The McKee Group has opened a model of the Potomac, one of five single-level manufactured homes on display at Cecil Woods, "a resort-style community for active people age 55 and over" in Elkton.

Eighty percent of the buyers in the Cecil County community must have one household member 55 or older, and no one under 18 may be a permanent resident.

Manufactured by Ritz-Craft Homes, the Potomac starts at $62,900 for 1,400 square feet.

It has a small front porch, foyer with guest closet, 19-by-13-foot living room, 10-by-12-foot dining room, 13-by-13-foot kitchen with work island, utility room, full hall bath and linen closet, 12-by-10-foot guest bedroom and master suite with a 14-by-13-foot bedroom, walk-in closet and bath with soaking tub and separate shower.

The Sassafras, another Ritz-Craft home, costs $40,900 for 1,120 square feet.

At the center of the home are a 16-by-16-foot living room, 9-by-9-foot dining room and 11-by-10-foot kitchen. A utility room and owner's quarters with a 13-by-11-foot bedroom, walk-in closet and shower bath occupy the right side of the house. Two more bedrooms and a full hall bath are on the left.

The sales office is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Take Interstate 95 north to Route 272, go south to a left on U.S. 40 and north to Cecil Woods on the left.
