Sunstone is a lively, centrally located neighborhood in Wellen Park known for its family-friendly amenities and great value. Developed by Mattamy Homes, Sunstone will include roughly 400 residences upon completion, offering a medium-sized community vibe where neighbors actually know each other. What makes Sunstone shine is its impressive amenity campus – from a beach-entry pool to sports courts – all created to deliver a full “resort at home” experience for an attainable price. Located in Wellen Park’s Playmore District, Sunstone enjoys a central location near the new downtown and within easy reach of all daily conveniences. The homes at Sunstone feature Mattamy’s signature open-concept layouts and quality construction, with a range of sizes to suit young professionals, families, and active adults alike. In Sunstone, you’ll find “thoughtfully designed, open floor plans and family-friendly amenities in a lively community” – exactly as the community’s slogan promises. It’s an ideal choice for buyers seeking the Wellen Park lifestyle without the high price tag of some neighboring upscale communities (yet still loaded with fun and comfort).

Sunstone offers both single-family homes and attached villas, giving buyers flexibility in size and maintenance level:

• Single-Family Homes: One-story and two-story designs with 3 to 5 bedrooms, ranging from approximately 1,500 up to 3,000 sq. ft. These homes often include flex rooms (for a home office or playroom) and 2- or 3-car garages. Open layouts connect kitchen, dining, and living areas, and covered lanais extend living space outdoors. Notable options include first-floor owner’s suites (in two-story plans), loft bonus areas, and tasteful upgrades like tray ceilings and 8-foot interior doors.
• Paired Villas: Single-story paired villas (duplexes) with 2 bedrooms + den (or small 3rd bedroom) around 1,500–1,800 sq. ft. Villas feature maintenance-free exteriors (the HOA covers roof and yard care) – perfect for snowbirds or those who prefer a condo alternative. Each villa has an attached 2-car garage, an open great room, and a private lanai. Mattamy’s villa designs emphasize easy living: large master suites, ample storage, and high ceilings make these feel spacious and bright.

Regardless of type, all Sunstone homes come with energy-efficient construction and stylish included finishes, with options to personalize colors and materials at Mattamy’s design center.

Amenities:

• Beach-Entry Pool & Spa: Sunstone’s resort-style swimming pool features a gradual beach entry, making it easy for all ages to enjoy. The pool includes dedicated lap lanes for exercise swimmers and a relaxing spa/hot tub area. Surrounded by palm trees and comfortable lounges, the pool deck invites you to unwind or play in equal measure.
• Clubhouse & Fitness Center: A beautifully designed clubhouse anchors the amenity campus, housing indoor gathering rooms (for parties, HOA meetings, card games) and a comprehensive fitness center. The fitness area offers cardio machines, weights, and a yoga/stretching studio. Residents can stay healthy without leaving the neighborhood.
• Pickleball Courts: For active fun, Sunstone includes pickleball courts where neighbors can engage in friendly competition or join leagues to sharpen their skills. Pickleball has swept Florida in popularity, and Sunstone’s courts ensure residents can be part of the action.
• Dog Park: Four-legged family members are welcome – Sunstone’s dog park gives pets a safe space to run and socialize off-leash. Equipped with agility obstacles and seating for owners, it’s a great spot for daily dog exercise and neighborly chit-chat.
• Playground: Families with kids will appreciate the community playground, which features modern play equipment on a safe, soft surface. With slides, climbers, and imaginative play stations, children can burn off energy close to home. (The playground is situated so parents can watch while relaxing by the pool or clubhouse.)
• Community Lawn & Trails: Expansive green lawns and pocket parks are scattered through Sunstone, including an event lawn for outdoor gatherings. The community is also laced with walking paths that connect to Wellen Park’s broader trail system, so residents can bike or jog around the area and even reach Downtown Wellen without setting foot on a major road.
