Stepping into the kitchen, you will find ample cabinet and counter space, a walk-in pantry, and beautiful finishes, including:

• 36-inch white cabinets with crown molding
• Elegant veined white quartz countertops
• Pendant lights over the bar

Large Bedrooms + A Sweet Suite 

The owner’s suite in the Westin II is generously sized, finished with an elegant tray ceiling, and completed by a large walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious en-suite bath. The suite is sized to comfortably accommodate a king-size bedroom set and a seating area, a detail that makes a genuine difference in your day-to-day comfort.

The en-suite bath is a true spa experience, complete with dual vanities, seated vanity space, a garden tub, a separate tiled shower, a linen closet, and a closeted toilet. For those who prefer, there’s an option to replace the garden tub with an oversized shower. 

The secondary bedrooms in the Westin II are a nice size as well, and outfitted in this model to showcase how they can suit everyone in the family, and beyond!

A comfortable guest bedroom is positioned at the back of the home, with an adjacent bathroom, making it ideal for visiting family or out-of-town friends. Though not showcased in this model, the option is available to enclose this bed and bath as an in-law suite, a thoughtful option for multigenerational households or those who frequently host long-term guests. 

Another bedroom has been decorated for a young girl, and the third as a dedicated dog room - after all, our furry family members are just as important, and it’s inspiring to see a space designed especially for them! 

“I simply love the custom-made dog beds, feeding station, and closet in this model,” said Stacey. “My dogs would absolutely love this bedroom, and I hope it inspires our homeowners to think about how they might use the space.” 

Flexible Rooms + Plan Options

We’ve covered the expected spaces in a home – and we aren’t done yet! The Westin II has even more to offer.

Tucked off the foyer and overlooking the front porch, a flexible-use den is one of the Westin II’s most appreciated features. Available with optional French doors, it’s the ideal space for a home office, a reading room, or a quiet retreat away from the main living areas. 

In addition, the Westin II offers a number of plan options providing flexibility to build a home that suits your needs:

• An in-law suite, mentioned above, enclosing bedroom 4 and bath 3 into a private suite.
• Bathroom options, including a shower only in the owner’s bath, and a shower instead of the tub in bath 3.
• An extended under-truss lanai, adding 5 feet of depth to the already large outdoor living space.
• Window and door options, including French doors in place of sliding glass doors, and keeping or removing the pool door in bath 3.
• Garage extensions, adding space for storage and long vehicles.
