Theory Design’s Vice President of Design Ruta Menaghlazi is completing the finishing touches for the interior design of Seagate Development Group’s Monterey model in the Isola Bella neighborhood at Talis Park in North Naples that is now open for viewing and purchase. Completion of the finishes on the home’s exterior is progressing as planned and the model is on schedule to be totally completed next month. One of Talis Park’s most coveted neighborhoods, Isola Bella is 4.5-acre enclave of 17 single-family waterfront homes being developed by Seagate. Thirteen homesites remain available. Seagate is offering a full golf membership worth $97,500 with new home purchases and newly constructed custom residences at Isola Bella for a limited time. Ruta also created the interior for Seagate’s completed Sonoma model in Isola Bella that is now under contract. The neighborhood’s homesites can accommodate custom estate residences from 3,500 to more than 5,000 square feet.
Before entering the Monterey model, visitors are greeted by a cascading entry water feature. Once inside, they will be welcomed by a stunning Steinway piano. Priced at $3.995 million furnished, the two-story, 4,414 square feet under air model includes a foyer that leads to a sitting area, a wine room, a powder bath, a VIP guest suite, and an elevator. Beyond the sitting area, the plan features a great room, a dining area with a wet bar and built-in cabinetry, and an island kitchen with a walk-in pantry and laundry area. The living area opens to an outdoor living space with a view of a lake, oak trees, and a dramatic bridge. The outdoor space features a floor to ceiling stone fireplace, an outdoor kitchen, covered conversation and casual dining areas, a pool bath, and a multi-level deck with a spill-over pool and spa. Upstairs, the master suite and a loft opens to a sundeck showcasing a scenic view. The master suite features walk-in closets and a bath with separate water closets, separate vanities, a free-standing tub, and a walk-in shower. Two guest suites with private baths and a second laundry room are included upstairs.
The Monterey presents a modern coastal feeling with soft neutral grey and white backgrounds, dark walnut, natural oak and ebony accents, and warm wire-brushed oak flooring. The clean-lined interior features reversed-soffit ceiling details with cove lighting in the living areas. The staircase includes cable and iron railings. The home’s landscaped entry sequence features a soothing water feature. A double door opens to a foyer with a two-story ceiling, an open staircase leading to an open loft, and an elevator. The foyer also provides points of entry to a VIP guest suite, a walk-in pantry and laundry room with built-in cabinetry and a refrigerator, and the three-car garage. A sitting room situated between the foyer and the great room features a reverse soffit ceiling and a view of a glass encased walk-in wine room.
The Monterey’s first floor living area includes a reverse soffit ceiling with cove lighting, an over-sized island featuring counter-height barstool seating in the kitchen, and a dining area that accommodates seating for ten. The kitchen features clean-lined cabinetry with soffits that convey a built-in look, quartzite countertops, a cook-top with an architectural hood, and a built-in wall oven. A wet bar is included in the dining area.
The great room and dining area open to the two-level outdoor living area with an infinity edge pool and a spill-over that provide a soothing water wall for those sitting by the firepit on the lower level. The pool includes a side wall with waterspouts. A custom spa features a sun shelf and LED illuminated bubblers. The lanai’s fireplace, outdoor kitchen, conversation and dining areas, and pool bath enhance the outdoor experience.
The upstairs features reverse soffit ceiling details, a morning bar with an undercounter refrigerator, and a loft that opens to a covered deck and an uncovered sundeck overlooking a water view. French doors in the master bedroom also open to the covered deck. The master bath features walk-in closets, separate water closets, a free-standing tub, and a walk-in shower. Two upstairs guest suites include private baths and walk-in closets.
The completed two-story 4,012 square feet under air Sonoma model that is now under contract features an outdoor living area with conversation and dining areas, a fireplace, outdoor kitchen, pool bath, and a custom pool and spa. The first floor includes a great room and dining area that open to the outdoors, an island kitchen with a walk-in pantry, a powder bath, and a VIP guest suite. A glass wall wine room and bar and a custom entertainment wall are featured in the great room. An elevator leads to the second floor that showcases a master suite with walk-in closets, a sitting area opening to a sun deck, and a bath with separate vanities, a free-standing tub, and a walk-in shower. Two guest suites, a loft with a morning bar, and a study or exercise area are also on the second floor.
Ruta created a California coastal style for the Sonoma. Wire-brushed oak floors combine with soft white ivory and tan backgrounds and wood beamed ceilings to present a relaxed, elegant ambiance. Prior to entering, visitors will experience a landscaped setting and a cascading water wall. The foyer leads to the great room and provides views of the pool and the outdoor area.
A custom wall feature is a highlight in the great room. A bar with a stone countertop anchors one end of the built-in. The space features a walk-in glass wine room as well as a beamed ceiling detail matching the flooring that extends into the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen’s island features a base with a matte black finish, a waterfall counter surface, and counter-height barstools. Rectangular windows set high on the wall provide natural light through the glass cabinetry. Wire-brushed oak cabinetry is complimented by quartzite countertops and a stone backsplash. A custom matte black architectural hood is positioned over a gas cooktop.
The great room and dining area share a pocketing slider that connects the interior with the outdoor living area. A three-level pool deck overlooks Talis Park’s splendid views. The top level features an infinity edge pool and a spa with fire bowls. The second level offers a seating area, and the lowest level features a waterfront terrace with a fire pit.
A staircase with wire-brushed oak treads and risers, a custom iron railing and balusters leads to the upstairs where a hallway features coffered ceiling details and leads to a second-floor sundeck. The master bedroom and one of the upstairs guest suites open to the sundeck. A loft space features a morning bar adjacent to an open area that can serve as a yoga room or study.
