Borelli Construction – Gold Rush

Our clients, who built at 640 Starboard Dr, live in a Chicago suburb for the majority of the year. Once they visited Naples, they decided this would be the perfect town to build their vacation home. They saw some of our other houses in the Moorings and decided they’d like to build with us.

As their “home away from home”, the homeowners hoped to spend most of their time outside, enjoying the Florida weather. Therefore, the outdoor living space was a significant focus during the building process. The end results did not disappoint. They built a 50′ long pool which also included a 12-person spa. This needed to be big enough to accommodate all of the family and friends they plan on having over for get-togethers. Next to their beautiful, completely tiled spa, there is a firepit with ample seating allowing for a great conversation spot. The pool area also included a waterfall wall, flowing around stepping stones, creating tranquil ambient sounds.

These homeowners loved to entertain friends and family. One of their major requirements was having a living space conducive for hosting large events. That being said, the 32-foot hidden, pocket slider doors were a must have. These special doors allowed for a seamless flow between their outdoor living space and their great room/kitchen areas. Creating an even larger area for all of their friends and family to mingle. Behind their kitchen, they had a butler’s pantry designed to satisfy their caterer’s every need; ample counter space and all the appliances needed to serve up delicious food.

The ceilings in this house were something both the homeowners and our team had an amazing time creating. The different ceiling designs included custom stained white oak vaulted beams, custom wood details with gold leaf wallpaper, custom stained, floating pyramid-stepped ceiling, and more. The craftsmanship and attention to detail made these ceilings truly one of a kind. Other special features of this home include:
• Custom mitered natural stone shelving with LED lighting surrounding the fireplace and TV unit in the great room
• Custom 10’x8′ picture window in the primary bathroom overlooking lush greenery creating a spa-like feel
• Dining Room custom built-in buffet with two temperature-controlled wine cabinets on either side
• Powder bathroom that is 100% completely finished in a blue, high lacquered finish, with a custom LED-lit stone sink
• High-end plumbing fixtures including Kallista, Brizo & Kohler
• 8″ thick mitered countertops in the primary bathroom
• $15,000 in pool pebbling upgrades which give the pool a beautiful, blue sparkle
• Butler’s pantry including Wolf, Asko, and Bosch appliances
• SubZero/Wolf appliances in the kitchen
• Custom Vent-A-Hood hood in the kitchen
• Beautiful custom tile rug surrounded with a wood border in the foyer
• Single-car garage turned into an exercise room
• Putting green with two holes
Our clients were very happy with the end result of their 2nd home in Naples. They are looking forward to spending more and more time throughout the year
