both regions posted double-digit gains compared to the first six months of 2012. We sensed last fall that buyers were no longer content waiting on the sidelines, a fact that’s evident not only in the number of home sales but also in the dramatic increases in the number of visitors to our sales centers.
London Bay Homes anticipates the elevated level of activity to continue well into 2014. Of course, our focus each and every day remains on creating the exquisite new homes that help shape the dreams of our future residents. We invite you to join us.
The Mediterra community in Naples reported more than $100 million in sales during the two quarters alone, and are well on their way to surpassing last year’s totals by leaps and bounds. In Sarasota, London Bay is in the process of building a 25,000 square foot custom

ULTIMATE LUXURY:
Custom Home Designs London Bay Homes is proud to have created many of Southwest Florida’s most stunning private residences in prestigious communities and neighborhoods from Sarasota to Marco Island. Our in-house architecture and design teams work side-by-side with our clients to bring their vision to life with expert craftsmanship and attention to detail that ensure every home meets our exceptional standards – and yours. One private custom home in Naples recently won top awards from the National Association of Home Builders: The 2013 National Gold Award for Best Interior Design of a Custom Home, for our affiliate Romanza Interiors, and The 2013 National Silver Award for Best One-of-a-Kind Custom Home. Created in partnership with discerning clients, the stunning island estate includes 8,200 square feet of air-conditioned living space and 12,000 square feet total, with a carriage house and infinity-edge lap pool. Recently, London Bay Homes was contracted to build the largest home in Lakewood Ranch – a 16,000-square-foot main estate – with more than 24,000 square feet on three homesites in The Lake Club, plus an adjoining three-lane lap pool and an enclosed half basketball court. Unique custom homes – delivered with our unwavering commitment to Private Label Living – are the hallmark of London Bay’s success in Southwest Florida. We look forward to working with you.

Say Hello to Modern-Transitional
INTERIOR DESIGN
“Modern-transitional interior design creates a unique style that’s well-suited to Florida homes and today’s lifestyles. In this presentation, “modern” isn’t defined by stark contrasts or all-white furnishings. Instead, “modern” speaks to elegant simplicity and a clean-lined look,” says Jennifer Stevens, senior design director for Romanza Interior Design. The style has been eagerly embraced as an alternative to the Old World design often favored in local interiors. Modern-transitional design is light and refreshing, following a less-is-more philosophy that combines natural elements such as wood and trend-on driftwood tones with bright accent colors, metallic finishes and the oh-socontemporary lighting fixtures that Romanza designers have a knack for sourcing. Visit a Romanza-designed model home to see and feel the difference our experts bring when translating your personal style into your home’s interior design.
