The San Vicente is one of the cleaner and easier-to-understand floor plans in Sun City Shadow Hills. It does not rely on extra complexity or oversized rooms to feel livable. It works because the layout is split into two clear halves. One half of the home is the private side, where the primary bedroom, guest bedroom, and den all sit together. The other half is the everyday living side, where the kitchen, dining area, and living room connect in a simple, open arrangement. That separation is what makes the plan feel calm, organized, and easy to live in.
Based on our uploaded measured plan, the San Vicente gives owners a large central living room, a dedicated dining area, a functional kitchen, a true den/flex room, and a bedroom wing that stays quieter and more protected from the activity of the main living area. Original model materials show the San Vicente at 1,574 square feet with 2 bedrooms + den, 2 baths, and a covered patio. Our measured plan comes in at approximately 1,571 square feet, so small differences from original builder sheets are normal.
Clear public/private separation: the living spaces stay on one side of the house, while the bedrooms and den stay grouped on the other.
A large living room for the size: the living room gives the home more breathing room than the square footage alone might suggest.
A real den with real flexibility: because the den sits with the private side of the home, it works well as an office, hobby room, reading room, media room, or overflow guest space.
Comfortable guest setup: the secondary bedroom and nearby bath make the plan easy for visiting family and friends.
Practical everyday use: indoor laundry and a full 2-car garage keep the layout efficient and easy to manage.
I based the room-size walkthrough below on our uploaded measured floor plan, so small differences from original model sheets are normal.
1) Entry + first impression
On our measured plan, the foyer comes in at about 14'4" x 5'0". It creates a clean transition into the home instead of dropping you abruptly into the living room or straight into bedroom doors. From there, the layout branches naturally toward the main living spaces on one side and the private rooms on the other.
Original model materials label the public side as the great room, nook, and kitchen, while our measured plan breaks that same area into living room, dining area, and kitchen. The point is the same either way: the San Vicente keeps the active, everyday part of the house together on one side.
Our measured plan shows:
Living Room: 20'8" x 19'8"
Dining Area: 11'6" x 8'0"
Kitchen: 13'0" x 8'4"
This plan does not win by offering a huge kitchen or extra transition space. It wins by giving the living room real breathing room and by keeping the kitchen and dining area connected to it. For many buyers, that makes the home feel larger and easier to use than the square footage alone would suggest.
The private half is what gives the San Vicente its clarity. On our measured plan, the den/flex space is labeled simply as “Room” and measures about 10'2" x 11'8". The secondary bedroom measures about 10'4" x 11'8", and the primary bedroom about 16'8" x 11'10".
Grouping these spaces together makes the home feel calmer. Someone can be cooking, entertaining, or watching TV in the living room while another person works in the den or rests in the bedroom side without feeling like everything is happening on top of each other. That is a major part of why this floor plan works.
The primary suite is one of the quieter strengths of the San Vicente. Our measured plan shows a comfortable bedroom footprint, along with a walk-in closet and full bath zone. Original model materials also show the primary with a bay window, which helps the room feel less boxy and a little more open. The result is a primary suite that feels practical, private, and appropriately scaled for a home in this size range.
The measured plan shows the laundry at about 6'2" x 8'1" and the garage at about 24'0" x 20'0". That utility side reinforces what the San Vicente does well: it keeps the home organized, practical, and easy to manage. Nothing feels overly spread out, but the support spaces are there where buyers actually need them.
The San Vicente usually fits buyers who want:
a home with a clear split between living space and private space
a den that can function as a real office or hobby room
a large living room without moving up to a much larger model
two bedrooms for guests, seasonal living, or everyday flexibility
a layout that is easy to understand, easy to furnish, and easy to live in
How big is the San Vicente?
Original model materials show the San Vicente at 1,574 square feet. Our uploaded measured plan comes in at approximately 1,571 square feet.
How many bedrooms and baths does it have?
Original model materials show 2 bedrooms + den and 2 baths.
What makes the San Vicente different from other similar plans?
Its strength is clarity. The home is divided into two simple halves: the public living side and the private bedroom/den side. That makes it feel more organized and more usable in day-to-day life.
Is the den a real flex room?
Yes. Because the den sits with the private side of the home instead of opening directly into the main living area, it behaves more like a true office, reading room, hobby room, or media room than many den spaces do.
