Romanza Interior Design Goes Contemporary with London Bay’s New Custom Home in Port Royal Naples

Written by Arelys Alexander | June 14, 2017

London Bay Homes is in the process of decorating exclusive neighborhoods from Park Shore Naples to Port Royal Naples with gorgeous luxury model homes, and they have chosen Romanza Interior Design to showcase a unique interior design for their custom home currently under construction on Gordon Drive in Port Royal.

Jennifer Stevens of Romanza Interior Design will be invigorating the artfully designed, West Indies-style custom home with exotic woods, streamlined furnishings, and sleek wall paneling for a contemporary design aesthetic.  The design begins in the home’s great room, where Stevens created two sitting areas for two unique purposes.  The first sitting area is designed for elegance and comfort, as well as joyful entertainment with a wide sectional sofa with a built-in chaise upholstered in white-light gray tweed and accented with striated-patterned lumbar pillows.   The second sitting area features four smaller scale lounge chairs for a more intimate gathering.  The great room also boasts dramatic artwork, wood and large-format honed stone flooring, and accent wood panels that can be found in other parts of the home as well.

“The contemporary style is recognizable in the clean-lined, large-scale upholstered furniture and in the sophisticated palette of finishes, including mixed metals, woods and leather,” Stevens said. “Backgrounds offer neutral tones in taupes and ivories, and accents span a range of nature-inspired tones of green and tans.”

The two-story, 4,648-square-foot custom home will also feature recessed baseboards, rolling barn-style doors – one with art glass – and sculpted ceilings with backlit cove lighting.  A wenge-stained pocket door from the great room opens into the study. The room, said Stevens, “features paneled custom cabinetry that combines anigre and wenge, a dramatic backlit floating ceiling detail and wide-plank walnut wood flooring.” 

The contemporary design will continue in the home’s luxury kitchen with a mix of white and high-gloss lacquer walnut cabinetry and a freestanding center island with a cooktop, gallery-style double sinks and a cantilevered countertop with four modern bar stools finished with toffee metal, java walnut, and charcoal-brown block-patterned upholstery.  You will be able to enjoy your take on the culinary arts with side-by-side microwave and steam ovens above built-in single ovens, double Sub-Zero refrigerators, and freezer drawers.  

A custom staircase and an elevator will provide instant access to the luxurious second floor of this beautiful home, where you will find that the master suite encompasses half of the space.  You can retreat to your haven at any moment and enjoy the peaceful contemporary design featuring a straw-colored upholstered chenille headboard framed in wood and a palette of soft blues, blue-grays, charcoal, and tan tones.  You can also enjoy the exquisite view from the second floor through a wall of sliding glass doors that open to a private terrace overlooking Cutlass Cove.  Enjoy peaceful nights sitting on a comfortable chaise by the fire from the linear fireplace and overlooking the shimmering waters.

The master bedroom suite will also feature a large double-entry oversized closet featuring Poliform custom cabinetry with built-in dressers and mirrors, and dual bathrooms.  One of the master bathrooms will feature rich granite countertops, floating wenge wood cabinetry, and a shower with rolling barn-style glass doors, body sprays, and wall- and ceiling-mounted showerheads, while the second bathroom will feature luxury marble and high-gloss cabinetry, Calcutta Borghini countertops, and an oversized shower with a freestanding bench, as well as a separate soaking tub positioned under the windows to overlook Cutlass Cove.

Homeowners will also be able to take in exquisite views from every angle of the home with large windows and sliding glass doors throughout the space.  Those same sliding glass doors will provide access to the expansive outdoor living space featuring a large living area with an outdoor kitchen and two grills, including a circular EVO flattop built into the large freestanding island bar. State-of-the-art technology includes two 48-inch TVs, hidden audio and video equipment, and motorized draperies.  

Extend past the outdoor living area and you’ll find yourself dipping your toes in the custom pool and lounging in the in-water benches and built-in spa with two spillways.  Just beside the custom pool is a gathering space with a grassy area and comfortable chars strategically placed to enjoy a fire from the custom fire pit.  Further out, you’ll be able to enjoy the calming waters of Cutlass Cove and indulge in the open water through your private boat dock that provides access to the Gulf of Mexico through Gordon Pass.  Resort-style living in this custom home includes membership eligibility in the Port Royal Resort and Cutlass Cove Beach Club.

This home is one of two luxury custom homes being built on Gordon Drive and one of the many Naples Collection luxury model homes available in desirable neighborhoods from Park Shore Naples to Port Royal Naples, recognized as one of the most exclusive areas in all of the United States.
