The Cottages at Last Plantation

The Cottages at Last Plantation is a pet-friendly, 55+ community with a quiet, neighborly feel, where the houses, condominiums, villas, and townhomes are all one level, so folks won't have to deal with steps, making it easier to get around, and most homes have about 1,700 square feet though some are much bigger or a bit smaller, with floor plans like the Canterbury that have two bedrooms, an office, a sunroom, two bathrooms, and wide, open living spaces under vaulted ceilings. You'll see gracious arched windows with plantation shutters, storm doors, hardwood and tile floors, new paint, and no carpet in sight, plus things like a fireplace in the great room, a gas log fireplace in the living areas, and a sunroom that's bright and cheerful due to all the natural light, and the kitchen comes with all appliances left in place including a dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, and a pantry alongside tile backsplash and sometimes new granite counters, and residents get a two-car garage with a huge storage closet, attic access, insulated doors, and even 3M tinted windows, with extra touches like shelves and a level yard, all set in a level community in the hills of Tennessee, near schools like Howard Elementary and Gallatin Senior High. The owner's bath tends to include a raised height vanity with two sinks, a new walk-in shower with a bench, and a large walk-in closet, and elsewhere in the home you'll find a separate office, formal dining room with glass French doors, Wi-Fi, cable, air conditioning, and options for private, furnished rooms, while the whole property is professionally painted and kept up well by staff services like housekeeping, laundry, and a concierge in the community, which also supplies dining with meal options for allergies and diabetes, made by a professional chef. There's a clubhouse you can rent, a pool for residents, a gazebo by Fountain Pond, a walking trail, a small exercise room, a library, and scheduled activities, with a real community-oriented feeling and friendly neighbors, plus the grounds are maintained so you don't have to worry about mowing or heavy work outside, and you'll find upgrades in some homes like a whole house surge protector and irrigation system. The Cottages at Last Plantation operates as a Continuing Care Retirement Community too, so as health needs change, you can get more support, including memory care and help with daily things like bathing, dressing, and medicine. The location is close to movies, shopping, and Volunteer State Community College, and the streets have names like Brown Lane and Cottage Grove Plantation Circle. There's a range of home types and sizes, with private patios and garages, and short-term rentals exist as well, with financing help through several loan options for those who need it.
