This 11,000 square foot home, named “Serendipity,” is located in Ponte Vedra Beach and was designed to utilize the latest energy efficient technologies and green building features while incorporating historical architectural design elements. Inspired by Italian Renaissance architect, Andrea Palladio, the classically designed home pays homage to the basic principles of proportion, axiality and symmetry to create order, harmony and balance in an elegant and comfortable setting.

Aurora partnered with the owners to create a home that embodies their desire for energy conservation and efficiency, as well as their love for history, architecture and travel. The result of our combined efforts is an inviting European country-style home that lends itself to hosting both large-scale gatherings and long-term family guests.

Serendipity’s spectacular design includes a main house, with flanking north and south guest houses, each with their own double garages. The balance of the property is enhanced by lagoon-to-golf views and is highlighted by lush landscaping, a brick paved herb garden and a palm tree-lined private retreat with intimate seating around an outdoor fireplace and European fountain. Tuscan-inspired gardens and dining pavilions, surrounded by cast stone columns, flank a disappearing edge swimming pool and waterfall that empties to a manicured lower lawn. Adjacent to the lawn is a serpentine boardwalk, fishing pier and canoe launch.
