Description
The largest floorplan at Elara, Orion offers the space, flexibility, and indoor-outdoor lifestyle of a single-family home in a thoughtfully designed three-story residence. A two-car side-by-side garage adds convenience and functionality rarely found in attached-home living. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite provides a private retreat unlike any other. Wake up and enjoy your morning coffee on an impressive private deck spanning more than 120 square feet. Inside, the spacious primary bedroom connects to a well-appointed bathroom and walk-in closet, creating a true sanctuary. Two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, side-by-side laundry area, linen storage, and an additional storage closet complete the second floor. The third floor is where Orion truly comes to life. A fourth bedroom and full bathroom provide flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private workspace, while the nearly 250-square-foot loft offers endless possibilities. Create a media room, game room, fitness studio, home office, creative space, or teen lounge—the choice is yours. Just beyond the loft, folding doors open to an extraordinary rooftop deck spanning more than 300 square feet, creating the ultimate indoor-outdoor entertaining experience. Host gatherings under the stars, enjoy sunset dinners with friends, create an outdoor living room, or simply relax and take in the open air. This incredible rooftop retreat transforms the third floor into a destination all its own.
