JOHN CANNON HOMES OPENS ROSEDALE LINKS MODEL
John Cannon Homes has opened its first model in the new estate section of Rosedale Links, off Lakewood Ranch Boulevard north of S.R. 70 in east Manatee County.
The Caaren model is furnished with leaseback for $949,900, including home site. The Caaren features three bedrooms, three baths, living room, dining room, kitchen with breakfast area, study, family room and three-car garage.
All of Cannon's model-home names are a reflection of the Australian heritage of John Cannon's wife, Phillipa. "Caaren" means clean, pure and fresh.
Inviting the outdoors in is a concept central to the house's design. Soft shades of green, emerald and bright lime punctuate a subtle color scheme of creamy whites, caramels and neutrals. The wood tones of the furniture and cabinetry bring warmth to the space. The furnishings and finishes were selected to achieve a balance of old and new.
"We are excited to be building in this new section of Rosedale, a beautiful, established golf and country club community that offers all the amenities today's buyers expect," said Cannon. The Hunt Group, Rosedale Links' developer, "has done an outstanding job of preserving the natural environment, which will only enhance the homes we build," Cannon added.
As a luxury custom homebuilder, John Cannon Homes has home-and-lot packages in Rosedale starting in the mid-$500,000s.
