The Cesena Model: Elevated Design and Privacy
The Cesena model, at 2,860 square feet, offers a slightly larger footprint with four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, presenting a different floor plan and design aesthetic. This home exudes a more "moody" and sophisticated vibe, with unique architectural elements like a circular foyer.
- Distinctive Entryway: The circular foyer adds a touch of luxury and architectural interest, a feature not commonly found in new construction homes.
- Great Room with Fireplace: The main living space, or great room, includes an electric fireplace and beautiful light fixtures, creating a cozy yet elegant atmosphere.
- Designer Kitchen: While featuring a slightly smaller island than the Catalina, the Cenna's kitchen still offers abundant designer finishes, excessive cabinets, and a long galley pantry, catering to culinary enthusiasts.
- Private Guest Suites: The guest bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged on one side of the house, with one designated as a larger guest suite featuring a full bath and walk-in closet, perfect for extended family or visitors.
- Luxurious Master Bathroom: The Cenna's master bath is particularly impressive, featuring a deep soaker tub, a beautifully tiled walk-in shower, and a truly massive walk-in closet, providing ample storage and a spa-like retreat.
