Villa Medici Introduces Condominium Customization, Unveils Upgrade Options to Eager Homebuyers

Villa Medici's one bedroom, two bedroom and two bedroom homes with den offer spectacular views of nature areas and are now being offered at pre-construction prices.

Jacksonville, Fla. (PRWEB) July 16, 2006 -- No longer are homebuyers given an extremely limited number of options when it comes to personalizing their new investment. Villa Medici broke that mold in a big and special way. Southside's latest luxury condominium community invited more than 100 future residents to select custom design accents and interior fixtures for their new homes at a unique cocktail party featuring hors d'oeuvres, wine and classical guitarist for entertainment.

The impressive array of upgradeable finishes and colors included gold-speckled Venetian granite countertops, carpeting by Shaw Home Foundations, Listello decorative ceramic tile accents, Whirlpool stainless steel appliance packages and even choices of paint color.

New home consultants were on hand to assist in the selections, making sure that every room from front foyer to owner's suite complimented the personal preferences and tastes of the homebuyer. In addition to paint chips, carpet squares and countertop samples, community renderings, site plans, and detailed floorplans were on display to give future residents a full picture of what the final finishes and interiors will look like.

And it's not too late to become a homeowner at Villa Medici, being developed by two award-winning developers, Crosswinds National and Contravest.

Flanked by lushly landscaped walking trails and meditation gardens, Villa Medici is planned as a recreation of the Italian countryside. The gated community will be constructed around a central four-story building containing 150 residences and elevators and a total of 379 luxurious residences. An Italian architectural theme will be explored through the ample use of stucco texture exteriors in shades of gold and green with rough-hewn stone accents, reminiscent of a Tuscan villa.

Villa Medici's one bedroom, two bedroom and two bedroom homes with den offer spectacular views of nature areas and are now being offered at pre-construction prices. Homes include granite countertops, ceramic tile foyer, kitchen and baths, and have garages either included or available to add. In addition to a diverse selection of unique multi-family floorplans, the community has a few carriage homes available.

Villa Medici's great location is supported by elegant architectural design, landscaped gated entry with spectacular evening lit fountain and upscale amenities. Amenities will include walking trails, lakes, fountains, meditation garden, pool, children's play area, sand volleyball court, and clubhouse complete fitness center and concierge service.

Villa Medici is situated one block north of J. Turner Butler Boulevard and straddling a portion of Gate Parkway West, between Belfort Road and Southside Boulevard. The secluded community offers easy access to the beach and downtown, with St. Johns Town Center, Tinsletown Theater and the employment centers of Southpoint and Deerwood just minutes away.
