Welcome to Tuscan Harmony. A unique 4,655 square foot, 5-bedroom home located in the environmentally aware town of Harmony, Florida (near St. Cloud). It’s unique design was the result of a collaboration between the owners and the Orlando-based firm of B+A Design. The result incorporates a myriad of state-of-the-art features within a home constructed along traditional warm-climate lines. Tuscan Harmony may be purchased for $1,695,000, fully furnished. Please contact Doug Nelson at doug@mdxperts.com for more information , or to arrange a visit.From the moment you enter Tuscan Harmony, it is clear that this is no ordinary home. A step through the front door deposits you into a remarkable 2-story cylindrical space, filled with light and elegant architectural detail. A look ahead into the living room allows your gaze to travel into the large central courtyard, where light sparkles off the pool’s surface. Stepping closer to examine the custom ironwork of the staircase railing, your eye is led up to unique wrought-iron chandelier, and what appears to be a circular skylight created by a trompe l’oeil sky. The circular designs in this area’s travertine marble floor compliment the architectural design as well. Tuscan Harmony’s courtyard lets one enjoy both shade and sun, surrounded by the sound of fountains gently splashing into the naturally curved pool. Privacy for the pool and spa is provided by the wings of the residence, which wrap around the courtyard. The courtyard’s expansive space feels completely integrated with the home’s interior, thanks to the many doors and windows which connect these spaces. The courtyard may be entered from the family and living rooms, office, master bedroom, and guest suite. Fresh air and diffused sunlight pass freely into all living areas. A second-story balcony opens into the space as well. Tuscan Harmony’s kitchen was designed for pleasurable ease of use. This open and well-lit area is integrated at one end with the family great room, and the formal dining room at the other. Its flexible design allows one to create meals as simple as popcorn for one, or Thanksgiving dinner for 16. No expense was spared to make Tuscan Harmony’s kitchen as well designed and luxurious as the home’s other living spaces. Top of the line Thermadore appliances provide restaurant-quality cooking capabilities, and granite countertops provide beauty and durability. A Butler’s Pantry contains a separate dishwasher and additional storage space. An accessory bar sink and a wine cellar with traditional vaulted ceiling complete the kitchen’s thoughtful design. A fully equipped outdoor summer kitchen and bar equipped with a grill, icemaker, and refrigerator is tastefully integrated into the courtyard. A bathroom off the courtyard allows guests to change for swimming. Harmony is an 11,000 acre conservation community located 25 minutes from Orlando International Airport. Additional information about the town, it’s schools, and other amenities is available at www.harmonyfl.com. Within the town, Tuscan Harmony is located in a prime corner lot across from public space containing:  a K-8 public school  play fountains and covered pavilions  the gated entrance to Buck Lake Tuscan Harmony’s is located a few blocks from the Golf Preserve. The only Johnny Miller-designed golf course in Central Florida, the Preserve offers a challenging game to players of all skill levels - a 7,428 yard, 18-hole signature course, free of forced curves and arrayed carefully with bunkers, hazards and manicured Bermuda grass greens.
