Mariana Makes Its Grand Debut In The Estuary At Grey Oaks

Posted by briank | Naples, Real Estate, Real Estate Market, SWFL News, The Estuary at Grey Oaks, The Lutgert Companies | Posted on January 21st, 2010

The “Mariana” model makes its grand debut in the exclusive enclave of Estuary at Grey Oaks. Located at 1280 Osprey Trail, the classically furnished model by Covelli Development Group enjoys spectacular panoramic lake, fairway and green views of the 5th hole of the Estuary Championship golf course.

Grand in scale, the “Mariana” has 6,910 square-feet of indoor living space, which includes six bedrooms; five full baths; a powder room and pool bath; a dedicated theatre room; cherry paneled library and an 1,100-bottle temperature-controlled Malaysian Mahogany wine room. Cutting-edge technologies throughout the home provide touch-of-a-button conveniences for the security system, the Crestron lighting system, controls for pool and spa, and a sound system with LCD keypads.

Upon entry, custom Mahogany double doors open to the foyer of crema marfil marble flooring with pattern inset, and an Alabaster circular pendant chandelier in the rotund ceiling.  Views of the grand swimming pool and golf course are seen through the three 13-foot arched windows of the formal living room.  A floor-to-ceiling fireplace, made of white marble imported from Syria, and double step crown moulding in the tray ceiling are highlights of the formal living room.

Spanning nearly the full width of the home, a corridor of archways with marble flooring serves as the main artery to access each wing and individual rooms. Each end of the corridor is anchored by a custom arched display niche with crown moulding and wainscoting.

To the left of entry, the formal dining room that comfortably seats ten, has a groin vault ceiling with metallic faux finish and custom chandelier  The temperature-controlled wine cellar, complete with corking station and natural rustic stone flooring, is across the hallway and adjacent to the kitchen.

Grandeur prevails in the open kitchen and family room arrangement, which is the heart of the home. The elegant, yet, relaxing environment provides a full view of the pool area and exceptional views of the lake and golf course.  The gourmet kitchen is equipped with two Sub-Zero refrigerators/freezer drawers, Wolf natural gas range, Miele Cappuccino maker, two Bosch dishwashers, and cabinetry hand-glazed onsite by local artisans. Beautiful granite trims the tops of counters, the island and separate breakfast bar complemented by a custom mosaic backsplash.

The family room opens to  the lanai under cover of a tongue-and-groove cypress ceiling. The 30’x 28’  lanai has remote controlled screens set in each of the eight perimeter arches, and fully equipped summer kitchen with Wolf grill fueled by natural gas. An environment friendly fuel source, natural gas releases heat quickly and easily and is sent directly to your home without requiring it to be generated.  Chiseled-edge travertine in a Versailles pattern covers the decking of the pool and spa, both of which are gas heated.

The 19’ x 20’ media room boasts a 122-inch screen with HD projection, floating coffer ceiling, remote-controlled reclining leather seating for eight, THX sound, and acoustical wall treatments. Enclosed in concrete, the room also doubles as a safe room.

A relaxed, appealing environment in the privacy of their own wing is afforded to owners in the master bedroom. The sitting area looks out to a scenic view of pool area, lake and golf course.  A double door entry leads to a beautiful marble appointed bathroom, that is truly made for two: his-and-her marble showers, his-and-her full-width mirrored custom vanities with marble counter tops, his-and-her walk-in closets with dressing areas, plus a separate makeup room, marble flooring, and a garden-style spa tub set in front of a window.

Certified by the Florida Green Building Coalition, the “Mariana” is the first “green” new model in Estuary. The certification acknowledges those homes that utilize green building methods and materials to lower operating costs, create a healthier interior environment, reduce water usage, and increase sustainability.

An arched mahogany entry door, fitted with oil-rubbed bronze hardware, opens to the finished foyer and transitions to the gallery, which leads to the formal dining area to the left; the master quarters to the right; and the great room ahead.

Square columns act as a gateway to the great room where step crown ceiling moulding, a large niche for the media center and 18- by 18-inch porcelain tile define the space. The double French doors open to the pool area and expand the periphery views to the inside.

The gourmet kitchen is custom designed with cabinet-front KitchenAid appliances including a 48-bottle wine cooler; a five-burner gas cook top; Cherry Bordeaux custom cabinets with full extension drawers; and Baltic brown granite countertops with bevel edge. The island has a stainless steel Franke vegetable prep sink with Grohe faucet. An Insta-hot water filtration system conserves the homeowner’s time and resources.

The formal dining room is accessed through the neighboring kitchen, and also the gallery, which features a groin vault ceiling. The walls of the dining room are finished in a gold tone and the ceiling vault faux paint is done in a complementary terra cotta hue. A three-panel window with transoms draws in natural light and dense landscaping provides privacy to the room.

On the opposite end of the gallery, a double door entry opens to the vestibule of the master quarters. The suite features his-and-her baths, a sitting area positioned in front of a bay window, and a morning bar located just inside the vestibule.

Her bath features Monticello cherry Bordeaux cabinets with marble countertops; a Riva six-foot soaker tub with porcelain tile deck and floor; separate shower; water closet with toilet and bidet, and an open archway to the closet.

The “Centurion”, a new model estate home being built by Borelli Construction of Naples is well underway with a completion dated slated for August 2009. The home is located at 1240 Gordon River Trail in the Estuary enclave at the Grey Oaks community. Construction began August 2008.

Stofft Cooney is the architectural firm on the project.

The Centurion model is positioned for a commanding view of the number-eight hole of the Bob Cupp designed championship Estuary golf course, and a shimmering lake beyond. 

The stately home will offer a substantial 7,418 square feet under air, and 10,165 total square feet;  and six bedrooms including a private apartment that is complete with living room, morning kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and utility room.

Supplied with all the luxuries, the home is solid and well-built with such features as masonry block construction, including the second floor; Monier premium cement roof tile; roof that is engineered with hurricane clips and wind protection tie downs (up to 140 mph); pre-cast moulding on all sides.

For today’s “build green” construction techniques, the home has insulated Low E Argon Gas impact glass windows and doors by Marvin; High R value foam thermal insulation used on exterior walls and roof decks to provide a superior thermal envelope; high efficiency lighting system that extends the life of the lights and to run with more efficiency; two “tankless” water heating systems; high efficiency HVAC; and insulated soundproof interior/exterior walls. This home is awarded the Florida, Power and Light (FPL) “Energy Gold Star”, the highest rating given for efficiency.
