Of the 25 homes open for viewing, Distinctive Communities, Inc. a local luxury custom home builder is premiering their newest showcase model during the Tour that ends this Sunday, February 17th.

The Renoir in Marsala at Tiburon continues its Grand Opening celebration today and is a highlight of the Naples Luxury Home Tour. Located just North of Vanderbilt on Livingston Road in the private enclave of Marsala at Tiburon, Distinctive Communities newest model breaks free from the Neapolitan tradition of Tuscan style homes and explores a Cuban inspired design. Painted with a palette of spice inspired hues, the colors are soothing and warm creating layers of texture and sophistication. The Renoir model, at 4300 square feet under air features 4 bedrooms, each with a private bath, formal living and dining rooms as well as a casual eating and living areas off of the kitchen.

In the Renoir, Distinctive Communities and its' design team have created a home that is beautiful, exotic in style and perfect in craftsmanship, With a nod to the quite tranquility of its surroundings. The dark cherry hardwood flooring glides thru the house, and has a true coastal feel when combined with the bright creamy painted moldings and turned pickets gracing the stairwell. This casual informality pays homage to the detailed craftsmanship exhibited throughout the home and quietly alludes to the Florida landscape just beyond. No detail has been left unnoticed in both design and decor; of the 4 bedroom suites, the master and one guest suite is situated downstairs providing both privacy and accessibility of ease to the main living areas of the home. The upstairs guest rooms feature superior views; and from the romantic Spanish inspired balcony, breathtaking vistas of both the outdoor verandah, lagoon style pool and the luscious rolling greens of the Tiburon Black Course fairway can be enjoyed. "Marsala offers a rare opportunity in a prime location" says David Sturdyvin, Vice President of Distinctive Communities, Inc, a preffered builder in Tiburon. "It ( Marsala) is one of the best kept secrets in Naples".
