[lifestyle ] Quiet, relaxing lifestyle at Genova a major benefit to buyers

[_Happy boy]

There’s no doubt Genova has one of the best locations of any community in Southwest Florida. When it comes to onsite amenities, Genova once again surpasses all others. And as for quality of construction – one might say the resort-lifestyle’s luxury condominiums are SOLIDLY in the lead.

“The quality of construction of our residential buildings was a major factor in many of our residents deciding to purchase a home at Genova,” said Sales Associate Karen Duncan. “They love the fact the buildings are solidly built, which in addition to its obvious benefits, has a side benefit as well.”

That side benefit can be summed up in three words: Peace and Quiet.

“When our residents are out and about, whether it be shopping, dining or running errands away from Genova, they are part of the hustle and bustle of Southwest Florida,” commented Duncan. “However, when they arrive home, unlock their front door and step into their residence, the outside world fades away and a calmness and quietness envelops them thanks in part to the materials and care taken during our building’s construction phase.”

There are a number of reasons the residential buildings at Genova minimize outside noise. First, there is the concrete block construction and the poured concrete floors between levels.

Secondly, it is very uncommon to find interior walls insulated, but all of them are at Genova. Add to that the eight-foot solid core doors, impact glass windows and sliding glass doors.

“All together, these elements, construction materials, as well as other factors, help reduce noise and add to the peace and quiet our residents truly treasure,” adds Duncan. “Genova is a very fun place to live and play. But, if our residents need a little respite from their busy day – all they need to do is return home.”

Duncan said the peace and quiet Genova offers is a much-appreciated selling point when potential buyers first inquire about the community.

“As for discussing our quality construction and how it protects from the outside noise, you might say I give potential new residents some ‘sound’ advice,” smiled Duncan.

Genova is perfectly located in Estero, just north of Bonita Springs and between Naples and Fort Myers. It’s within a short five-minute drive to Coconut Point mall, less than a 10-minute drive to Miromar Outlets and the Southwest Florida International Airport, as well as just a few minutes from the sugar sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

Now is the perfect time to purchase a luxury residence at Genova. The incentive buyers received late last year has been extended into the new year. Buyers can receive $10,000 to $35,000 off options depending on the residence they purchase.

“At Genova, buyers are loving the idea of saving money by moving into a condominium that lives like a luxurious single-family home,” said Duncan. “Combine the value of Genova with the incentives we’re offering and it’s an opportunity those searching for the perfect home shouldn’t miss.”

Prospective buyers can witness firsthand the many design options, upgrades and single-family home features in Genova’s recently completed model located in Building D.

The new model, which is the Spinola floor plan, is a two-bedroom/two-bath plan with 1,476 square feet under air and 2,336 total square feet. Priced from $389,000, the Spinola features a large great room, expansive outdoor living area, gourmet island kitchen, guest bedroom and bath en suite.

"The spaciousness of these condominiums needs to be seen to be believed," Duncan said. "When you add in the fact that life here is maintenance-free, it's a win-win for our buyers."

Like every Genova residence, the new model in Building D has a private, two-car garage with an 18-foot door, 24-foot depth and remote-control opener. Guest parking can also be found in the under-building garages.

The floor plans at Genova also allow for modifications that potential buyers often seek, which many residents take advantage of. These include converting bedrooms to a home office or art studio, adding a double shower to the master bathroom, a multitude of finish options for the flooring, cabinetry and counter tops, combining rooms to make for larger great rooms and adding coffered ceilings and wall niches, which adds architectural interest and additional detail.

“Our buyers are always very excited to hear that our floor plans and residences can truly be made their own through the endless upgrade options we offer,” said Duncan. “The flex room that is included in our floor plans gives residents a spare room to use for whatever best fits their needs: an extra bedroom, additional office space or hobby room. It affords them the ability to really showcase their individual personalities.”

Each residence in Building E, which represents the final phase in the community, overlooks either a courtyard, atrium or lake, with a number of condos offering a combination. Seven floor plans are available ranging in size from two to four bedrooms and 1,476 square feet to 2,206 square feet. Prices range from the mid-$300s to the $700s.

The location aside, the incredible list of amenities at Genova is reason alone to purchase here. An Italian Riviera-style clubhouse is the centerpiece of the community with an expansive gathering room equipped with a large-screen TV, lounge seating and a hospitality prep kitchen, ideal for hosting private events.

There’s also a beach-edge, resort-style pool that overlooks one of the community’s lakes, a lakeside sundeck that overlooks Genova’s water features and a covered 25-meter lap pool, perfect for year-round swimming.

The fitness center, which hosts classes, as well as private sessions, is a state-of-the-art facility. Adjacent to it lies the aerobics studio for exercise, yoga, Zumba and dance. Locker rooms with showers, as well as a sauna and massage room are also a part of the extensive amenity package.

And finally, at the front entrance of the clubhouse, are two regulation bocce courts.

Residents of Genova live an active lifestyle thanks to events that are hosted by the community’s resident life director. Currently, residents are able to attend socially distanced events like guest lectures and Food Truck Fridays.

Potential buyers can visit the Sales Center and tour select residences Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. Prearranged appointments are preferred, but not required.

Genova is located at 21530 Strada Nuova Circle, #101, in Estero, at the intersection of Via Coconut Point Road and Corkscrew Road, between U.S. 41 and Three Oaks Parkway. Contact the Sales Center for more information on which floor plans are available to tour.
