SARASOTA, Fla. (Feb. 3, 2015) – London Bay Homes invites the public for a rare opportunity to explore four luxury model homes coupled with high-end cars in The Founders Club during the Grand Prix of Homes on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 7 and 8 and Feb. 14 and 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
London Bay has partnered with Suncoast Motorsports Porsche-Audi-Volkswagen to display luxury vehicles at each of the models, which feature professional interiors by the award-winning team at Romanza Interior Design.
Guests will receive a map indicating the four showcase homes, which are located within The Founders Club’s 700 acres.
The four model homes capture the friendly and intimate lifestyle of Sarasota’s premier golf and social community and represent only a few of the many design possibilities offered by London Bay on large homesites – two-thirds to more than one acre – woven into a tapestry of moss-draped live oaks, palms and pines, and expansive conservation areas.
London Bay’s models offer 3,000 to more than 4,300 square feet of living space and pricing from $1.1 million to $2.1 million.
The newly introduced Clara, a Reserve Collection home located along the fairways of The Founders Club’s Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed championship course, features three bedrooms, a living room, den, family room, three full baths and a powder room within 3,248 square feet. Priced at $1,384,900, the Clara also features an outdoor kitchen, pool, spa and one- and two-car garages.
The three-bedroom Girona, a fully furnished single-family Reserve Collection home, is one of London Bay’s most popular floor plans. The Girona’s open floor plan resonates with buyers who like the combined gathering and entertaining areas of great room, dining room, kitchen and breakfast nook. The Girona also has a study, kitchen, office area, three full baths and a powder room and is shown with a three-car garage, summer kitchen, swimming pool and spa. The 3,526-square-foot model is priced at $1,968,600.
London Bay’s four-bedroom, four- and one-half bath Delfina, also a Reserve Collection home, offers 4,329 square feet and is finished with tumbled travertine, marble and grayed wood flooring, painted beam ceilings, and crown molding in volume ceilings. Fully furnished, the model’s pop-up TV between billiard and family rooms is a visitor favorite. The model offers a study, formal dining and living rooms, and a cabana bedroom and is priced at $2,128,900.
Romanza selected the finishes for the three-bedroom, three-bath Belita golf cottage that’s shown unfurnished. The 3,091-square-foot model has a pool and spa and is located within walking distance to the golf and social club. The Belita is priced at $1,165,130.
Amenities at The Founders Club include the 24,000-square-foot Golf Hall, overlooking an oak hammock and the 18th hole, offers a main dining room, bar and grille, outdoor verandah, and private dining room for casual and fine dining. The facility also has a professionally staffed and fully stocked golf pro shop, state-of-the-art fitness center, and men’s and women’s locker rooms and lounges.
Training facilities include two putting greens, a short game area, and state-of-the-art TrackMan radar technology offered through Florida Golf Performance Center.
Recent renovations expanded the short-game area and doubled the size of the driving range, which now offers 32 stations. The club’s practice facilities were also re-sodded with Celebration grass.
The club offers a vibrant, active social calendar and an in-season reciprocal partnership with Sarasota Yacht Club.
Additional facilities at The Founders Club include two Har-Tru tennis courts, basketball and sand volleyball courts, and a picnic pavilion. Fitness and wellness classes, educational and instructional programs, and social gatherings are coordinated by a professional staff.
Only 262 homes are planned for the community, which is conveniently located within minutes of Florida’s cultural coast, including Sarasota’s world-famous Gulf of Mexico beaches, the new University Town Center mall, and the acclaimed local restaurants, boutiques and arts and cultural venues of downtown Sarasota.
The Founders Club Sales Center is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is located at 3001 Founders Club Drive, three miles east of I-75 on Fruitville Road, Exit 210.
