Enjoy Luxury Living Inside and Out With the Isabella Two-Story

Written by Arelys Alexander | January 9, 2020

The Isabella Two-Story by London Bay Homes displays the elegance and quality you seek in a luxury custom home in Naples, FL with an expanded floor plan and an expansive outdoor living space.

Nestled in Mediterra’s Serata neighborhood, the Isabella Two-Story is the result of listening to the luxury real estate market and answering to its requests for additional square footage in an already impressive floor plan.  London Bay Homes’ single-family estate model in Mediterra is a two-story version of one of their most popular floor plans: the Isabella II.  Aptly named the Isabella Two-Story, this luxury custom home gets the comfortable design and expansive outdoor living space that made the Isabella II popular in the first place, but with an expansion to 4,283 square feet under air and a total of 6,225 square feet.  With the new dimensions, the Isabella Two Story features a fourth bedroom, a fifth bathroom, a serene sitting area with a wet bar and refrigerator, and a covered balcony on the second floor, as well as more square footage on the first floor.

The resulting floor plan was then treated to a transitional interior home design by Jennifer Stevens of Romanza Interior Design.  Stevens created a stunning design utilizing mixed antique and polished metals, black and teal accents against white and neutral gray backdrops, and a mix of distressed and amarone-hued wood tones.  Entering the home provides an instant feeling of  luxury living with metallic finishes in many of the home’s accent pieces, a three-tiered chandelier in the formal dining room, and satin brass and aged gold finishes in various furniture pieces.  

The transitional design flows through to the kitchen, where white Caesarstone countertops and winter white finished cabinetry complement a stainless steel Wolf cooktop and oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Asko dishwasher.  A maple slate freestanding island offers a trio of stools with diamond motif upholstery and amarone finished legs, while the café’s walnut table has an antique distressed finish giving it a rustic look that matches the armless side chairs featuring pale aqua upholstered seats and woven rattan backs.

Luxury living isn’t complete without the signature touches found in the master bedroom.  Stevens created the striking, yet peaceful look of the master bedroom with dark wood finish furniture and gold and cream accents found in the upholstered armchair, throw pillow embellishments, and the chandelier frame with crystal dove-shaped lights.  The master bathroom offers a shower and a free-standing tub to soak away your troubles, along with his-and-her sinks, a quartzite countertop, and cashmere painted cabinetry with a distressed finish.  The master suite also features a private patio where you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee on a cool day or just lounge about in the sun.

Head upstairs and you will see the brand new living space created by London Bay Homes’ in-house architectural team.  In the new loft opposite the fourth bedroom on the second floor, you can relax on the custom sectional sofa with cream-and-ocean-hued accent pillows, make yourself a drink at the wet bar, and put your feet up on the maple and matte-platinum cocktail table. The back of the loft features sliding glass doors that lead out to a second-floor balcony overlooking the expansive outdoor living space, as well as the peaceful backyard view.

Getting to the coveted, wraparound outdoor living space of the Isabella Two-Story can be achieved through sliding glass doors in the kitchen’s café area, the study, and the great room.  Theses doors will give you access to the large outdoor living area with a full summer kitchen featuring a Wolf grill and SubZero refrigerator and the home’s custom pool and spa. A columned pool cage will serve as protection from any of nature’s guests while you unwind after a long day of invigorating activities at Mediterra Naples.  Grab a sneak peek by watching our virtual tour below.

 

Schedule your tour to see the Isabella Two-Story and you can also see the gorgeous Mediterranean design of the Serata neighborhood where it is located.  This design is mirrored in the luxury estate home’s corbels, 12-inch projecting friezes, columns, decorative rosette medallions, copper bronze coach lighting, and other architectural details created to blend the home with its beautiful surroundings. This exquisite home is one you don’t want to miss, in a luxury home community that has received the honor of being named CBIA’s Community of the Year multiple times.
