Village Builders' Home Breaks with Tradition

Iconoclasts hoping for a breath of fresh air in home design need look no further than Village Builders’ newly available home at 4822 Kendalia Cloud Lane in Cross Creek Ranch. Breaking with tradition, the home features Italianate-style architecture, unusual design features and exceptional amenities.

With the gently sloping roof, triptych of slim arched windows and stone-accented stucco façade typical of the Italianate style, the home presents a cheery, welcoming face to the world. Roman arches, decorative ceilings and columns characterize the interior of the home, extending the theme. Gleaming hardwood floors and a spectacular two-story wall of windows give the family room the air of a contemporary cathedral, enhanced by the uniquely curved island kitchen with breakfast bar. Exotic granite countertops, maple-glazed cabinets painted white, distinctive pendant lights and an upgraded backsplash turn the utilitarian space into a work of art.

In addition to the kitchen island, the home offers other unusual design features, including a first-floor game room, a handsome study crowned with wood beams and a finely crafted master suite. The suite features a curved wall of windows, sitting area and an elegant bath. Exotic granite counters, upgraded tile surrounds and columns invoke the feel of an ancient Roman bath, allowing owners to luxuriate in the deep soaking tub or rinse off in the frameless walk-in shower. The master closet rivals any boutique with floor-to-ceiling shelves and mirrors.

The classic spiral staircase leads up to an additional game room, as well as a media room. A convenient kitchenette optimizes the space for entertaining, but the entire section could be transformed into living quarters for multi-generational use. All three of the bedrooms on the second floor have their own baths. The 5,126-square-foot home also offers a formal dining room, three-car garage, computer center, mudroom and an indoor utility room. It is priced at $703,135.

Village Builders offers three home collections in the Creek Cove neighborhood of Cross Creek Ranch. The Classic and Kingston series are priced from the $500,000s to the $600,000s. The Renaissance Collection starts in the $620,000s.

Cross Creek Ranch is reminiscent of the Italian countryside with its 400 acres of vast greenbelts, lakes and hike and bike trails. During the summer, residents enjoy the cool delights of the Adventure Island waterpark featuring a 140-foot water slide poised atop the community’s iconic Hill overlooking the main lake. A second aquatic center, Flewellen Creek Pool, offers an infinity-edge pool with lap lanes and shaded sunbeds.
