Search for Sun City Festival Destiny resales.
If your favorite of the Sun City Festival floorplans is the Sun City Festival Destiny model you aren't alone. A smaller version of this home was one of Del Webb's most popular floor plans ever. It was around the last phase of construction in Sun City West when buyers decided a formal living/dining room (in addition to a separate family/Arizona room) no longer made a whole lot of sense. There was a great deal of square footage that wasn't being used.
Enter the great room concept. One of Del Webb's first great room floor plans was the Sun City West Prescott. It became so popular they took it to Sun City Grand as the Palo Verde first and then tweaked it and reintroduced it as the Sun City Grand Borgata.
From there they created a floor plan for Corte Bella that I refer to as the Sun City Grand Borgata on steroids, the Encanto. The Corte Bella Encanto is essentially the same floor plan as the Sun City Festival Destiny model.
The popularity of the Prescott, Palo Verde, & Borgata was in large part due to the split bedroom floor plan, giving guests an element of privacy from the homeowners. It also was what I refer to as the "Goldilocks of square footage". In essence, at 1800 to 2000 s.f. the size felt... just right.
When Del Webb reworked the plan to create the Corte Bella Encanto/Sun City Festival Destiny, they kept the same basic split bedroom layout but dramatically increased the size of the kitchen while also expanding on the bedrooms, den, and utility room.
Take a look below at the Sun City Festival Destiny layout.
With the advent of the new searches I have set up on my website, it just got easier to find just the Sun City Festival Destiny listings out of all the other MLS listings & homes for sale in Sun City Festival.
Please keep in mind, the information found in this search is only as good as the information the individual listing agents have put into our Arizona Regional MLS. (Pay attention sellers!) Out of area agents, including many of those listing Sun City Festival foreclosures and Sun City Festival short sales, leave out search criteria that make it easy to find the listings you are looking for.
Fortunately I was able to do this search by square footage so the vast majority of Destiny listings should show up in this new search I have created for my website, KathyAndersonRealtor.com. You will also see new construction listings the builder has put into the MLS to compete with the resales. Be sure to click on the map tab to see where, in the community, the homes are located as many of the new home lot selections are north of the high tension power lines and further away from the rec center.
If the Destiny model isn't for you, you can search for other Sun City Festival real estate and homes for sale by floor plan or model name as well as search for homes by size or price point. Other favorite searches are Sun City Festival golf course homes and homes in Sun City Festival with a private pool.
Enjoy!
