Thoughtful layouts, bright interiors, and low-maintenance finishes define the Cottage Collection at Horizons by Lennar in Carnes Crossroads. The Hampton, Drake, and Carlye designs exemplify how these 55+ homes balance everyday function with smart, customizable features.

The Hampton - Built for Daily Ease

The Hampton at Horizons in Carnes Crossroads is a single-level home designed for right-sized living without wasted space. Purpose-built for 55+ living, this plan delivers two bedrooms, two baths, and all the right spaces—without unnecessary square footage.

The secondary bedroom sits at the front of the home for added privacy and enjoys easy access to a nearby hall bath—conveniently positioned just off the two-car garage. Throughout the home, wide-plank floors and abundant side windows flood the interiors with natural light. Down the central hall, the private primary suite features an expansive walk-in closet and a bright, spa-style bath with a transom window, zero-entry shower with seat, dual sinks, tasteful tile, and a separate water closet.

Soaring ceilings and generous windows define the main living spaces. A distinct dining area adjoins a signature Lennar kitchen known for its clean lines, natural gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, and oversized quartz island and countertops, plus a walk-in pantry behind a panel door. The kitchen flows to the standard screened porch—ideal for enjoying Lowcountry weather nearly year-round.

The Drake - Compact Footprint, Big Flex

At 1,435 square feet on one level, The Drake starts efficient and can scale up. Buyers may add a full second story with a loft, bedroom, and bath, pushing total space near 2,000 square feet.

Step inside to a foyer that flows into a stylish kitchen with a large island, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, gas range, and a pantry beside the dining area. Bedrooms two and three share a hall bath, and a dedicated laundry nook keeps chores organized. The great room opens to a screened porch—perfect for enjoying Lowcountry evenings. Set at the back of the home, the primary suite includes a spa-inspired bath with a tile-to-ceiling shower and bench, dual sinks, and an oversized walk-in closet.
 
The Carlyle - Open, Low-Maintenance Living
