NAPLES, Fla. (March 11, 2014) – London Bay Homes has completed construction on the new Bettina model home in Mediterra, winner of the 2013 Aurora Award for Best Residential Development in the Southeastern U.S.

The home will be open for viewing during Collier Building Industry Association’s Parade of Homes taking place March 15-16 and Mediterra’s Model Homes Showcase on March 22-23 and 30-31. Guests can tour the home on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.

The Bettina, featuring three bedrooms and three- and one-half baths, is located in Cabreo, an intimate neighborhood of 39 maintenance-free luxury villa homes priced from the $800,000s. London Bay Homes recently introduced three new floor plans for the neighborhood, where lawn and landscape maintenance are provided by the homeowners association.

Situated within 3,109 square feet of living space, the villa offers an open floor plan with a great room, dining room, and kitchen with an island, pantry and café area. Just off the foyer, a den provides additional space for an office or library.

The Bettina’s master suite has a spacious walk-in closet, and a bathroom with dual vanities, separate bathtub and shower.

Elegant architectural interior details include crown molding and columns. The great room, master suite, kitchen and outdoor living space offers relaxing views of Mediterra’s lakes and nature preserve.

An outdoor living space, with an optional summer kitchen equipped with a sink and a grill, and a covered entry and two-car garage bring the Bettina model to 4,345 total square feet.

Alternative elevations are available for the Bettina, providing classic Mediterranean-inspired architecture with arched windows and entries, decorative medallions and cast stone detailing, or a more clean-lined facade with rectangular windows with shutters. Stone is also an exterior option for the villas in Cabreo, which offer paver driveways, tile roofs and impact-resistant glass.

The Bettina model features interiors by award-winning Romanza Interior Design.

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.

The 1,700-acre master-planned Mediterra community is the eight-time winner of the Collier Building Industry Association’s Sand Dollar Award for Community of the Year. Mediterra offers an array of lifestyle amenities, including the member-owned Club at Mediterra with two Tom Fazio-designed championship courses and the private 10,000-square-foot Beach Club on the Gulf of Mexico, featuring an elevated swimming pool, casual dining with a full bar, and valet service for beach chairs, umbrellas, and beverage and food menus.

Recent renovations expanded The Club at Mediterra’s terrace and added a fire pit to the popular Tavern lounge, which serves gourmet brick-oven pizzas, seasonal salads and open-air grilled entrées. 

Mediterra’s Golf Learning Center offers indoor and outdoor hitting stations, video equipment with launch monitor, a 2.5-acre short game practice complex with three greens, and a staff of certified PGA professionals.
