Offering One-Story, Two-Story and Lennar’s Next Gen – The Home Within a Home

I can safely say this cuz no one owns – or even has a deposit – on any of these yet, but wow are those some bizarre layouts.
Let’s start with Residence 2 (which is the first one they list, followed by Residence 1 ??). I’d be miffed before I even walked in…it is a 4 car garage but it is double-tandem! I tell ya, the last thing I want to do is jockey cars around to get my favorite ride out for the day. It would make me grumpy. Then what’s with the narrow layout on a 2900 sf home? It feels like a row house! I want some shoulder room if I’m buying a house that big! Also a lil confused as to why there is an office but no LR, though I suppose you could use the office as a LR. Do people not want LRs any more?
Now for Residence 1, which is the second house shown. Single story, 3 car tandem. Still a lil grumble about the garage, but let’s go in. Open door. There’s a BR. There’s another. And yet another. !! You pass 3 bedrooms and then comes the DR. Wait, where’s the LR? That’s right, there isn’t one. And the BRs really couldn’t be used as one without knocking out a wall. Next!
Residence 3. Next Gen. They probably mean 2 generation, cuz there is no way you’d buy this house without a relative wanting to use the part of the house that is partitioned off. And the garage entrance is on the opposite side of the house as the front door. Is there an alley? If not, I’m not sure how that’s gonna work. Let’s go in. DR…nook…FR…BR…garage. No LR? Not even something you can convert into a LR? And this is the 3600 sf big bomber!
Maybe these would work for some families. Maybe times they are a’changin and I’m stuck in the 00s. Maybe I should have a glass of wine and shut up.
