More than 300 Prospective Home Buyers attend Preview of Gran Paradiso in Venice, Model Homes to Open in January

Venice, Fla. --- More than 300 prospective home buyers attended the recent sneak preview of Gran Paradiso, the new luxury resort community in Venice that will open in January. Matt Devereaux, director of sales and marketing for Lennar’s Southwest Florida Division, said most participants plan to return in January when Lennar opens its new model homes. “The buzz about Gran Paradiso is really exciting and it looks as if this community will live up to its reputation,” Devereaux said. The short list of planned amenities include a community center, swimming pool and spa with poolside cabanas, tennis courts, fitness trails, a media center, steam room, children’s playground and more facilities that haven’t been confirmed. “Gran Paradiso is a resort-style community that will be rich with amenities,” Devereaux said. Altogether 1,800 new homes are planned at Gran Paradiso, priced from the high $100s to more than $500,000. Lennar is building three, four and five-bedroom single-family homes and twin villas at Gran Paradiso that range in size from 1,340 square feet of living space to 3,800 square feet. Devereaux said Lennar plans to offer its NextGen® homes for multi-generational families along with Executive homes, Manor homes, Estate homes and Twin Villas at Gran Paradiso. The Trevi model Executive home, now under construction, offers four bedrooms and three baths in 2,032 square feet of living area with an open floor plan and a huge open family life space that includes kitchen, living and dining room areas. The Princeton II model Manor home offers four bedrooms, two baths, a great room, breakfast nook and formal dining room in 2,244 square feet with large master bedroom suite. The Oakmont model Estate home will open with 2,361 square feet of living area that includes four bedrooms, two full baths and a half-bath, a great room, breakfast nook, formal dining room and large master bedroom suite. “Gran Paradiso was planned and designed to be the premier luxury resort community in Venice, and we are anticipating large crowds when we open our model homes in January,” Devereaux said.
