Single-Family Home Features
With manufactured home features including everything from oversized yards and detached garages to multiple bedrooms and modern upgrades, Willow Park Estates offer buyers many of the same benefits of a traditional single-family home for less:
Single and Double-Wide Models – Like any site-built home, manufactured homes come in various sizes and layouts. These include single-wide models, which provide up to 1,200 square of living space, or double-wide models offering twice that amount. Some previously owned homes may also include additions for even more space.
Private Master Suites – Master suites are common among modern manufactured homes and tend to include three and four-piece ensuites (sometimes with soaker tub, dual vanities, high-end fixtures and more) as well as walk-in closets and ample square footage.
Chef’s Kitchens – Breakfast bar counters, walk-in pantries, kitchen islands and plenty of storage are just a sampling of the many kitchen features offered by recently-built or upgraded manufactured homes.
Oversized Yards – Private yard space is a must for any single-family homeowner, and manufactured homes are no different. Perfect for families with children and pets, these larger-than-average lots provide plenty of room for decks, patios and outdoor entertaining.
Private Driveways and Detached Garages – Most manufactured home lots can accommodate a paved driveway and/or detached garage. These features provide private parking for owners, additional storage (garages) and increased resale value.
High Energy-Efficiency – Constructed under factory conditions, all manufactured homes must meet strict building standards. As a result, they include an ultra-resistant building envelope (i.e. siding, roofing, and all other components providing protection from the elements) and energy-saving appliances and systems.
Other single-family home features and upgrades to expect from a Willow Park Estates home may include:
- Vinyl Plank Flooring (laminate or hardwood)
- Upgraded Countertops and Cabinetry
- Vaulted/Cathedral Ceilings
- Skylights
- Stainless Steel Appliances
