Why Horizons at Carnes Crossroads Works for 55+ Buyers
The appeal of Horizons at Carnes Crossroads in Summerville, SC, is simple: single-level convenience without giving up design quality. Across the Lennar Legends Collection, you’ll see consistent finishes like quartz countertops, staggered cabinets, stainless steel natural-gas appliances, and thoughtfully placed storage. Every plan centers on an open living area with a standard fireplace, and all include a large, screened porch to make the most of Lowcountry weather. Primary suites are tucked at the rear for privacy and feature tray ceilings (per plan), dual vanities, frameless glass showers, and walk-in closets.
The Osprey: Efficient Footprint, Luxury Feel (3 BR / 2 BA)
The Osprey pairs easy maintenance with polished details. The foyer creates a true sense of arrival, with closet storage immediately at hand. Two secondary bedrooms sit toward the front—ideal for guests or a home office—served by a hall bath with quartz and a full tub/shower. A drop zone and laundry sit just off the standard two-car garage, keeping daily clutter contained and separating the guest wing from the rear primary suite.
The heart of the Osprey is the gourmet kitchen featuring an oversized quartz island, 42" cabinets, gas range with vent hood, convection oven, and a walk-in pantry with real capacity. The kitchen, dining area, and great room connect seamlessly, anchored by the standard fireplace.
Out back, the screened porch is large enough for both dining and lounge seating—an everyday extension of the living area. In the primary suite, you’ll find abundant windows, a tray ceiling, and a spa-style bath with tile to the ceiling, frameless glass shower, dual sinks, separate water closet, and a walk-in closet that turns the corner for extra storage. If you want the most streamlined option in the Lennar Legends Collection at Horizons, the Osprey hits the mark.
Best for: Right-sizers who prefer an efficient layout, minimal wasted space, and low-maintenance living without compromising on finish level.
The Collins: Storage Superstar with a Social Flow (3 BR / 2 BA)
The Collins takes everything buyers like about the Lennar Legends Collection at Horizons and adds remarkable storage. Two secondary bedrooms sit up front with a shared hall bath and an extra linen closet. The main living areas open to a well-proportioned dining space—slightly set apart for better furniture placement—leading into the gourmet kitchen with an oversized quartz island and gas appliances.
Behind the kitchen, you’ll discover a true walk-in pantry (one of the floor plan’s highlights), a coat closet, and a drop zone. The laundry room is bigger than expected, with clear potential for cabinets and organization systems.
Like every plan in the Lennar Legends Collection at Horizons, the Collins includes a standard fireplace and a generous screened porch that floods the interior with light and practically doubles the entertaining footprint to truly take advantage of our Lowcountry weather. The rear primary suite adds a tray ceiling and a large bath with a bench in the oversized shower, frameless glass, dual sinks, private water closet, and a walk-in closet with continuous flooring for a seamless look.
Best for: Buyers who host often and want abundant storage.
The Avery: “Downsize” Without Downsizing Space (4 BR / 2.5 BA)
If you’re moving from a larger home and worry about losing rooms, the Avery is the most flexible plan in the Lennar Legends Collection at Horizons. With four bedrooms and a powder room in addition to the two full baths, it preserves the spaces many owners still want: a true guest room, an office or hobby studio, and a dedicated half bath for visitors.
Two bedrooms greet you at the front, each with well-appointed closets. A stylish powder room is positioned for entertaining, while a third bedroom near the garage and laundry can double as a quiet office or private guest retreat. Throughout, you’ll notice wide-plank LVP and panel doors that elevate the finish.
The main living/dining area centers on the standard fireplace and opens to the gourmet kitchen with 42" cabinets, walk-in pantry, and natural-gas cooking—big enough to handle holidays, game nights, and everyday prep. The screened porch sits off the dining area via a glass inlay door, making alfresco meals effortless.
Set at the back for privacy, the primary suite can accommodate king-size bedframe and a sitting area. The ensuite bath adds a zero-entry, frameless glass shower with bench and transom window, dual vanities, separate water closet, and a spacious walk-in closet.
Best for: Buyers who are downsizing from a larger home but still want single-level living with four bedrooms, generous storage, and entertaining-ready spaces.
