The Manatee Model offers 2,749 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, three baths, first-floor guest suite, family room, kitchen café, covered patio with summer kitchen, solar panels, electric vehicle charging station, and two-car garage with golf cart parking. Upstairs features a spacious private family loft, owner’s suite, three bedrooms and bath.

The Manatee is a Zero Energy Ready Home®. It’s also 100% ENERGY STAR® and Indoor AirPLUS® certified. The home is designed and built with an innovative “air-sealed” attic system. Spray-foam insulation is applied under the roof deck to make the attic part of the conditioned space, so the system will work less and provide the home owners with a cleaner, healthier, more energy-efficient home.
