Model D: The seven floor plans of Palermo Palm Springs

Our review of the seven floor plans of Palermo Palm Springs continues with the D model. The D model's 1,286 square feet makes it the third largest of the plans, after the A and B models. Fifteen of Palermo's 117 units are D models. You can tell the D models from the street because they have small front-yard enclosed patio areas, a unique feature for the two-story townhomes at Palermo. The D unit is two stories, with two bedrooms upstairs, 2.5 baths, upstairs sundeck, one-car garage, and private yard. Please note that the layouts of the first floor of many D units differ from the plan shown here. The developer moved the powder room to elsewhere on the ground floor and replaced it with a closet. Also, some units have long kitchen counters, but others have a pantry that cuts down on the counter space. Another change involves the outside wall that shields the front patio from the street. The wall has one large square opening, rather than the four openings depicted in the artist's rendering. At least five D models have private backyard spas, about a fifth of all private pools/spas at Palermo. The D models are at: 3522 Melody Lane with spa, 3532 Melody Lane, 3541 Melody Lane with spa, 3592 Melody Lane, 3601 Melody Lane with spa, 3611 Melody Lane, 215 Sandy Point Trail, 275 Sandy Point Trail, 3525 Sunburst with spa, 210 Enterprise Way, 220 Enterprise Way, 3594 Penny Lane, 252 Breeze Loop, 301 Breeze Loop with spa and 311 Breeze Loop. Miss Penny Lane says: She wishes she had a D model with a private spa, so when her Romeo turns up she could splash around and have toasts and treats under the moonlight.
