SeaFlower Builders Offer ADU Options

SeaFlower in Bradenton Offers Exclusive Options for Every Home, Meeting Growing Demand for Multigenerational Living and Flexible Spaces

Bradenton, FL — (December 15, 2025) —SeaFlower homebuilders have unveiled floor plans featuring an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) designed exclusively for the new West Bradenton community. The introduction of ADUs highlights SeaFlower homebuilders’ commitment to providing innovative and versatile housing solutions in a traditionally inspired master-planned community.

“Recognizing the growing demand for flexible living spaces and multigenerational home options, homebuyers have the option to seamlessly incorporate ADUs into their home designs,” said Edward Hill of Lake Flores Land Company. “Our homebuilders have purposefully designed plans that uniquely position SeaFlower to respond to the evolving needs of today’s buyers.”

While other communities may limit the number of ADUs to a certain percentage of homesites, SeaFlower single-family homebuyers have flexibility to take advantage of this option. An ADU provides the ideal solution for families who wish to live together but maintain privacy and independence.

SeaFlower homebuyers, Gerry and Dave Servary, recently purchased the Daybreak home plan with an ADU from Cardel Homes, and were impressed with how the space is a complete, private unit with full size “everything” from appliances, closets and a spacious, open living area.

“This was a very easy buying decision for us, and we see multiple benefits of living in a home with an ADU given its separate but connected feel and long-term flexibility of the space,” said Gerry. “We plan to enjoy having an ADU for hosting family from Maryland, maybe creating a separate area for a hobby and crafting space, a game room or social hangout space with friends.”

ADUs have become increasingly popular among single-family homebuyers, thanks to their versatile and practical nature whether for a home office, studio, or living space for aging parents or adult children. An ADU may include a kitchen, bath, living area and bedroom, and has a dedicated entrance.

“With multigenerational living becoming more common, buyers want an option for aging parents or adult children living at home,” said Hill, who added that there’s also a benefit to homeowners with the potential for income generation to offset a mortgage payment. “Homes with an ADU tend to have a higher resale value, too, given the added functionality of the design plan. They also provide an affordable housing option for young professionals who want to live close to where they work.”

All home designs in SeaFlower reflect a dignified, elegant stature inspired by the historic precedents of four architectural styles including Coastal, West Indies, Craftsman and Transitional Farmhouse. The community offers a diverse mix of home types and architecture catering to buyers at every stage of life from single-story bungalows to expansive multi-generational residences.

Built by Cardel Homes, David Weekley Homes, Issa Homes, and Pulte Homes, floor plans range from approximately 1,400 to more than 3,500 air-conditioned sq. ft.
