Tom Cruise Snoratorium Found at Lennar Homes in Mission Viejo, CA

LENNAR'S RIDGE IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA IS A HIP AND HAPPENING PLACE FOR MULTI-GENERATIONS.

It’s rumored that Tom Cruise has a snoratorium, a comfy self-contained room toBrian at Next Generation Lennar Homes, Mission Viejo, CA shield Katie from his insufferable snoring—as if some are more sufferable than others.  Or maybe a correlation exists between schnozzola and snoring.  Ouch!

But somehow, I doubt that premiere home builder Lennar had Cruise and Holmes in mind when they fashioned their Next Gen Homes in Mission Viejo.   

On a recent visit with a client, we exercised restraint and kept a lid on celebrity gossip. It wasn't difficult since the new floor plans are themselves conversation pieces. 

Lennar has two bold—very bold— floor plans. 

LENNAR'S HOME WITHIN A HOME--RENTAL INCOME 

This novel concept is every bit as interesting as it sounds.   Next Gen is sensitive to buyers who need to space for other family members:  Parent, adult child, extended family...or the resident snorer!   Or rent the "inside" home for income to offset your mortgage!

The snoratorium, um, living space is on the ground floor, has a separate entrance, and enjoys total privacy It boasts a bedroom sizeable enough for a double or queen bed, a kitchen with appliances to concoct a grand meal, and a full bath, complete with stacked washer/dryer.

The second floor is the main house.  It’s spacious and hip.  Take a peek!

TOUCH OF ELEVATOR LUXURY IN SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY HOMES. 

Next on the promethean builder’s agenda is the elevator plan. That’s right, an elevator.  They're calling it the Penthouse plan, despite it being only a second floor. With an elevator, you get to call it a penthouse.  It's the rule.

Hardly a snoratorium.   More suitable for the likes of Betty White, I’d say.

Sounds like something that should have been around sooner! Haha, but the plans seem very interesting and I bet they will be talked about for some time.

Brian, pretty entertaining, my husbands a builder perhaps he can build a room where I don't have to hear how LOUD he keeps the TV especially when he's watching Formula One!

I certainly appreciate the creative tie in to Tom Cruise and his snoring issues. ;) I shall check out the links as soon as I'm done commenting - and it's great to see you back in the Rain. See how much you're missed?

The three amiga's all appreciate you very much - your brains and creativity are admirable.

Brian,

I love the Tom Cruise story...very Hollywood of you..We have noticed many elevator plans.  One of our clients is selling a magnificent estate in Florida, and the house has an elevator that you can take, if you are just not "together" enough to sashay up the grand staircase...Good to see you in the rain again...A

Hi Anna, it's good to be seen.

Ellen, now there's an idea I hadn't thought of.....privacy for loud TV watchers. 

Debb, that's so sweet of you to say!  Muchas gracias three amigas!

Alexandra, of anyone in the rain, I expect home elevators would be standard fare for you and Ron.  What a luxury!

Brian - I've been MIA from the Rain the last few weeks and stopped by as soon as I saw you posted. You always give me a good laugh and I have to say you look pretty darn handsome! I love the idea of a home within a home - is there any parent with children over 16 who woudn't?! Don't even get me started on Mother-in-laws, lol! BTW - #2 is a hot dish - just sayin'!

Kristine, it's already great to see you!   You'd really dig the staging of the Lennar models. 

Gayle, funny how an out of focus camera can make one look ok.

Brian:  I am guessing that most buyers would "turn up their nose" at a home with a snoratorium... but for just the right buyer, this could seal the deal... so to speak.

I have sold many Lennar homes in the Fort Worth market... and have found them to be very "buyer friendly."  One additional thing about them is that when it is time to do the final walk-through... Lennar calls it the "introduction"... the homes are always totally finished.  Their construction managers have a great eye for detail.

I also think the two-story with the elevator is a great idea for folks who have an older parent living with them.

By the way... thank you for subscribing to my blog.  I have just subscribed to yours, as well.

Thank you for subscribing Karen Anne and for sharing your personal experience with Lennar.  So you know, it was a recent comment you made on Jason Sardi's blog that compelled me to subscribe.   Very articulate and level-headed.

Brian,

I heard someone talking about this on the radio a few days ago. All I could think of is I wonder how many men will fake snoring just to get out of their shared bed to sneak out at night without being caught.

Seriously, snoring is an age old problem. It's kind of nice to know they are finally doing research on snoring and recognizing that it is a problem for some. But if the snoring is cured, what's next?
