| Villa
Amalfi at Bonita Bay, Bonita Springs
The
original Villa Amalfi, this model was named for the
town in southern Italy on the Gulf of Salerno and draws
heavily from Mediterranean architectural design. The
exterior emphasizes symmetry, incorporating keystone
crown and frieze, arch portico, reflecting ponds, keystone
columns and arched windows. Opposing two-car and one-and-a-half-car
garages frame each side of the home.
Inside
Villa Amalfi are two octagonal rooms - a library and
formal dining room. The octagonal ceiling of the library,
or leisure room, incorporates decorative wood inlay.
A built-in television unit is positioned in front of
a fixed wall of glass. The attached lanai includes a
sun terrace and a full outdoor kitchen with refrigerator
and grille.
Across
the marble foyer is an elevated living room with a sloped
tray ceiling overlooking the raised lanai, pool and
fairway beyond. Beneath the living room's fixed glass
window, a bubbling fountain flows into the infinity-edge
pool, which is framed by keystone pavers and lush planters.
A pool-side cabana suite with full bath is positioned
to offer a sweeping view of the fairway.
A full butler's pantry, located between the kitchen
and dining room, includes granite counter tops, a sink
and a refrigerated wine cooler. The kitchen contains
a SubZero refrigerator, granite counter tops, an island
with vegetable sink and caramel-stained maple cabinets.
The master suite features a radial glass wall overlooking
the pool area, a separate retreat, a master lanai with
spa and trellis above, spacious his-and-her closets
and vanities, a sunken shower with multiple brass shower
heads, a Roman tub and private water closet. Each guest
bedroom has a private bath and walk-in closets.
The
four-bedroom, five-bath home contains 4,712 square feet
under air and a total of more than 8,224 square feet.
Other special features of the Villa Amalfi include a
dining room buffet, extensive crown molding, keystone
corbels, ten-foot keystone columns, a fireplace and
authentic Palladian windows. |
