If you’ve driven along State Road 200 in Ocala recently, you may have noticed a big change underway at our model home. What was once our long-standing Emerald model has officially been transformed into something brand new — meet The Olive, our newest model floorplan designed to reflect modern living, updated design trends, and the craftsmanship Triple Crown Homes is known for.
This wasn’t just a cosmetic update. The transformation from Emerald to Olive was a full reimagining of how the home flows, functions, and feels. Creating a space that today’s buyers can truly picture themselves living in.
Why We Updated the Emerald Model
Design trends evolve, and so do lifestyles. While The Emerald served our customers well for many years, some areas of the home began to feel closed in and dated once spaces were enclosed and finishes aged.
The goal of The Olive was simple:
- Create a more open, modern layout
- Improve natural light and flow
- Showcase current design preferences
- Highlight the quality and customization Triple Crown Homes offers
The result is a model home that feels fresh, welcoming, and intentionally designed for today’s families.
What Makes The Olive Different from The Emerald?
The most noticeable difference is the open flow of the home, especially in the main living areas.
Key updates include:
- A fully redesigned kitchen that anchors the home
- An expanded, open kitchen island ideal for gathering and entertaining
- A relocated kitchen sink, now centered beneath a large picture window
- A refreshed fireplace wall design with a clean, modern look
- A completely reimagined master bathroom, including a freestanding tub
These changes give The Olive a brighter, more contemporary feel while maintaining everyday functionality.
Layout, Ceiling & Natural Light Improvements
Several architectural changes helped elevate the space:
- The dining room ceiling was updated from vaulted to a flat pop-up ceiling for a more cohesive design
- Added pop-up ceiling details throughout the home
- The bay window was removed to streamline the layout
- Window placement was adjusted to bring in more natural light
Together, these updates create a smoother flow from room to room and enhance the overall openness of the home.
Favorite Features Inside The Olive
Some standout features our team loves include:
- The modern kitchen design with upgraded finishes
- A redesigned study with glass walls and trim detail
- Wood flooring throughout the home for warmth and continuity
- The freestanding tub in the master bathroom
- Elevated trim work and thoughtfully selected materials
Each element was chosen to inspire homeowners while showcasing the level of quality Triple Crown Homes delivers.
Are These Features Standard?
As with all of our model homes, The Olive includes a selection of upgraded features meant to demonstrate what’s possible. While not every finish is standard, everything you see is available and customizable when building your home with Triple Crown Homes.
