Solivita introduces 13 lifestyles in new model home park

March 28, 2006

The award-winning, active-adult community of Solivita in Poinciana has introduced 13 brand new model homes that already are drawing rave reviews from homebuyers.

“The response to our new showcase of homes has been absolutely fantastic,” said Helen McEnerney, president of the master-planned community of approximately 4,000 acres which posted 711 new home sales for nearly $210 million in 2005.

“We’ve introduced an outstanding selection of plans at sizes and price points designed to suit a wide variety of active adult lifestyles,” said McEnerney, noting Solivita earned nine marketing and design awards last year, highlighted by the Grand MAME Award (Major Achievements in Marketing Excellence) for Best Design.

Solivita’s model home park includes homes from each of its four collections, a neighborhood recreation center, and a refreshment area for home shoppers.

“It’s just another way of welcoming prospective residents and making them feel right at home,” said McEnerney.

Boasting Tuscan-style exterior elevations, models include two plans from the Keys Collection which are priced from the high $100s, three plans from the Gulfshore Collection which are priced from the low $200s, four plans from the Gold Coast Collection which are priced from the high $200s, and four plans from the upscale Coral Gables Collection at prices from the high $300s.

Plans presently range from the more affordable 2-bedroom homes in the Keys Collection which have been popular with singles, to larger 3- and 4-bedroom residences with oversized informal spaces in the Coral Gables Collection which have been appealing primarily to multi-generational families and homebuyers that like to entertain family and overnight guests.

“What buyers especially like is the fact that they can personalize each of the plans in every collection by making optional modifications that include everything from bay windows and additional bedrooms to guest casitas and 3-car garages,” McEnerney explained.

Among Solivita’s more popular plans is the 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath Venetian, one of three Parade of Homes award winners, which offers 2,548 sq. ft. of living area that features a “triple-split” design with three full bedroom suites, 12-foot ceilings in all living areas, a den, and formal dining room with coffered ceiling.

Another popular plan is the award-winning 2-bedroom, 2-bath, den Hemingway which offers 1,505 sq. ft. of air-conditioned living area including a great room, dining room, covered lanai, attractive side entry, and an oversized 1-car garage.

The award-winning 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath Coconut Grove also is attracting a great deal of attention. It offers 2,342 sq. ft. of living area including a spacious family room and comfortable den that can be converted to a home office, exercise room or hobby center.

Also popular with buyers is the 3-bedroom, 2-bath Sarasota which offers 1,796 sq. ft. of living area including a great room, gourmet kitchen with walk-in pantry, breakfast room with bay window, and a covered lanai.

Finishing touches include solid surface window sills, Kohler sinks, Moen faucets and Whirlpool appliances.

Neighborhoods in Solivita are being developed around a Mediterranean-style Village Center which includes the award-winning, 32,000 sq. ft. Riviera Spa & Fitness Center, Mosaics restaurant, the Starlight Ballroom, Gateway Café, and the Grille at Stonegate.

Solivita also features two 18-hole championship golf courses at the Stonegate Golf Club, tennis courts, softball diamond, and a host of other social and recreational amenities designed for individual and group activities.
