Is this where Michelangelo carved David? No, this FLORENCE model is far too contemporary for that, but it would have provided the necessary inspiration. FLORENCE, birthplace of Da Vinci and where Michelangelo was inspired to create David, and it’s no wonder. Enter into this FLORENCE model and you will be inspired to create and live a wonderful lifestyle that you have been dreaming about. With 1,880 sf inside and 330 sf of Lanai/Screen Room with an amazing water view, you will have an abundance of space to enjoy the refinements within or to share it all with friends and family. A screened-in 18’ portico leads into a sublime and elegant Foyer, capped with a 13’ ceiling, adorned by an ultra-chic chandelier that illuminates the alcove and alerts you to something distinctive ahead. Beyond the Foyer lies a wide-open floorplan that provides a discreetly graceful Dining Room with a contemporary chandelier, a spacious Great Room measuring 15’10”x17’6” also featuring an Emerson ceiling light-fan, that overlooks the granite bar-height Kitchen counter with three ultra-chic pendant lights. Do you watch and admire the creative Chef or imbibe, feast, and mingle? The Chef’s domain features ample hardwood cabinets with a built-in pantry, pot-drawers, soft-close drawers and a granite counter with a gorgeous glass-tile backsplash which has all been extended to impeccably enclose that essential wine fridge. Throw in the beautiful Samsung stainless-steel appliances, a Reverse-Osmosis Water Purification Unit that is fed by a Culligan Whole-House Water Softener System, a showcase glass-front upper cabinet, pot-lights and under-cabinet and over-cabinet lights and really “Who could ask for anything more”? Ok, we will also throw in a 12’x12’ Dinette featuring another contemporary light fixture and has a water-view that is comforting. When privacy is essential, take your retreat in the Office/ Den that features Double French Doors, hardwood floors and crown moulding. The open floorplan spaces feature 17”x17” porcelain tile on the diagonal, 5” baseboards, and 7” crown moulding throughout. The Great Room also features a 12’ sliding glass door that leads to a colossal Lanai/Screen Room that overlooks the water. The Guest Bedroom is at the front of the house and features a 3-panel Bay window and a full second bathroom. The second bathroom is replete with a granite Banjo-counter, tony lighting, a full-length mirror and tub-to-ceiling wall tile. The Master Bedroom retreat is nothing short of exemplary. A 10’-11’ coffered ceiling with crown moulding at both levels, 10’ glass sliders that lead to the Lanai/Screen Room and overlooks the water, two Walk-In closets and an Ensuite Bathroom. The Ensuite Bathroom features a Garden tub, a Walk-In Shower, two separated vanities with granite counters, full-length mirrors with tony lights above, and a private room for the commode with a space-saving pocket-door. Cap this all off with a two-car garage, Eaton Whole House Surge Protection, and whole house gutters and this is just the house.
