Villini Models Solid Gold For Pineapple
Jacksonville, FL (June 28, 2005)
The Pineapple Corporation struck gold recently with their first entries at the Northeast Florida Builders Association (NEFBA) 2005 Parade of Homes Ceremony. Both entries for Pineapple’s first semi-custom development, Villini at Glen Kernan, were first-place Gold Winners in two categories: $825,000 - $895,750 and $945,000 - $1,000,000.
Residence Three - Tuscan
Architectural Theme
The Tuscan model of Residence Three with color scheme 3 is chock full of upgrades and is valued at $895,750. The home’s rich exterior – tile roof, stone accents and European architectural theme – is just a glimpse of what’s inside. Custom interior wrought iron railing and upgraded ceiling and trim details - including “pecky”cypress wood beams and extensive crown molding - add to the Old World charm of this magnificent home.
Two stories, a great room plan, four bedrooms (one of which is a private guest casita) and 4.5 baths provide lavish accommodations for residents and guests among its 3,874
sq. ft. Upgraded stone and wood flooring is found throughout the home, as is The Bold Look Of Kohler.
The gourmet kitchen has GE stainless steel appliances, designer cabinets with an island
and built-in granite eating area, as well as built-in pantries. Other exceptional features include the entry portal, side courtyard with brick pavers,
privacy wall and outdoor fireplace, entertainment/great
room, formal dining room and two-story library with
built-in bookshelves.
The plush, first floor, master bedroom and bath suite features his and her vanities –
including art quality mirrors- its own fireplace and
oversized spa and shower areas. A loft on the second
floor is icing on the cake.
The house also contains an under counter washer and dryer and upper cabinetry
with a laundry sink. For parking and extra storage, there’s a three-car garage. The base price for Residence Three with a Tuscan elevation in Villini is currently $752,900.
The Country French model of Residence Four with color scheme 5 is more of a showcase of the distinctive design features available at Villini and is valued at $945,750. This home’s rich tile roof and exterior color scheme hints at the beauty inside. Two stories, four bedrooms and 4.5 baths are eloquently expressed in the 4,104 sq. ft. home.
Luxurious first floor master bedroom and bath suite, designer master bath with his and her vanities – including art quality mirrors & oversized shower, and bead board wainscot in the bedrooms are just a few of the bedroom features worth noting. Inside the home are upgraded ceiling and trim details - including “pecky” cypress wood beams and extensive crown molding, as well as wrought iron interior (and exterior) railings and The Bold Look Of Kohler throughout.
An expansive central courtyard with “wall of water” fountain, spacious formal living and dining rooms, family entertainment center, gourmet kitchen with island, built-in pantries, butler’s pantry, wine storage and morning room reflect Pineapple’s exquisite style philosophy.
The kitchen will delight the gourmet chef in the family with GE stainless steel appliances, designer kitchen cabinets with island and an Old World stone range hood and mantle. Of course, upgraded tile and stone floors and pre-finished distressed wood floors by
Harris Tarkett compliment the décor inside.
Outside, the summer kitchen with a GE barbecue makes outdoor entertaining effortless. The house also contains an under counter washer and dryer in oversized laundry with upper cabinetry and laundry sink, a three-car garage and a covered lanai and balcony. The base price for Residence Four with a Country French elevation in Villini is currently $799,900.
