Constructed of brick and situated on a tidy street in the popular Villages of Urbana neighborhood, the Matisse and Picasso model homes offer upscale living on two levels with virtually no maintenance.

Looking like condominiums, the Picasso model sits above the Matisse and offers 2,500 square feet with carpet lining the entire home.

Both homes are accessed through a small portico with the Picasso having four flights of steps up. Both offer one-car garages along the back of the home with private driveways.

Upstairs, the steps lead to an area with an open floor plan and extras such as a bay window, triple crown molding and white columns that lead into the dining room. A powder room is near here. The family room/gourmet kitchen sits at the back of the first level.

In here, upgraded ceramic tile lines the floor. Other upgrades include granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances including a double wall oven and a gas cooktop. Other features include 42-inch cherry cabinets, a large pantry and a decorative, tiled backsplash.

The cozy family room offers a corner gas fireplace. A balcony has a scenic view of the neighborhood.

Upstairs, the master suite is spacious with a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets and a luxurious bath that features tumbled tile, two separate cherry vanities and a dual shower with two heads. Along the hall, two additional bedrooms are both large, and the hall bath boasts ceramic tile.

On the lower-level model, this home showcases hardwood floors throughout the open living room/ kitchen.

The kitchen has a two-tiered island with granite countertops, 42-inch cabinets and sleek black appliances. Drop lights above the bar add a decorative touch. Recessed lights illuminate the entire level. This model also offers a bay window, thick trim and a powder room.

Upstairs, a large landing greets visitors and both homes boast a laundry room with either a stackable washer/ dryer or side-by-side models.

The master suite offers the same tray ceiling and two walk-in closets, but this bath comes with a corner Jacuzzi tub and a separate shower.

This model also has two bedrooms along the hall and a full bath.

Ryan Homes still are building, at the development, so there will be one of each model available in the spring.

This neighborhood has an elementary school, two pools and clubhouses and nearby shopping, as well as walking trails throughout.
