Can I have a pool in my backyard?
Presently we have 3 home sites available that would
allow for a pool to be added. Most of our home sites
are patio home sites. Given the sub-tropical climate
of the island, keeping up a large yard can be very
time consuming and lots of work. Our home sites have
nicely landscaped front yards with a full irrigation
system. The smaller yards either back up to woods
or a large lagoon with a walking trail and fountain.
We have landscape maintenance packages available for
$65-$80 per month.
Why build new?
These award winning floor plans offer large walk-in
closets and spacious living areas, ideal for entertaining.
Many older homes have small closets, small bedrooms,
out dated bathrooms, no garage and floor plans that
have become functionally obsolete over the years.
Old oak cabinets, outdated wallpaper, ugly countertops,
old carpet and outdated appliances can make for an
expensive remodeling job. Often times even after remodeling,
the layout still has wasted space. Our homes at Carolina
Isles incorporate the latest in maintenance free exterior
finishes, large livable spaces, state of the art appliances,
beautiful furniture quality finish cabinetry, 9' ceilings,
all master bedrooms are on the ground floor, 2 car
garage with remotes, and as a small gated community,
provides lots of privacy.
