NAPLES, Fla. (Aug. 13, 2013) – London Bay Homes’ newest single-family estate model home in Mediterra is now open for viewing. The Annalisa, a four-bedroom, 5,277-square-foot home, overlooks a golf fairway and nature preserve in the Cortile neighborhood.
The Annalisa is one of London Bay’s newest floor plans and offers a great room, family room, study, wine room, tech center/mud room and butler’s pantry. It has more than 7,800 total square feet, including al fresco areas and two separate two-car garages, one linked to the house by a trellised walkway.
Floor, ceiling and cabinetry selections by Romanza Interior Design’s Melissa Allen convey a clean-lined rustic coastal ambience with driftwood tones and neutral backdrops complemented by bright greens, purples and tangerines in fabrics, painted furniture, accessories and accent pieces, and soft lavender in the master suite. The model has stone floors in hallways and in the great room, which has a 15-foot-tall floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace.
Designed for ease in entertaining, the great room also offers an adjoining butler’s pantry equipped with a refrigerator and icemaker and a wine room embellished with a barrel ceiling and a specialty faux-finished wall treatment.
The floor plan and architecture of the Annalisa create gallery hallways accented with archways and intimate al fresco areas: a porch off the study, a loggia from the master bedroom and a great room lanai with arches framing layered views of the model’s custom pool and spa, the golf course and nature preserve. A large outdoor living room with a fully equipped summer kitchen is accessed from the family room, where zero-corner sliding glass doors blend indoor and outdoor spaces.
Wide-plank random-sized driftwood-finished floors emphasize the open floor plan between kitchen, family room and nook. Driftwood was also introduced in the great room’s ceiling beams, as a finish for its oversized island and in the bead board ceilings of al fresco areas.
The kitchen offers a 42-inch built-in refrigerator, 48-inch dual-fuel Wolf range, two dishwashers, a steam oven and warming drawer. It features winter-white perimeter cabinetry and an adjoining room with a large home office and pantry.
The master bedroom, with its soft romantic lavender hue, has a stepped ceiling enhanced with cove lighting and its bathroom offers his and her vanities, a tub and a separate shower that creates a home spa experience with regular and rain-head fixtures plus body jets – all digitally controlled. The suite also offers his and her walk-in closets. The floor plan also has a powder room, and its three guest suites have walk-in closets and private full baths.
The Annalisa model is priced at $3,725,000, fully furnished.
Cortile, a neighborhood of 46 homes, offers both maintenance-free luxury villas and single-family estate homes. Home and homesite packages in Cortile are priced from $1.3 million and include pool service, lawn care and landscape maintenance as part of the homeowners association.
London Bay Homes, a leader in the Naples luxury home market for more than two decades, was one of only two companies named America’s Best Builder by Builder Magazine in 2008.
Romanza Interior Design, the builder’s affiliate, earned a 2013 Gold Award for best interior design during The Nationals presented by the National Association of Home Builders National Sales & Marketing Council.
