Smart homes

The Enclave of Distinction shows how smart a home can be by including advanced security systems, fiber optic cable and the highest internet speed available in a residential community.

A fiber optic conversion station and a swimming pool alert system are just two of the smart home features at Enclave of Distinction. Naples interior designer Molly Hoover decorated an exquisite model to show what life can be like living in the exclusive new Enclave of Distinction. Tucked away on Livingston Road in North Naples is a development of only 27 smart homes designed by Naples architects Stofft Cooney and built by one of Southwest Florida’s most reliable homebuilders, Distinctive Communities™.

Experienced home builders, the team at Distinctive Communities™ works closely with Realtors, so they know the hot buttons that excite their buyers. For starters, the quiet secluded Enclave of Distinction offers an alternative for buyers who want the exclusivity of a high-end community, without all the recreational options and the enormous membership or association fees that accompany them. Current fees are a mere $322 per month and cover common landscape areas, the fountains, lake and irrigation, administrative fees, basic cable and fiber optic high speed internet, as well as upkeep of the decorative concrete pavers that line every street throughout the development.

For families with little ones in the home or visiting, the assurance that every door or window that opens to the pool is hardwired to an alert system is priceless. The pool can be controlled by a cell phone ap from Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems to help homeowners monitor the water temperature and quality remotely.

Fiber optic cable serves as the backbone for all of the community’s communications services. A cable contract is already secured with the fastest and most efficient internet speed available for a residential community, provided by Hotwire® Communications.

Security starts at the gatehouse made of special reinforced materials, making it much more secure than traditional lift arms. It will function as a live monitored entrance or a fully automated guardless entry 24 hours a day. Homes at The Enclave of Distinction are pre-wired for internal security, lights, cameras and sound systems, as well as two wireless access points. All of this is controlled remotely by cell phone aps.

Interested Realtors have impressed their clients with the model’s soaring 16-foot ceiling and numerous oversized windows and 11 1/2-foot ceiling heights through the rest of the home. The Sanctuary model, now sold and awaiting its new residents, conveys a feeling of spacious luxury. Luxury tile flooring is included with the design package and wood floors are an upgrade. Hoover used deep mahogany wood floors leading from the entrance to the kitchen, living room, and hallways. Features not commonly found in Florida homes and the mudroom, walk-in pantry and air-conditioned storage under the stairway.

“Floor plans at The Enclave of Distinction open up so beautifully to an outdoor living room and pool,” says Hoover. “The kitchen looks out to the lanai and takes in the view of the lake or a lush personal garden.”

Seven unique three, four, or five-bedroom floor plans can be tailored and range from 3,200 to 5,200 square feet on one-third or one-half acre lots. All homes have three-car garages and private pools. Starting at $1.9 million, the home exteriors feature upgraded stucco, awnings, flat tile concrete roofs, lush landscaping and automatic irrigation, high impact windows and French doors that meet current Florida wind codes and brick pavers around the swimming pool, in the driveway and on all the streets throughout the entire development. Distinctive Communities’ quality building practices are evident in the standard oversized bedrooms and baths. The builder uses the highest quality materials, including Crystal cabinets and Viking appliances, granite or quartz countertops, wood dowel closet shelves and the lovely touch of a freestanding tub in the master bath. Solid core doors are eight feet high with four hinges, exhibiting the craftsmanship and extras many would overlook.
