San Benito Floor Plan – Sun City Shadow Hills, CA

Read more about this resourceDetails, local context and useful information.

Approx. 2,147 SQFT | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Baths | Den | 2-Car Garage + Golf Cart

The San Benito is one of the larger and more spacious floor plans in Sun City Shadow Hills. At approximately 2,147 square feet, it gives owners more room to spread out without making the layout feel oversized just for the sake of being oversized. What makes the plan work is how the space is divided. The primary suite has real presence, the guest bedroom and den sit in useful positions, and the living room, dining area, kitchen, and breakfast nook all connect in a way that feels open but still organized.

Based on our uploaded measured plan, the San Benito includes 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a dedicated den/office, a generous foyer, and a 2-car garage with golf-cart space. It also includes the kind of room sizes that make everyday living easier. The primary bedroom is unusually large, the kitchen has enough presence to anchor the living side of the home, and the separate dining area plus breakfast nook give owners more flexibility than many smaller plans offer.

Why buyers love the San Benito

  • A larger footprint with better separation: the San Benito gives buyers more breathing room, with clearer division between living space, private bedroom space, and work/flex space.

  • An oversized primary suite: on our measured plan, the primary bedroom is about 22'10" x 18'3", which gives the owner’s side of the home a much more substantial feel.

  • More than one dining area: the dedicated dining area and breakfast nook make the layout more versatile for casual meals, entertaining, and everyday use.

  • A real den/office: the office sits in its own defined area, making it more useful than a small niche or open corner flex space.

  • Strong utility: laundry, a large garage, and added golf-cart capacity make the home practical for full-time owners and seasonal residents alike.

San Benito at a glance (layout walkthrough)

I based the room-size walkthrough below on our uploaded measured floor plan, so small differences from original builder sheets are normal.

1) Entry + first impression

On our measured plan, the foyer comes in at about 12'5" x 11'5". That creates a more composed first impression than many smaller plans. Instead of stepping directly into the center of the home, you enter through a space that gives the San Benito a more established and comfortable feel right away.

2) The living side of the home: open, but not overly blended

One of the San Benito’s strengths is that it gives the public side of the home more than one usable zone. Rather than forcing everything into a single room, it gives each area a more defined role while still keeping the spaces connected.

Our measured plan shows:

  • Living Room: 16'7" x 17'4"

  • Dining Area: 9'2" x 17'5"

  • Kitchen: 13'5" x 13'3"

  • Breakfast Nook: 13'1" x 7'11"

That combination gives the home more flexibility. The living room remains central, the dining area gives owners a more formal place to gather, and the breakfast nook helps the kitchen side feel useful for daily life instead of purely decorative.

3) Primary suite

The primary suite is one of the biggest reasons this floor plan stands out. On our measured plan, the primary bedroom measures about 22'10" x 18'3", which is far larger than what many buyers expect in a 2-bedroom home. The suite also includes a substantial primary bath and a walk-in closet, helping the owner’s side feel private, comfortable, and genuinely spacious rather than just adequate.

4) Guest bedroom + den/office

The secondary bedroom measures about 13'2" x 12'10", and the office/den about 10'3" x 13'1". That is a strong setup for buyers who want both a true guest bedroom and a dedicated space for work, reading, hobbies, or media use. Because these rooms are not pushed into the main living area, they feel more functional and more private in day-to-day use.

5) Laundry + garage + utility

The measured plan shows the laundry at about 6'6" x 8'10" and the garage at about 29'0" x 23'5". That utility side reinforces what the San Benito does well: it supports real everyday living. The garage size aligns well with the plan’s 2-car + golf-cart setup, and the measured plan also shows an additional room near the garage area that adds another layer of flexibility depending on how an owner uses the space.

Who the San Benito is best for

The San Benito usually fits buyers who want:

  • a larger 2-bedroom floor plan without needing to move up to a full 3-bedroom model

  • a truly oversized primary suite

  • a dedicated office or den for work, hobbies, or reading

  • both a dining area and a breakfast nook

  • a garage setup that better supports desert lifestyle living and golf-cart use

  • a layout that feels substantial, organized, and comfortable for everyday life
