D.R. Horton Introduces New Sebring Model and Five “Quick Move-In” Homes at Beautiful Azalea Ridg

Jacksonville, FL – October 12, 2009 – D.R. Horton is pleased to introduce to home shoppers its Sebring model now open at Azalea Ridge – its newest single-family community in Middleburg. The Sebring is just one of the exciting floorplan designs currently being offered by the nation’s largest homebuilder.

Quietly nestled in rural Clay County, stunning Azalea Ridge is proving to be one of the area’s hottest new residential addresses. Visitors to its spacious Sebring model will enjoy an informative tour that showcases D.R. Horton’s innovatively planned home styles. Model hours are Monday - Saturday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

“Azalea Ridge is far from what you would expect in a typical rural community,” said Robert Woods, new home consultant for D.R. Horton Jacksonville. “Its natural beauty is the perfect compliment to our architecturally distinct three-, four- and five-bedroom residences. We invite home shoppers to tour our new model and learn about the fantastic builder and government incentives currently available.”

The Sebring is a contemporary home style that exemplifies the very best in interior and exterior planning. This ample floorplan offers 1,741 square feet of living space, and features four bedrooms and two baths.

The Sebring’s front entry welcomes you to a centrally located living and dining room combination. The gourmet kitchen features modern appliances, easy-care cabinetry, countertops and flooring. It is ideally situated between a cozy gathering room with fireplace and an intimate breakfast nook.

The relaxing owner’s suite includes a luxurious master bath and spacious walk-in closet. The Sebring’s additional three rooms are perfect as home office space, a media center or children’s play room. Other great design elements include energy-efficient Low E vinyl windows, a 14 SEER HVAC system, a convenient laundry room, plenty of closet and storage space, a relaxing back patio and a generous two-car garage.

“Azalea Ridge is a great place for anyone wanting a first or second home to put down roots, or for those looking for spacious, family-friendly residences,” said Woods. “Azalea Ridge offers 17 creatively designed floorplans. Homes range in size from 1,022 to 3,402 square feet and are phenomenally priced from the $130s.”

Currently, five of D.R. Horton’s “Quick Move-In” homes are available for purchase and closing prior to the November 30 deadline for the federal tax credit. D.R. Horton pays all standard closing costs, excluding lender required prepaids, when a qualified buyer uses a D.R. Horton preferred lender.

In keeping with the builder’s reputation for developing neighborhoods with the perfect blend of natural beauty and modern convenience, Azalea Ridge is a beautifully landscaped environment that offers a great escape from the hustle-and-bustle of city life. This charming country setting provides a well deserved respite from the cares of the day.

Residents of Azalea Ridge have plenty of local recreation just outside their doors. Planned community amenities include an interactive children’s playground, a challenging tennis court and a spacious multi-purpose sports field.

From aquatic adventures on the nearby St. Johns River to championship golf at any of the challenging local courses, residents have plenty of opportunity for diverse and active lifestyles. Clay county offers great camping, boating, agricultural events and fairs, museums and local heritage. The School District of Clay County provides a public education experience that is motivating, challenging and rewarding for all children.

Just a short drive away, an 832-acre Equestrian and Recreation Complex and 20,000-acre Jennings State Forest each provide plenty of open-air fun such as jogging/bike paths, fishing, canoeing, hiking, horseback riding, picnic areas and more.
