NAPLES, Fla. (Feb. 26, 2016) – The newest model home in London Bay Homes’ Old Naples Collection is now open for viewing. The general public is invited to tour the two-story Chelston at 631 Broad Court during four open house weekends throughout the month of March.
The exclusive walk-through experience includes complimentary wine and small bites. Guests can tour the model on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The fully furnished designer home is located just blocks from the city’s famed Gulf of Mexico beaches and one of several luxury models the builder is constructing from Park Shore to Port Royal.
“We’re seeing a return to Naples and the neighborhoods a previous generation of homebuyers were attracted to 20 years ago,” said Mark Wilson, president and CEO of London Bay Homes. “People feel a connection to these residential areas because they are authentic and genuine and represent the original Naples lifestyle. There’s a great architectural mix, beautiful mature landscaping and trees, and typically larger homesites. Our new-construction homes reflect the ambience of the neighborhoods with easy access to the downtown lifestyle.”
The three-bedroom, three and one-half bath Chelston spans 4,227 square feet under air and blends West Indies and Old Florida-inspired architecture and design inside and out. The home offers a study, formal dining room, great room, a first-floor master suite and a generously sized 1,284-square-foot second floor with a loft, wet bar and two guest rooms with walk-in closets and private bathrooms.
Memory points throughout the model include unique furniture pieces: the great room’s ceiling with beams and grass cloth inspired venetian plaster, the convenience of an office and pantry connecting kitchen and laundry room, and a private garden from sliding glass doors in the master bath’s shower.
The model’s architecture is accented by transom windows and a tin-type roof. The entry features a water fountain finished with Mexican beach pebble and sapphire blue granite.
An island-inspired interior design by Romanza Interior Design features natural walnut wood flooring in main gathering areas, clean-lined British Colonial and woven furniture and accessories, and a vibrant palette of rainforest citrus, teal, coral, butter and eggplant against off-white backgrounds.
The Chelston’s open floor plan and emphasis on indoor-outdoor living is enhanced by flowing space between great room, kitchen and breakfast café and multiple alfresco areas. Outdoor spaces include dining and seating areas and a summer kitchen with stainless steel grill, refrigerator, sink and granite countertops.
Trellises, a freestanding fountain and a secluded fire pit add to the outdoor living environment and complement the linear design of the custom pool, which is finished with moon-hued brick mosaic glass tile.
The Chelston offers more than 5,200 total square feet, including covered outdoor areas, entry and a two-car garage.
The model represents London Bay’s commitment to luxury on-your-lot custom homes near the downtown Naples area. The builder’s first model, the Southampton, sold shortly upon its completion. The award-winning company also is building the Claremont at 271 First Ave. N and the Anguilla at 541 Neapolitan Lane in Park Shore.
Several additional model homes by London Bay Homes in Park Shore, the Moorings and Port Royal are set to begin construction in the coming months.
A leader in the Southwest Florida home market for 25 years, London Bay is redefining luxury living in Old Naples. The company earned a 2013 Silver Award for Best Architectural Design of a One-of-a-Kind Home during The Nationals, sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders. Its affiliate, Romanza Interior Design, earned a Gold Award for Best Interior Design of a Custom Home in the same competition.
All London Bay Homes are built using the latest information, products and technology available in building science, including the BEP Blue Barrier moisture barrier system that protects against mold issues and structural damage from moisture intrusion.
