| Highlights
La Mariposa is the epitome of timeless architectural
styling executed with extraordinary detail by McGarvey
Custom Homes. Wrought iron gates open beneath a classic
Mediterranean archway to a formal interior courtyard.
Lush formal plantings, reminiscent of the botanical
gardens of Tuscany, surround a stone fountain that
marks the double-door gateway to this incredible home.
A formal entry gallery under a
rotunda creates an immediate feeling of majesty and
old-world romance. Bubbling fountains and pools capture
the eye and serve as a focal point of the formal living
room.
The right side of the home has
been designed for Florida style entertaining. There
is both a formal dining room for eight, and spacious
covered outdoor kitchen for tropical style dining
out in the cool breeze of evening. The opulent kitchen,
a masterpiece of rich granites, tumbled stones and
fine wood cabinetry is easily the center of the party
with its island cooktop and workspace bar facing large
glass windows.
A breakfast nook and the massive
leisure room are served by this fun and open kitchen
equipped for the most discerning gourmet with exceptional
restaurant cooking implements. Covered patios spill
outward to a splendid architectural swimming pool
with raised spa, waterfalls and fountains. All of
these pleasing waterscapes are framed by the green
fairway of Quail West's "Lakes" course.
Enjoying a separate "wing" of this home
is the master suite.
The master bedroom features a
magnificent fireplace, and its own private covered
patio with easy access to the outdoor spa. An 18'x13'
wardrobe room and dressing area leads to the master
bath, itself a major living area of this home, with
an imaginative oval tub framed with curved glass,
his and her private vanities and waterclosets and
a large walk in shower. Starlight and sunlight flood
in from above the pedestal bath. A privacy garden
encircles this wonderfully creative space. Breezeways
connect the garage and courtyard entries. The avid
golfer will find ample cart storage as well as a side-opening
garage to accommodate three large motor cars.
