Champions’ Club model earns top parade honors

May 28, 2009

TRINITY, FLA. – Campagna Homes earned a grand award for its estate model home in The Champions’ Club during the recent 2009 Tampa Bay Parade of Homes , sponsored by the Tampa Bay Builders Association.

This latest accolade joins a long list of Parade-of-Homes honors racked up by builders at The Champions’ Club, which has been honored every year since it opened, says Dan Aldridge, vice president of community developer Adam Smith Enterprises Inc.

Campagna Homes’ grand award was earned by its green-certified Villa Sorrento estate model home in the village of Florencia for the category of single-family homes priced $1.7 million-$2.2 million.

The 5,763-square-foot estate offers views of a lake and three fairways of the Fox Hollow Golf Course, while providing five bedrooms and 5.5 baths.  The home’s two-story, 20-foot-diameter rotunda foyer – accented by plaster crown moldings, maple beams and ceiling panels – boasts a spiral staircase with stained-oak treads and wrought-iron railings.  The home also has an elevator.

More than half of this community’s 368 homesites border the golf course, while many others overlook nearly 45 acres of lakes, or heavily wooded conservation areas.

The Champions’ Club comprises seven Mediterranean-themed villages.  Homes in some villages must provide at least 2,850 square feet of living space, while other villages require homes with a minimum of 3,800 square feet of living space. Residential pricing  ranges from the $700s to more than $3 million including homesite.

The Champions’ Club adjoins the $1.5 billion master-planned community of Trinity, one of the largest communities of its kind in the Tampa Bay area.  Trinity also is being developed by Adam Smith Enterprises.
