NAPLES, Fla. - June 25, 2015 - PRLog -- Toronto-based G.E.S. Construction Limited has announced the completion of the Biscayne, its newest custom model home located at 1234 Gordon River Trail within Estuary at Grey Oaks in Naples. The community is marketed exclusively by Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.

The Biscayne has a contemporary, open floor plan with more than 7,500 square feet of air conditioned living space. Currently priced at $7,495,000 furnished, the home has five bedrooms, five full and two half baths. The Biscayne’s architectural design was created by John Cooney, Partner of Stofft Cooney Architects. Sharon Gilkey of Montanna & Associates served as interior designer.

"Building and/or purchasing a custom home such as the Biscayne means more than simply owning a piece of real estate," said Greg Seligman, President and Founder, G.E.S. Construction Limited. "It’s about owning a signed original work, which can never be duplicated."

Quality construction is evident in every detail of the home’s distinctive architecture, beginning with the impact-rated handcrafted mahogany entry door which opens to a dramatic foyer with stepped ceiling. The gallery hallway leads to a spacious great room accented by impact-resistant Anderson windows. A cozy fireplace and customized stained wood paneled ceiling complement this warm and inviting living space, which flows into an open dining room with double tray ceiling. Marble, limestone tile and hardwood floors are infused throughout the home.

One of the crown jewels of the first floor is the chef-inspired kitchen. Every aspect of the kitchen is designed to the highest culinary standards. Custom millwork with stone countertops accent the Miele gourmet appliance package. A spacious walk-in pantry is outfitted with built-in storage and an under-counter icemaker. A custom, 102-bottle built-in Miele wine refrigerator is integrated with a wood-paneled wall. The kitchen expands to a breakfast area with additional storage, including an office work station. A floor-to-ceiling glass wall overlooks the serene reflecting pool. Pocket sliding doors lead to the outdoor living and entertainment area.

Conveniently located near the kitchen, a spacious utility room is designed with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, Maytag washer and dryer, utility sink and a drip-dry area. A private powder room is within close proximity.

The luxurious master suite features a gracious master bedroom with sitting area and French doors that open to the pool. Spacious his-and-her walk-in closets provide the ultimate organizational experience. The master bathroom is adorned with marble flooring and is designed with the most exquisite features. A freestanding Kohler soaking tub with customized featured wall is complemented by a separate, generous marble shower, replete with bench seating and luxurious body sprays. Dual vanities are accented by marble countertops and discrete his-and-her water closets include bidets.

The first floor also boasts a club room with detailed coffered ceiling, custom wood built-in cabinetry, hardwood floors and stained wood doors. For special guests, a private VIP suite is designed with sumptuous hardwood floors. This enclave includes a separate living area, morning kitchen, cabana bath and walk-in closet.

A soaring two-story floating staircase with architecturally-designed steel railing leads to the Biscayne’s second level, which is also accessible by an elevator. Three additional bedrooms are tastefully appointed with spacious walk-in closets. All bedrooms feature private en-suite bathrooms with exquisite Kohler and Mirabelle plumbing fixtures. An adjacent second-floor lounge is designed with tongue and groove wood tray ceiling, hardwood floors and wet bar feature. This open living space leads to one of two stunning covered balconies with custom-designed anodized bronze metal railings.

A true smart home, the Biscayne is built with Crestron home automation that will have integrated access to the owners’ handheld devices. Audio and visual distribution is planned throughout the interior and exterior of the home. Lutron programmable touch-screen thermostats are engineered to work with the system. The custom automation also includes a wireless network throughout the home with additional access points to ensure complete coverage. In addition, a comprehensive alarm system with multiple keypads encompasses heat, smoke and carbon monoxide detection, all with cellular backup. Keyless garage door controls also have handheld device compatibility. A low-voltage, programmable integrated landscape lighting system and automatic irrigation system are also synchronized.

Energy efficiency is paramount in every aspect of the Biscayne’s design and construction. Two Navien premium tankless water heating systems include four Lenox high-efficiency heat pumps. Three Honeywell dehumidification systems are installed throughout the home. Hidden air diffusers are placed in the great room and master suite ceilings. In addition, the estate features energy-efficient Juno low voltage lighting. Thermal envelope building insulation technology includes spray foam insulation.

The outdoor oasis is tailor-made for relaxation and entertainment. The landscape architect-designed swimming pool includes a secondary reflecting pool, sun-shelf with floating spa, stepping stones, unique water and fire feature, and gas-fired pool heating. The outdoor living area is framed by a tongue and groove cypress ceiling, motorized roll-down screens, hurricane shutters and pre-cast stone decking.
