Sorrento

Rarely will new homebuyers see a layout as graciously appealing and livable as the Sorrento. All the expected amenities are here. More, the Sorrento's rooms and features are so well placed in relation with one another that every aspect presents a delightful surprise.

Fired-clay pavers in the circular drive lead to a protected portico framed by arched windows and keystone cladding. Double ironwork and glass entry doors swing wide into the welcoming room-size foyer. From there, an octagon-shaped living room presents a triptych of outdoor views. A soaring 21' ceiling overhead combines detailed crown moldings and stepped tray ceilings which culminate in a center rotunda.

To the left, paired columns and flowing arched entryways highlight a formal room and three-sided wet bar with wine storage. A convenient powder room sits to one side. Beyond, an island kitchen with expanded counter space and walk-in Butler's pantry greets the morning with a circular breakfast cafe, sunlit through tall segmented glass. The adjacent spacious family room with its richly stained tongue and grove coffered ceiling provides the perfect setting for family interaction. Opening up the expansive 90 degree glass sliders combines the leisure room with the covered lanais and creates an abundant area perfect for the largest of social gatherings. Beyond the family room lies the technologically advanced Media room, with a dynamic sound system to complement the latest in viewing equipment.

Vestibules with floor inlays have replaced hallways in this inspired design. To the right of the foyer, owners enter the study and master suite through dual vestibules and a private cedar-accented veranda. Spectacular master suite appointments, including wood trimmed moldings, tray ceilings with indirect lighting, and sculptured carpeting, encompass his and her walk-in closets complete with ample built-in storage. An alcove retreat overlooks a nature preserve and lake, perfect for quiet reading, dreaming and reflection. The master bath with its luxurious marbled floors and glass shower displays individual granite-topped lavatories and a soaking tub overlooking a lush tropical garden.

Family and friends feel at home in the Sorrento. Downstairs, a guest bedroom opens onto its own garden. The secluded private guest cabana, tucked away at the rear of the home, opens onto the huge outdoor living area with a screened colonnade that comes complete with a full summer kitchen and beach-entry pool situated within chiseled stone decking. The oversized pool with in-pool seating, fountains and waterfall spa add spice and fun to the adventure. Included as a backdrop to the spa is a see-thru masonry fireplace.

Upstairs, the fourth bedroom provides quarters for visiting family members or guests. This exceptional suite comprises a bedroom, second family room, private bath, covered balcony and open sundeck.
