Villa Medici Announces Model Home Grand Opening Prices and Incentives

July 29, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Grand opening pricing and incentives are now being offered at Villa Medici, a new condominium community located in the heart of the city’s Southside.
During the month long grand opening celebration, buyers can take advantage of special savings on select locations of up to $20,000 plus no closing costs and one year of paid homeowner
association fees.

As word spreads about these hard-to-pass-up incentives and country-club style living, pedestrian traffic continues to rise at the visually stunning community.

The Bologna, a three bedroom home, is very popular. It includes screened lanai, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and has a spectacular open concept for living
room/dining/kitchen, located adjacent to lakes and preserves and terrific pricing at just $199,900.

New homes sales consultant Peg Ganger said people are driving by and stopping to come in.

“The club building near the entry way has an amazing architectural appeal,” said Ganger. “People are doing u-turns just to come in and check it out because it looks different than anything
else they’ve seen.”

The Crosswinds-developed community, offers a diverse selection of one-, two- and threebedroom floor plans featuring nine-foot ceilings, crown molding, 18-inch ceramic tiled floors,
granite countertops, garden tubs, cultured marble vanities and Whirlpool appliances, to name a few interior accoutrements.

From the moment residents and guests approach the gated community, they will notice lush landscaping, a grand fountain, one of four lakes and the beautifully appointed clubhouse, which is home to Club Medici—a residents-only amenities area.

Ganger said the central gathering area significantly sets Villa Medici apart from others in

Jacksonville. “The beauty really takes people away,” she said. “They see it and say, ‘wow!’ It’s so different than anything we have seen in this area.”
Luxurious clubhouse offerings include a resort-style swimming pool and lounge area, extensive sun deck, outdoor grilling stations, billiards and game room, coffee bar/lounge, Pilate’s room,
state-of-the-art fitness center, entertaining kitchen and business center and conference room.

Rita Williams of Merchandising Plus designed the interior of the clubhouse, which she said is an extension of the homes at Villa Medici.

“All of the areas tie together to reflect an Italian-Florida feel, with touches of European architecture,” Williams said. “We really wanted to show the fabulous architecture at its best and we feel we were able to do that.”
Williams’ team of interior designers played off of the community’s Italian scenery and architecture. “We used Italy as the backdrop and then brought the Italian theme ashore to bring a
little bit of Florida into it, as well,” she said.

The beautiful, rich and warm colors of the sunset can be found in interior furnishings, artwork,
fabric and décor.

Neighborhood amenities include a pet activity area, children’s playground, and extensive walking trails with fitness stations, sand volleyball courts and a meditation garden. Nature
preserves surround the community and offer endless acres filled with trees and greenery, some centuries old.
Villa Medici condominiums are priced in the $100s.
