Builder Wins SPIRIT Award

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Think of everything you love about coastal living. Stunning residences, gorgeous locations, resort-style amenities and carefree lifestyles. At Villages of Seloy, you can experience a new concept in First Coast homeownership – luxurious, ranch-style condominiums boasting all of the comforts of traditional, single-family homes, elevated by meticulous attention to even the smallest detail.

Developed by Retirement Corporation of America – Florida, Inc. (RC of A), Villages of Seloy offers condominium living that makes life much more comfortable and satisfying. Located just minutes to the heart of historic St. Augustine, the planned community will showcase homes marked by Old World elegance with a modern twist of architectural innovation.

“With generous two-car garages and no flights of stairs to climb, our condominiums definitely stand apart from the others,” said Dane Cates, president of Retirement Corporation of America – Florida, Inc. “Most multi-family neighborhoods consist of either two-story residential buildings or two-story homes. In either case, homeowners must climb stairs. Villages of Seloy is a low-density community with ground-level homes that maximize personal convenience and enjoyment. It’s an outstanding choice for those who do not wish to make that climb.”

With award-winning architect Frank Betz on board, gated Villages of Seloy is a must-see community perfect for downsizing without compromise. RC of A offers homebuyers four spacious home styles remarkably priced from the high $200s. Condominiums range in size from 1,520 to 1,875 square feet and feature two or three bedrooms and two baths.

All residential buildings will be arranged in the unique “pinwheel” design for which RC of A is well known. With only one shared wall per structure, this unique layout serves to maximize owner privacy. Each of the buildings’ four condominiums will be positioned as an end und, with beautiful cultured stone and stucco exteriors.

Interior appointments will include: a generous ceiling; gourmet open kitchen with center island (in select homes): modern GE appliance package, Corian® countertops, and custom cabinetry with under cabinet lighting; a spacious family and dining room combination; cozy den (per plan); spacious bedrooms; luxurious decorator baths; plenty of closet and storage space; skylights in the kitchen and master bath; and a charming sunroom and private patio. A selection of builder upgrades also is available.

Villages of Seloy residents also will enjoy an impressive amenities package, including: a stylishly decorated Clubhouse featuring a catering kitchen, fitness center, billiard room, card room, library and multi-purpose room; a sparkling pool and inviting sundeck.

Ideally located east of I-95 on State Road 16, Villages of Seloy is just minutes to the many exciting venues of historic St. Augustine and World Golf Village. A sandy beach lends itself to a wealth of fun in the sun and surf. IMAX Theater, championship golf, water sports, winery tours, dining and dancing, luxurious spa services and eclectic shopping are just a small selection of the incredible activities available within St. Johns County.

“Villages of Seloy is perfect for anyone wanting to enjoy a carefree, low maintenance lifestyle that allows plenty of time to pursue personal interests,” said Penny Levy, sales and marketing director for Villa Realty. “Our condominiums have all of the comforts of a luxury home, with no one living above or below you. We are very pleased with the warm reception we have received in St. Johns County, and we are very excited with the increasing level of interest in this new community. We invite home shoppers to come by our sales center and see for themselves what makes Villages of Seloy so special. Our door is always open.”
