The Woodlands introduces the “Cottonwood” Model

The brochure reads:

A distinctive interpretation of the clean, graceful lines inherent in contemporary design, in a fascinating Three-Bedroom Idea Home.  Located in a fairway setting surrounded by magnificent wooded areas…the accent is on spacious living inside and out.  Even a brief study of the floor plan indicates that here truly is something most unusual.

This was a 3 Bedroom, 2 1/2 Bath home with a double garage for $39,100.   You could also get an optional screened patio with roof for $3,050 as well as central air conditioning and heating for and additional $2,420.

This home seems inexpensive,  however, this home was very expensive back in 1969.   As a private country club community, the Woodlands was much more expensive  than it’s neighbors in Tamarac.  Maintenance fees were only $48 a month and included all lawn care, plus use of the recreational facilities.

If you haven’t been to the Woodlands yet, take a drive by and check out these unbelievable mid-century modern homes.

Thank you to Edie Green with Coldwell Banker for sharing these with me and the rest of our community.
