NAPLES, Fla. (April 30, 2013) – The Eloro, a new fully furnished luxury villa model built by London Bay Homes, is not only open for viewing, it’s also available for immediate occupancy – an option that has become increasingly appealing to buyers in Mediterra, Naples’ seven-time community of the year.
During the past two years, nine model homes in Mediterra have sold either prior to completion or immediately upon opening.
The Eloro is located in Lucarno, an intimate lakefront neighborhood of maintenance-free villas with pool service, lawn care and landscape maintenance provided by the homeowners association. The three-bedroom home features clean-lined furnishings, graphic prints and a palette of bright tangerine, vibrant aqua and kiwi green throughout its 3,380 square feet of air-conditioned living space. Designer Melissa Allen of Romanza Interior Design also punctuated the décor with yellow and oriental accents.
The model offers a study, great room, wine pantry and full outdoor kitchen with grill and under-cabinet refrigerator. It has three full baths, a powder room and an enlarged laundry area.
The Eloro also features a free-form pool and spa accented with glass tile and the convenience of remote-controlled roll-down lanai screens around its outdoor living room. The model offers upgraded interior details and finishes, including a floor-to-ceiling racking system in the wine pantry and a wood floor and aqua-painted beadboard ceiling in the kitchen.
The open floor plan is emphasized by volume ceilings in the great room, an oversized space offering dining and gathering areas that flow into the adjoining kitchen and outside through pocketing sliding glass doors to the covered living area.
The kitchen also offers a free-standing island/breakfast bar with dishwasher and double sinks, white cabinetry, granite countertops and multiple pantries.
The master suite has a dual-entry walk-in closet, a secluded bedroom overlooking the pool, and a black and white bathroom accented with tangerine accessories, a pinwheel-patterned floor and beadboard surrounding a free-standing tub. The bath also features his and her vanities, a shower and private water closet.
The model has 4,031 total square feet, including a two-car garage, outdoor living area and an entry portico. It is priced at $1,693,460, fully furnished.
London Bay Homes is the exclusive builder in Lucarno, a European-inspired village with cobblestone streets and 71 luxury maintenance-free villa homes. Seven two- to five-bedroom floor plans offer 2,500 to more than 4,000 square feet of interior living space. Each plan is designed with numerous options that allow buyers the opportunity to customize their home by extending lanais and garages, adding bedrooms, dens or studies, and selecting indoor and outdoor fireplaces, summer kitchens, loggias, porticos and wine cabinets.
Home and homesite packages in Lucarno are priced from the $600,000s.
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.
