ICI Homes Continues To Actively Grow 

February 21, 2023 By Special to The Laker/Lutz News

ICI Homes, one of Florida’s best known and most prestigious homebuilders, continues to see a lot of happy residents moving into its four residential communities.

“We’re looking forward to bringing in a whole new collection of ICI Homes family members this year,” says Greg Jones, Tampa division manager for ICI Homes.

Here are the current updates and future developments of the communities ICI Homes works with here in Pasco County.

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE LAKE JOVITA
Lake Jovita — an established, master-planned community located just north of Tampa in Dade City — is flourishing with great success. The community is close to being 75% sold out. 

“The beauty of Lake Jovita is the lots are big, there’s plenty of space between neighbors and the elevation changes in the community,” says Jones. “It’s a very unique area of Florida. It really does feel like North Carolina with the 250 feet elevation changes.”

There currently are two move-in ready homes available — The Charlotte and Costa Mesa. 

The Charlotte is reminiscent of a quaint cottage with its highly pitched roof. The floor plan is designed for optimal convenience, allowing owners to enter through a mudroom area attached to the garage. The walk-in pantry is just steps away from the mudroom, making bringing in the groceries an easy chore. From there, enter the kitchen and open living and dining areas, perfect for entertaining or spending time with the family. This home features a rear master suite for owners to retreat to for privacy, at the end of the day.

The Costa Mesa is one of ICI Home’s most popular floor plans, coming in at over 2,500 square feet. This open floor plan allows for the living room, gourmet kitchen and dining room to be one expansive space sharing plenty of natural Florida sunlight. A cup of coffee can be enjoyed on the covered lanai. The master suite is situated at the rear of the home, featuring a large walk-in closet, double vanities and a roomy walk-in shower. 

SECOND PHASE IN BEXLEY OFF TO GREAT START
Sales are already coming with the recent opening of Phase Two of Bexley, a planned community embracing a natural setting in Land O’ Lakes.

The second phase features 32 homesites that are a short walk to Bexley’s premier amenity center, which features a resort-style pool, game room, well-equipped fitness room, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and a community cafe.

There are two inventory homes — the Primrose and the Lantana — currently under construction that will soon be available to purchase and ready to move into by April. A model center — which will feature a Primrose transitional floor plan —will also be open at that time, as well. 

The Lantana’s floor plan, which is nearly 1,800 square feet, boasts 12-foot-high ceilings throughout, with several transom windows to allow the beauty of the Florida sunlight to brighten rooms. A great selling feature of this floor plan is its outdoor, covered lanai that provides ample space for relaxation.

The Primrose is a two-story plan featuring nearly 2,500 square feet of living space, with a master bedroom suite on the main level, along with one guest bedroom and bathroom. The spacious living area is connected to a beautiful kitchen and dining area, with plenty of gathering room. The second story includes two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a bonus room.

CONNERTON ALMOST SOLD OUT
Rose Pointe at Connerton — Pasco County’s largest, master-planned, mixed-use community — is almost sold out. One inventory home —  The Egret  — will be available for purchase and is move-in ready.

The Egret has more than 3,000 square feet in space. As owners walk into the home, they’re greeted by a large dining room on one side and a flex room on the other. The gathering room is the heart of this home and includes a luxurious gourmet kitchen with nook. The master suite features plenty of privacy, as well as large his and hers walk-in closets and a spacious bath with separate vanities. Two guest bedrooms and a bathroom on the other side of the home allow enough space for everyone. A functional utility/laundry room is nearby the two-car garage for all your storage needs, with an option for a three-car garage.

LOTS OF ACTIVITY AT PERSIMMON PARK
Located in Wesley Chapel by The Shops at Wiregrass, all Persimmon Park homes have open floor plans with front porches, and garages and alleys at the back of the home.

ICI has two model homes — The Primrose and The Lantana — up for sale with a lease-back opportunity. There also are two move-in ready homes, the Primrose and the Lily, that will be available by April.

The Lily is just under 1,900 square feet and has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It has an open floor plan concept. The master suite is privately located in the back of the home and features a large walk-in closet and spacious bath.

ICI Homes model homes are open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday; and noon to 6 p.m., on Sunday. The Persimmon Park model is at 3793 Lajuana Blvd., Wesley Chapel; the Lake Jovita Sales Center is at 12330 Lake Jovita Blvd., in Dade City; and the Asturia model is at 2112 Secret Cove in Odessa. To schedule a VIP appointment, call 844-349-6401, or email Greg Jones at .
