Bellagio Custom Homes’ Luxury Model Scores Hat Trick in Flagler Parade of Homes

PALM COAST – Three-year-old Bellagio Custom Homes is proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the luxury homebuilding industry, as the family-owned company’s well-appointed Florenza II luxury model received three top honors at the 2013 Flagler Parade of Homes. Bellagio, which is a sister company of SeaGate Homes – brought home trophies for the first-place Realtor's Choice Award in the $320,000 and above category, a Grand Award in the $345,000-$375,000 range, and the Top Score Award for the best home in the parade, according to Robert Gazzoli, president of the Palm Coast-based company. But, kudos aren’t anything new for the 3,490-square-foot Florenza II model, which is situated on a half-acre lakefront lot with a breathtaking pool and spa at 212 Willow Oak Way in the Wild Oaks estate neighborhood of Grand Haven. The four-bedroom, four-bath model received two top awards – the Grand Award and Realtor’s Choice Award – at last year’s parade. Not a bad showing for two consecutive years from one of the area’s newest homebuilders. “I think it says a lot about our designs and workmanship that the $742,000 model sold last year while it was being built,” Gazzoli said. “We are currently doing a lease-back on it and are in the planning stages of a new model in Ocean Hammock.” Gazzoli, who also serves as president of SeaGate Homes – Flagler County’s largest homebuilder – said the decision to create a separate luxury homebuilding company is proving to have been a wise one. Throughout SeaGate’s 19 years in business, Gazzoli said the company has had numerous requests for larger, custom homes. “We decided to start a new company because there were just so many differences that it didn’t make sense to try and be everything to everyone,” he said. “Bellagio – which has a variety of plans to choose from – also offers in-house architectural drafting and employs a licensed Interior Designer to assist customers in making color selections and is building a new Design Studio complete with over 2,000 sq. ft. of display space for customers coordinate their interior appointments.” The growing company, which Gazzoli said has plans to start more inventory homes in Ocean Hammock and Palm Coast Plantation, has several contracted homes under construction in Grand Haven, the Tidelands, Ocean Hammock, Palm Coast Plantation and Hammock Dunes.
