By the end of the first month, every two-bedroom home tells its own story. In one, the second bedroom has a desk, a good chair and a door that closes at 9 AM. In another, it is a guest room with fresh towels folded at the foot of the bed, waiting for the visitors who fly in every February. In a third, two friends split the rent and never wait on the shower. At The Central on Orange Lake, our two-bedroom floor plans are built to hold all of those stories, and a few more.<\/p>\n
This is the next stop in Step Inside The Central, where we open the doors to the homes and spaces that make up our corner of Downtown New Port Richey<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our floor plans carry citrus names, a nod to Orange Lake across the street. The Cara Cara takes its name from the pink-fleshed navel orange and is the more compact of the two, at 894 square feet. The Valencia is named for Florida’s classic juice orange and comes in several layouts from 989 to 1,215 square feet. Both have two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the same stone-and-wood kitchen and the same in-home washer and dryer, so the choice really comes down to how much room you want to spread out.<\/p>\n Two bedrooms and two bathrooms is the roommate math that works. Nobody waits on the shower, nobody negotiates shelf space at a shared sink, and large closets keep each person’s things on their own side of the hall. The washer and dryer in the home takes laundry off the list of things to coordinate, and the open living space gives you somewhere to share a pizza without anyone having to give up their room.<\/p>\n For anyone who works from home, the second bedroom changes the whole workday. A desk in the corner of the living room means the job never quite leaves. A desk behind a door means you can close it at 5 o’clock and be home. Our homes are designed to bring in natural light, which matters more when you spend eight hours in a room, and an electronic thermostat and ceiling fan keep the office comfortable through a Florida afternoon. When it is time for a break, Orange Lake and Sims Park are right across the street.<\/p>\n Live in Florida long enough and you learn that company is coming, especially once the weather up north turns. A second bedroom means the people who visit get a real bed and their own bathroom instead of the couch. Then you get to show off Downtown: coffee in the morning, an afternoon in Sims Park, dinner on Main Street and a show at Richey Suncoast Theatre<\/a>, all without moving the car.<\/p>\n When two people share a home, a second bedroom is breathing room. It can be a home gym, a craft studio, a reading room or simply the place where one person’s early alarm does not wake the other. A second bathroom ends the morning race to the mirror. The larger Valencia layouts, up to 1,215 square feet, give two schedules, two wardrobes and maybe a dog or two room to settle in.<\/p>\n Every two-bedroom shares the same backyard. Down by the water, the Lakeside Pavilion has a grill and a fire pit for evenings with neighbors. There is kayak storage for the river, bike racks for Downtown, on-site EV chargers, a dog washing area and pet waste stations. Controlled access, reserved resident parking, valet trash service and a secure package delivery area handle the everyday, and on-site management and maintenance teams are close by. Past the gate, the shops and restaurants of the Downtown District supported by New Port Richey Main Street<\/a> are a few blocks away.<\/p>\n The Cara Cara is 894 square feet, and the Valencia ranges from 989 to 1,215 square feet. Both have two bedrooms and two bathrooms.<\/p>\n Size. The Cara Cara is the more compact two-bedroom, and the Valencia offers several larger layouts.
