The Grandview, Kingon Homes’ first single-family model home in Grand Arbors at TwinEagles, combines a rustic Italian décor with Southwest Florida’s emphasis on water and outdoor living. Located in Grand Arbors’ Hedgestone neighborhood, the model overlooks a lake, the Gary Player-designed Aerie golf course, plus its custom-designed pool, raised spa and a three-urn water feature.
The Grandview has 3,036 square feet of air-conditioned living space, three bedrooms, three full baths, a pool bath, powder room, study and dining room and nearly 4,800 total square feet, including a covered entry, three-car garage and covered outdoor areas.
Designed by Southern Showcase, the model has wood and tiled floors, and decorative ceiling details and wall treatments, including walls partially tiled with brick-shaped tumbled stone in main rooms.
The architecture of the home is accented by multiple roof levels, arched windows, detailed banding and a paver driveway with a herringbone pattern. Mosaic tile details on the home’s façade — above the arched entry and on columns and a main wall — foreshadow glass tile detailing inside.
Two steps lead up to the entry, which has a tiled floor and double solid mahogany doors encircled by an arch of impact-glass sidelights and fanlights.
The foyer has a tile floor bordered in tumbled stone and looks ahead to the leisure room’s zero-corner sliding glass doors and to the kitchen and nook. An archway to the left opens into the dining room and a hallway leads to the wet bar and guest rooms. The foyer ceiling has multiple levels and is accented with crown molding and floating crown molding. Its walls are faux finished.
The leisure room has a decorative six-section beamed ceiling, a carved stone fireplace and zero-corner doors that open to the covered verandah and a tropically landscaped water feature. Water flows from the largest to the smallest of three Italian urns.
Designed to blend the home’s indoor and outdoor spaces, the covered verandah extends along much of the back of the home and has a gazebo area, where views in and out are framed by arched openings.
The verandah has a summer kitchen, equipped with a stainless steel gas grill, refrigerator and sink. Mosaic glass dots accent the backsplash wall, and the hood has a faux-finished surface with stone detailing. A round bar countertop cantilevers for ease in seating.
The outdoor area is screened and has a raised circular spa with a sheer descent waterfall and a free-form pool that favors curves and has a built-in bench. Built-in planters have tropical landscaping and are positioned between the pool and the screen. A freestanding fireplace is pushed to the edge of the outdoor area and is finished with stone, mosaic glass tile and stucco.
The pool bath has faux-finished walls with a raised leaf relief, a vanity with a granite countertop and tile floor.
The dining room has an octagonal tray ceiling with two levels of crown molding and faux-finished walls. An arched recess has a mirrored wall above a floating built-in buffet — a combination of wood-stained ledges and mosaic glass tile surfaces.
The wet bar is in the hallway to the left. The surface of the bar and a portion of the hallway wall are finished with 4-by-8-inch tumbled stone installed in a running bond pattern and positioned under a stone chair rail. The design is also repeated on the front of the kitchen’s breakfast bar adjacent to the leisure room and adds a touch of antiquity to the home’s overall casual Italian décor.
Two tulip pendant lights illuminate the wet bar’s black granite countertop. The bar also has wood cabinetry, a hammered copper sink, a mirrored backsplash and wine refrigerator with a glass door. Wine storage is also built into the cabinetry.
The running bond stonework is repeated on the front of the kitchen’s long rectangular center island, which offers in-room seating, a granite countertop, and a blocky stainless steel double sink.
Wood floors reappear in the kitchen and nook and continue into the walk-in pantry. Decorative mullion glass fronts accent some of the cabinetry and reveal interior glass shelves. The kitchen also has a paneled Thermador side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, a black microwave and side-by-side black Thermador ovens below a smooth-surface cooktop. The backsplash is stone with glass mosaic accent dots and the hood has a combination faux finish and stone and is flanked on each side by wall sconces reminiscent of coach lights. The finishes give the kitchen a hearth-room-like ambience.
The backsplash elsewhere in the kitchen repeats the 4-by-8-inch stone design of the walls. The ceiling’s four beams continue into the breakfast nook, where seven mitered windows overlook the golf course and water.
The master suite, powder room and study are to the right of the foyer, and have wood floors. The powder room has metallic faux-finished walls and a custom-designed vanity with a mosaic glass tile front, a stone backsplash and a fired-glass vessel sink perched atop an onyx countertop. The ceiling also has a faux finish, and baseboards are finished in wood tones.
Three arched windows in the study create a bay area overlooking the front gardens and motor court. The room’s tray ceiling has crown molding and a decorative beam design.
A single door opens into the master suite, where the wood floor passes an art alcove, the bathroom and his-and-her walk-in closets and continues into the bedroom. The room has a faux-finished tray ceiling with floating molding and a three-section mirrored bed wall. A trio of sliding glass doors opens onto the covered verandah. Windows also overlook the pool and spa.
An arched opening leads into the master bath. Below, an inlay of mosaic tumbled stone provides a transition between the wood of the hallway floor and the tile of the bathroom. A raised tub and a walk-in shower with a curving tiled wall are the bathroom’s focal points. The jetted tub’s marble surface cantilevers above a two-level side finished with mosaic glass. The stone-clad shower has a rainhead shower head, two body jets and a hand-held nozzle.
The ceiling has crown molding and a dark-wood vanity has granite countertops and offers his-and-her sinks and a wall-length ceiling-to-counter mirror with a beveled mirror frame.
The room’s walls are a combination of faux finish and stone with mosaic glass accents. Six square windows provide natural light, and there’s also a water closet.
Each of the Grandview’s guest suites has wood floors and private full bathrooms with granite-topped vanities. One has private access to the covered verandah; the other has a walk-in closet.
The laundry room has a stacked, front-loading washer and dryer, crown molding, wallpaper and cabinetry that incorporates a built-in desk and a utility sink.
The model is available for purchase priced at $1,995,000, furnished.
Grand Arbors is the newest phase of TwinEagles, the 1,115-acre master-planned community being developed in northeastern Collier County by Bonita Bay Group.
