The Villas at Augustine Island in Palencia Wins Coveted AURORA Award
Trident Realty’s Cordova model show home at Augustine Island in Palencia won for Best Interior Design. Over $1 Million at the 2008 AURORA Awards during the 2008 Southeast Building Conference in Orlando.
Making it even more impressive is the fact that the nationally recognized AURORA Awards honors builders, designers, architects and other home building industry professionals in 12 states from Texas to Virginia and Florida Coast.
And this was the fourth consecutive year that Merchandising Plus won an AURORA for the best condominium model in the Southeast United States.
The model created excitement through details and colors throughout this five-diamond condominium resort show home. This amazing three-story condo home is a delight. If you wish to bypass the iron detailed staircase, then pamper yourself in the raffia-lined artful filled elevator. A sophisticated color mix of Asian reds, apple greens, and sunrise hues backdrop the finely detailed furnishings, accessories and art throughout.
The Cordova at the Villas of Augustine Island was designed in detail from the lush landscaping on both private and common grounds to the lighthouse entrance feature to guide you on your way home. Choose from two- and three-story home plans offering the latest in home design as well as spectacular views of the surrounding lakes or over the first fairway and practice range of the spectacular Palencia championship golf course.
“The Cordova is a testament to the vision and talent the Merchandising Plus team brings to every project,” said Wayne Schneiner, senior vice president of Trident Realty.
There is a beautiful collection of fine furnishings, accessories, art, and custom-fabricated window and bed treatments that give great form and function to this real family home. This stunning architecturally, detailed home is exquisitely dressed and needs to be seen to be appreciated.
The Villas of Augustine Island is located on Palencia’s private island, secluded in the natural beauty of coastal dunes and 200-year-old maritime oak trees. Situated in northern St. Johns County on the west bank of the Tolomato River, Palencia encompasses 2,350 acres. From condominiums to townhomes to million dollar estate lots, Palencia offers a large variety of homes, some on the golf course and others with wooded views or marsh vistas.
