Kitchen Remodeling in Timacuan: Bringing Lake Mary Golf Homes Up to Date
Timacuan is one of Lake Mary's most distinctive neighborhoods. Set on roughly 400 acres of rolling terrain off Rinehart Road, it includes more than 550 single-family homes in nine neighborhoods: Fairway Hills (the largest, with about 219 homes), Clubhouse Cove, Eagle Run, Hopewell Creek, Hunters Ridge, Lake Dawson, Signature Cove, Stratton Hill, and Summerlin. The semi-private Timacuan Golf Club runs through the community.
Stratton Hill was the first section built, in the mid-1980s, and most of the rest of Timacuan was built during the 1990s. Some homes were custom built, while builders such as Ryland Homes, David Weekley Homes, and M/I Homes built other phases. That mix means Timacuan kitchens vary, but many are ready for a kitchen remodel that suits the community's golf-course and lake setting.
Common features of kitchens from this era
Kitchens in homes built in the late '80s and '90s often include:
A kitchen separated from the family room by a half-wall or partial wall
Soffits above the upper cabinets
Oak or whitewashed cabinetry
Tile countertops or early granite
A small pantry closet
A breakfast nook overlooking the lanai
Design ideas for Timacuan homes
Connect the kitchen to the view. Many Timacuan homes look out on the golf course, a pond, or natural areas. Reworking the layout so the sink or island faces the lanai can change how the whole home feels.
Make the breakfast nook work harder. Consider built-in banquette seating with storage, or extend the cabinetry to create a coffee and beverage station.
Upgrade the pantry. Replacing a shallow closet pantry with pull-out pantry cabinetry can add usable storage. See our custom cabinetry ideas for Lake Mary homes.
Plan for entertaining. A large island with seating, a beverage fridge, and a wet bar area make hosting easier, especially when guests move between the kitchen and a pool lanai.
Choose materials for Florida living. Kitchens that open onto lanais see more humidity and foot traffic. Read our guide to materials that stand up to Central Florida humidity.
Homes from about 1,400 to over 4,000 square feet
Because Timacuan homes vary widely in size, there's no one-size-fits-all remodel. A smaller home might benefit most from a smarter layout and full-height cabinets, while a larger custom home might call for a full redesign with a butler's pantry. Our designers tailor every plan to your home.
HOA and permits
Timacuan has a mandatory homeowners association, so check with the association before any work that affects your home's exterior or requires a dumpster in the driveway. Stevens Kitchens handles building permits for every project. See our Lake Mary permit guide.
