St. Augustine Record - D.R. Horton/Sevilla

D.R. Horton, the nation’s largest homebuilder, is enjoying brisk home shopper traffic following its grand opening of Sevilla, its new single-family community located in northern St. Johns County. The builder is pleased to announce that Sevilla’s new model home – the Sabal – is now open for tours. Visitors to the model home on Saturday, October 17 are invited to register to win a $100 Publix gift card.

Having created numerous award-winning home designs, D.R. Horton’s Sabal floorplan perfectly represents the residential quality, architectural distinction and affordability for which the builder is renowned. Model hours are Monday through Saturday; 10 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

“We welcome home shoppers to tour the Sabal and to take advantage of our fantastic buyer incentives,” said Lauren Eastman, sales manager for D.R. Horton Jacksonville. “Coupled with outstanding price points and available loan programs, now definitely is the time to get into a new home. You can become an owner for less than you can rent.”

Priced from the low $200s, the Sabal is contemporary two-story home style that exemplifies the very best in interior and exterior planning and creative design. This gorgeous floorplan features 2,310 square feet of living space. Ample interior features include four bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

The Sabal’s inviting foyer, located at the base of the home’s staircase, leads to an adjacent living or dining room space. A centrally located gourmet kitchen includes an intimate breakfast nook and features a center island, modern appliance package, and easy-care cabinetry, countertops and flooring. A neighboring gathering room, which combines with the kitchen to form one generous open space, is a creatively designed lifestyle amenity in high demand by today’s families. It offers endless possibilities for enjoyment and plenty of space for seasonal fun. It also offers easy access to a private patio.

The first-floor owner’s suite includes a luxurious master bath with design options for dual sinks and a garden tub — the perfect place for winding down at day’s end. Additional second-story bedrooms also can serve as home office space, a media center, children’s playroom and more. A spacious, loft provides a cozy location for a central upstairs sitting area or den. This home style also features a convenient laundry room, an abundance of closet and storage space and a great two-car garage.

Owners of the Sabal floorplan also can choose to add an optional fifth bedroom. All Sevilla residences include energy-efficient, Low E Vinyl windows and 14 SEER HVAC.

“The Sabal is an impressive example of the 17 distinct home styles offered within the community,” said Glenn Brotsker, new home consultant for D.R. Horton Jacksonville. “We are currently offering 74 generous home sites that easily will accommodate any of our spacious Sevilla floorplans. This particular product line also features full-stucco exteriors.”

Residences within Sevilla are affordably priced from the upper $150s. Designs range in size from 1,322 to 3,406 square feet and feature three-, four- and five-bedrooms. For a limited time, D.R. Horton homebuyers can receive all standard closing costs paid, excluding lender-required prepaids, when they use one of the builder’s preferred lenders.

Within St. Johns County, homebuyers also may be eligible for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) loan program, which provides 100 percent financing with zero down payments for qualified applicants. While this program is subject to qualification, it is not limited to first-time buyers. With a recent increase in program income limits, a household of one to four persons can earn up to $74,900, and a household of five or more can earn up to $98,850 per year.

Sevilla’s resort-style recreational amenities include a beautifully furnished resident clubhouse, a sparkling pool with a water park, an interactive children’s playground, a fun basketball court and plenty of flexible greenspace for outdoor sports and play.

“Sevilla is located within the World Commerce Center,” said Brotsker. “It’s less than one mile to I-95 and just minutes to downtown St. Augustine. Not only does the community offer some of the best housing values in such a highly sought-after location, but Sevilla also is nearby to exciting, world-class recreation.”

With historic St. Augustine and downtown Jacksonville just minutes away, Sevilla homeowners can spend their leisure time enjoying many popular concert and sports venues; upscale regional, outlet and boutique shopping; fine and casual dining; eclectic art galleries; antique shops; the beach and much more.

Resident golf lovers can enjoy play at several local courses, including St. Johns Golf and Country Club, South Hampton golf community and Cimarron. Nearby World Golf Village offers additional play on its renowned King & Bear and Slammer & Squire golf courses, as well as a variety of recreational venues and larger-than-life movie screenings at IMAX Theater. Sevilla also is located in St. Johns County’s highly rated school district.
