TAMPA, Fla. - A technology marvel and a $70,000 grant from the Veterans Administration will help home buyer Joel Nelson stand tall in his new home at Stonebrier, located on Mapleridge Drive off Lutz Lake Fern Rd. in Lutz.
Sean Strickler, vice president of sales for Pulte’s North Florida division, said Nelson suffers from multiple sclerosis, a disease that robs him of his muscle function.
But, thanks to a new C500 VS Stander wheelchair built by Sweden’s Permobil, the world’s largest manufacturer of wheelchairs, and some major modifications to the home constructed by Pulte Homes Waterbridge, Nelson can stand tall in his new home when he moves in next month.
Nelson received a $70,000 grant from the Veterans Administration to help pay for his special requirements, which include minimum 36-inch doors, a five foot turnaround radius, an open floor plan and no door sills that are higher than one-half inch.
Pulte Homes green-lighted construction of the new home so it will be ready for the Nelsons in June.
“Joel Nelson and his wife are dynamic individuals and we were happy to accommodate their needs at Stonebrier,” Strickler said. “They will be a wonderful addition to our community.”
Stonebrier offers new single-family homes built by both Centex and Pulte Homes priced from the $140s, with 1,335 to 3,304 square feet of living space on a variety of conservation and lake front home sites.
Homeowners at Stonebrier have access to its 14-acre neighborhood amenity center with a community club house, a state-of-the-art fitness facility with weight training and cardio equipment, resort-style swimming pool with a jungle waterslide and children’s play area, a basketball court, a multi-use sports field, and a children’s playground complete with a rock climbing wall.
