Serenity Floor Plan – Desert Retreat (Indio, CA)

Approx. 2,316 Sq Ft | 2–3 Bedrooms | 2–2.5 Bathrooms | Den | 2.5-Car Garage | Covered Patio

The Serenity is where the Encore Series begins — and you can feel it immediately.

At over 2,300 square feet, this layout steps into a more expansive, more intentional design. It’s not just bigger. It’s more refined.

This plan is for buyers who want open volume, separation, and garage flexibility — without jumping to the largest homes in the community.

What Makes the Serenity Different

Expansive Central Living Core

The kitchen and living room combine into a wide, open gathering space that feels noticeably larger than the Retreat Series homes.

You get:

• A substantial kitchen footprint

• A clearly defined dining area

• A living room that comfortably fits full-scale furniture layouts

This is where entertaining becomes effortless.

The scale makes a difference.

2.5-Car Garage Configuration

Like Refuge, Serenity includes extended garage space — but here it pairs with a larger interior layout.

That extra garage bay works well for:

• Golf cart storage

• Gym equipment

• Workshop space

• Seasonal storage

For active residents, that flexibility matters.

Dedicated Den with Real Presence

The den in Serenity isn’t a small flex corner — it’s a defined room near the front of the home.

It works beautifully as:

• A private office

• A media room

• A hobby space

• Or a third bedroom conversion (depending on structural options)

This plan balances openness with intentional rooms.

Primary Suite Privacy

The primary suite is positioned away from guest bedrooms, creating a true owner’s wing.

Expect:

• A spacious sleeping area

• Walk-in closet

• A generous primary bath layout

The separation creates quiet and comfort — especially for full-time residents.

Smart Guest Bedroom Placement

The secondary bedroom (and optional third bedroom configuration) sits on the opposite side of the home.

That layout gives:

• Privacy for guests

• Flexibility for long-term stays

• Strong resale appeal

The home feels structured — not random.

Who the Serenity Is Perfect For

• Full-time residents wanting space without going to the largest Encore models

• Buyers prioritizing garage flexibility

• Couples who host often

• Buyers stepping up from Refuge or Preserve

If you toured Preserve and thought, “I want more openness,” Serenity is likely the next logical step.

Structural Options to Consider

Depending on phase and builder offerings, Serenity may include:

• Bedroom 3 conversion

• Den door style upgrades (French / double-door look)

• Interior fireplace option

• Upgraded sliding glass door systems (multi-panel configurations can dramatically change the patio experience)

• Kitchen configuration upgrades

• Owner’s bath layout variations, including accessibility-friendly shower options

On this plan, patio slider upgrades and kitchen island scale can completely change the feel of the home.
