NAPLES, Fla. (Feb. 23, 2016) – London Bay Homes’ newest luxury single-family villa model, the Belita, is now open in Lucarno at Mediterra.
The maintenance-free home offers three bedrooms, a study, formal dining room and a gourmet-inspired kitchen with a freestanding island breakfast bar and adjoining café, home office and walk-in pantry. The model also features three full baths, a powder bath and a second-floor loft and wet bar with an under-counter refrigerator within 3,738 square feet of interior living space.
Featuring interior design by award-winning Romanza Interior Design, the Belita has beamed ceilings in several rooms and overlooks Lucarno’s picturesque lakefront setting.
The model’s master suite features his-and-her walk-in closets and double French doors that open to a private patio off the pool deck. The suite’s bathroom offers a separate tub and shower, a vanity with double sinks, and a private water closet.
The model’s two guest suites are located on the second floor and offer walk-in closets and private full baths. Double doors from the loft lead to a Romeo and Juliet balcony.
The model features an open floor plan that flows into adjoining alfresco spaces from sliding glass doors in the café and large living room. The expansive covered outdoor living area features a fully equipped summer kitchen and custom pool and spa flanked by fire bowls anchoring each end.
A low entry wall defines the home’s motor court and echoes the neighborhood’s architecture and streetscape reminiscent of a European village within a lakefront and garden setting.
The Belita offers 5,308 total square feet, including covered living areas, entry porch, an attached two-car garage and an additional detached single-car garage. The popular model also recently sold prior to completion and is on leaseback through October.
