Step into another world as you enter the Italian-inspired masterpiece The Cellini, designed by The Sater Design Group and built by Homes by John C. Fowke. The centerpiece of the Tampa Bay Builders Association 2008 Spring Parade of Homes™ is situated on a beautiful corner lot with lush
landscaping in the Garden District of the award-winning community of FishHawk Ranch™.
Past the columned portico, one enters this beautiful home through the exquisite, 10'-high, round-top, four-panel, solid mahogany door and feels the warmth of the open floor plan. A bank of glass doors opens directly into the courtyard and brings the outside entertainment area of this home into the
grande room, which features a soaring tiered ceiling and a two story, cast-stone fireplace. Step into Old Tuscany in the kitchen, which features handsome Kraftmaid cabinetry of Courtney Cherry in Kaffe finish. Heavy-beamed ceilings throughout the breakfast area and leisure room create a cozy Old World
environment. Following the richly appointed stairway, two bedrooms await, along with an outdoor sun balcony that serves up an amazing view of the courtyard and pool. Don't miss the Juliet balcony that looks down into the grande room. Retreat to the luxurious master suite that overlooks the courtyard and includes a striking master bath that features a large sunken Jacuzzi® with a fountain and volume ceilings.
All of this luxury centers on the fabulous courtyard and outdoor entertaining area. Lounge by the pool, and listen to the magnificent, tiered, spillover fountain. After a dip in the spa, dry off by the outdoor stone fireplace, and enjoy a meal created in the outdoor kitchen. A detached cabana/study completes
this Mediterranean oasis.
 FishHawk Ranch™ by Newland Communities serves as the perfect backdrop for this custom home as it masterfully blends the essence of comfortable living with environmental sensitivity. With a spirit of its own, FishHawk Ranch™ offers over 25 miles of trails, three clubhouses, five pools, a special events facility and a central park that serves as the venue for a year-round social calendar, including concerts in the park, art festivals, outdoor movies and other special events.
 The 2008 Showcase Home features 5,534 total square feet, with a living area of 3,446 square feet. This green-built house offers some tremendous energy-efficient amenities. PGT Low-E insulated glass windows, Icynene® attic insulation, Dupont® storm room, and Sub-Zero® and Wolf™ appliances are just a few of the green aspects of this home. Additional appointments include Moen® Showhouse plumbing fixtures, Monier/Lifetile™ Saxony 900 slate tile roofing and Masonite® Cheyenne smooth, two-panel-plank, interior doors.
Coren Weiss, ASID, interior designer with Inner Creations, Inc., has reinforced the green environment of the home by utilizing natural travertine, wood flooring and recyclable Shaw™ carpets. Most of the rooms are enveloped with Color Wheel Solace and low-VOC colors. Decorative touches feature
bamboo wainscot paneling, wood and glass beaded trims and glass-tiled walls. Rich wood tones and earthy Tuscan colors were chosen to enhance the Old World appeal of this extraordinary home.
 Newland Communities has made a commitment to reduce its environmental footprint, as well. Not only have they been recognized by the State of Florida and the National Arbor Foundation for their effort to preserve trees, but they also continue to seek new and innovative ways to lessen their impact on the land.
