The Berkshire at On Top of the World

One of the biggest problems that many boomers run into with their new homes is that they are either too big to maintain, or too small for all of their stuff. The Berkshire at On Top of the World in Ocala offers up the perfect combination of comfortable coziness and space to spread out.

Starting at $225,990, this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is one of the options in On Top of the World's Premier Series. It contains the open floor plan that everyone is looking for these days, as well as a covered lanai, a great flex space off of the foyer, and a spot in the garage for your golf cart!

With its stone facade and clean lines, you can already see that this house looks great from the outside. Now let's head inside and take a look around!

Just inside the front door is where you will find your flex room. This space is yours to do whatever you like with. Many people prefer to make it into a formal sitting room, a study, or a library. But it could also function well as a craft room for your next passion project.

Opposite the flex room, in the front corner of the house, is where you will find the guest bedroom. The triple window overlooking the front lawn ensures plenty of natural light for whoever you invite to stay here.

If you don't have a need for a guest bedroom, this room can also work great as a crafting room or office area.

Right next to the guest bedroom is where the guest bathroom is located. From this picture, you can catch a small glimpse of the great ceramic tile details around the bathtub.

Standing back in the front entryway with the flex room to your left and the guest bedroom and bathroom to your right, you can see straight back into the heart of the home's open floor plan.

With large ceramic tile throughout this section of the house, the living room, kitchen, and dining room all flow together very nicely.

This shot from the opposite side of the home shows your just how well the living room and dining room work together in this floorplan. It would be no problem to rinse off some dishes while carrying on conversations with guests seated at the bar or over in the living room.

From this angle, you can see that anyone hanging out in the dining room could also be a part of that same conversation. You can also see how the fabulous countertops complement both the cabinets and the backsplash.

This even wider shot shows you the entire dining room, kitchen, and living room layout. If you are big on entertaining guests, you will definitely not have a problem doing so here in the Berkshire.

Taking a closer look into the dining room, we can see through the sliding glass doors out onto the covered lanai. While the covered lanai is a standard feature with most homes in Florida, it's still worth noting how functional it will be with the excellent year-round climate.

At the back of the kitchen you can see the refrigerator and pantry space. Then just to the right you will find the doorway that leads into the master suite.

With an even bigger triple window than we saw in the guest bedroom, there is tons of natural light here in the master bedroom.

Not only does the master bathroom feature his and hers sinks, it actually has them located on either side of the room. That means that his mess can stay on his side, and her clutter can stay on her side!

The final touch to the perfect master suite is this amazing walk-in closet. With the way this storage area is designed, you will be able to fit way more clothes than you would in a normal walk-in closet!

With all of it's great hi-end features, the Berkshire at On Top of the World offers up everything you could want in a retirement home. All while keeping the size of the home manageable and the price at a place where regular people can afford it.
