Lennar’s New Coach Homes at Gran Paradiso in Venice Boast Lots of Open Space, Plenty of Flair

Venice, Fla. --- Two new Coach Homes promise a lot more than meets the eye at Gran Paradiso, the luxury community Lennar Homes is building on Galleria Boulevard off U.S. 41 (Tamiami Trail) between South Venice and North Port in Venice. That’s always the case for Lennar, whose trademarked Everything’s IncludedTM upgrades--granite countertops, maplewood cabinetry, designer fixtures, stainless steel appliances and highly rated energy efficiency for starters---are included in the standard Lennar purchase price. David Meyers, director of sales and marketing in Lennar’s Southwest Florida Division, said Lennar has gone one better in its two new Coach Home designs. The one-story Hibiscus floor plan offers 1,741 square feet of living space with three bedrooms, two baths, a covered lanai and side entry foyer, priced from $229,990 with a two-car garage. The two-story Oleander floor plan offers three bedrooms, two baths, a covered patio and a stylish ground-floor foyer in 2,068 square feet of living space, priced from $249,990 with a three-car tandem garage. “Both homes have been designed to take advantage of open space living,” Meyers said. Lennar designers rewrote the rules to focus on sweeping family leisure spaces that include great rooms, dining areas and lanais conveniently served by open gourmet kitchens to showcase elegant living at its finest. Meyers said Lennar plans 116 Coach Homes in 29 buildins at Gran Paradiso and construction of the first new Coach Homes buildings has already started at Ragazza Circle in the community. A grand opening event is slated for March, but early buyers can get a sneak preview any day at the Gran Paradiso Welcome Home Center, Meyers added. Lennar recently opened the new 20,000 square-foot community clubhouse at Gran Paradiso and is days away from opening a new zero-entry swimming pool. The clubhouse, which includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, a media center, spa, steam room and locker facilities, adjoins the swimming pool and cabanas. The center is surrounded by 17,000 square feet of brick paver decking that adjoins a plaza leading to tennis courts, fitness trails and a children’s playground. Altogether 1,800 new homes are planned at Gran Paradiso, priced from the low $200s to more than $500,000. Lennar is also building Estate Homes, Executive Homes, Manor Homes and Villas at Gran Paradiso that range in size from 1,340 square feet of living space to almost 4,000 square feet.
