This model features a split floor plan, with the master suite taking up approximately two‑thirds of the rear section of the house while the patio, next to it, takes the other third. Between the front section and rear section, the great room stretches from one side of the house to the other. Although kitchen, eating nook and family room run easily one to another, the kitchen’s work space is shielded from the family room by a tall, breakfast bar counter.

The front door of this model is set deeply back on one side of the house. The door opens to a space at the front corner of the great room where a short wall on one side helps define it as a foyer but, because that wall tapers away to a diagonal instead of squaring off with a sharp corner, it creates a welcoming flow that pulls you into the great room.

Next up is plan 3511, at 1,822 square feet. A linear plan, it stacks most of the bedrooms as a row front to back along one side of the house. These bedrooms are served by two separate hallways. One hallway, just beyond the entry, leads to one bedroom and an optional flex space. The other hallway runs off the great room, and leads to another secondary bedroom as well as the master.

Between the two sections is a full bath–shown with two basins set into the counter but available with three (standard, however, is one). No boxed canyons in this house, as this bathroom opens at both sides and thereby connects the two sections.

The fourth bedroom lies on the opposite side of the house, and looks out to the front. Feasible as a guest suite, this bedroom is accessed via a hallway it shares with the home’s third full bath and a coat closet.

The front door is set back in a narrow porch enclosed by the fourth bedroom on one side and the garage on the other. It opens to a long entryway whose walls offer gallery opportunity for artwork. Its further end opens to the kitchen and, beyond that, the family room. The kitchen

features a very efficient work triangle moving compactly from stove to sink to refrigerator.

One of two models clocking in at more than 2,000 square feet, plan 3523 is also one of the two two‑story homes available at Standard Pacific’s Villages at Sonoran Mountain. At 2,420 square feet, it is a three‑bedroom that includes options for up to five (the only one downstairs would be the den‑to‑bedroom option). With two and a half baths, the home features a spacious powder room serving the downstairs and a master bath and second full bath upstairs. Two noteworthy items regarding closet space: There is a large walk‑in pantry off the dining nook downstairs, and, upstairs, the master bedroom’s walk‑in closet is not found in the bathroom.

Model homes and the information center are open Saturday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Friday from noon to 6 p.m. For viewings, call (623) 376‑8360.
