As is true in most places, Sarasota real estate trends have shifted in the past year or so with more clients opting to go big when it comes to their dream homes. More square footage, a second story, and in some cases, even more acreage have come back due to increasing homeowner confidence in this fickle economical state. The Founders Club’s preferred builder, London Bay Homes, has embraced this reemerging trend with a two-story version of one of their most popular floor plans: the Isabella II. Crowned the Isabella Two-Story, this luxury custom home will get the comfortable design and expansive outdoor living space that made the Isabella II popular in the first place, but will be expanded to 4,265 square feet under air and a total of 6,353 square feet. With the new dimensions, the Isabella Two Story will feature 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.
Aside from the new additions, the Isabella Two-Story will feature a formal dining room, study, café, summer kitchen, a large master suite with patio, and an open great room plan. The kitchen will have a pantry and a freestanding island breakfast bar with double sinks and a dishwasher, while the master bedroom will offer his-and-her walk-in closets, and its bathroom will feature a shower with built-in seat, a U-shaped vanity with two sinks, a private water closet, and a soaking tub positioned under a window.
The outdoor living space, an area that has always been a major highlight of the Isabella II, will still be one of The Founders Club home’s exquisite features with sliding glass doors from the kitchen’s café area leading homeowners to the large outdoor living area, pool, and spa. Access to the pool area can also be achieved through sliders in the study and great room. The emphasis on outdoor living will also shine through the cupola, louvers, decorative Bermuda-style shutters, and rafters found in the model’s West Indies-inspired architecture. The home will sit on one of The Founders Club’s over-sized Fairway home sites ranging from a half acre to one acre making for an expansive view of The Founders Club’s lakes, nature preserves, wetlands, or golf course.
The Isabella Two-Story is expected to be completed in August 2015, but you can schedule your private tour now to learn more about this new floor plan from one of our knowledgeable Sales Executives.
