Homes by WestBay debuts upscale model homes during Dec. 16 grand opening in EVERLY at Wellen Park

VENICE, Fla. (Dec. 13, 2023) – Homes by WestBay is hosting the grand opening of two furnished model homes Saturday, Dec. 16, in EVERLY, Wellen Park’s first multi-builder neighborhood featuring luxury custom homes, exclusive private amenities and a scenic setting nestled along a signature 50-acre lake and a future nature trail. The event marks the onset of new homes sales for the Tampa Bay-area builder, which offers upscale single-family residences on the gated enclave’s 62-foot homesites.

            “We’re excited for Homes by WestBay’s debut as a new builder in Wellen Park,” said Rick Severance, president of Wellen Park. “The model opening provides homebuyers with the first look inside these amazing homes and the EVERLY lifestyle.”

The fully decorated models showcase two of the builder’s 10 home designs. The two-story Gasparilla II features a sought-after open-concept floor plan flowing between kitchen and grand room, its spacious 3,618 square feet amplified by 12-foot ceilings and wide sliding glass doors to the covered lanai elevating Florida’s year-round indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The home has four bedrooms – three on the first floor, including the owner’s retreat – four bathrooms, a den, a roomy second-floor bonus room, and one- and two-car garages.

Designed for family time and entertaining, the Gasparilla II features a gourmet kitchen with a large center island, a butler’s pantry and an oversized walk-in pantry. Both first-floor guest suites have walk-in closets; one boasts a private bath and is next to the single-car garage making it well-suited as a multigenerational suite.

The owner’s retreat features an oversized walk-in closet. Its luxurious bathroom has a dual-sink vanity with a built-in makeup table, a garden tub and glass-enclosed shower. The second floor offers the bonus room, a bedroom and full bath.

The four-bedroom, four-bath Biscayne II model spans 3,138 square feet on two floors. It has 12-foot ceilings, a three-car garage and an open floor plan blending kitchen, grand room and a dining room into a spacious main living area. Sliding glass doors open to the covered lanai extending interior spaces outside. The kitchen features a cafe for casual dining, a walk-in pantry and a freestanding island which can be enlarged for additional storage and workspace.

The secluded owner’s retreat features walk-in closets and a well-appointed bathroom offering a garden tub, a separate shower and two vanities, including one with a dressing table. Three bedrooms on the first floor provide flexible options – as a den, a dining room, an office or whatever the homebuyer desires. Upstairs, there’s a large bonus room, the fifth bedroom and an additional bathroom.

Homes by WestBay’s one- and two-story floor plans in EVERLY offer three to five bedrooms, three to five bathrooms, three-car garages and 2,535 to 3,657 under air. Designer finishes include quartz countertops in kitchens and bathrooms, 17-by-17-inch ceramic tile flooring in main living areas and bathrooms and crown molding on all upper cabinetry. Deluxe kitchens feature spacious islands with workspace and seating per plan, designer recessed panel cabinets and stainless-steel ranges, microwaves and dishwashers.

Floor plan-specific options allow homebuyers to personalize their home by adding sunrooms, dining rooms, dens, extra bedrooms and bathrooms, wet bars, fireplace and tray ceilings and elevated outdoor living with extended lanais, pools and spas.

Homes by WestBay’s upscale residences in EVERLY start in the $660,000s.
