AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. -- Amelia National Golf & Country Club, a Fernandina Beach community built and developed by ICI Homes, recently announced the opening of its newest model home, the Egret II.

ICI Homes called on Jacksonville, Fla. based Rita Williams' Merchandising Plus to reflect lifestyle in Amelia National's latest model home in this historic setting.

“A grand dream home that sparked immediate sales in our once again active market place.  This showhome has enticed back second home destination, retirement and the empty nester’s buyer,” Williams said of the Egret II.

Upon entering the foyer you are met with a fantasy décor of artful barefoot elegance. Immediately bring the outside within this open Grand Living, Dining and Theatre Kitchen floorplan.

"Our goal was to make every prospective buyer instantly excited to have the Egret II as their new home. Our marketing and design themes are created to make all the spaces live large, function for everyday living and "Wow" everyone who entered," Williams noted.

It is fun, functional and makes you feel like you’re found your paradise. The entire Grand living area opens on the lakeside lanai and outdoor kitchen retreat.

A stunning study/den with a grand circular curved window scape unfolds stories throughout of the love of the travel and coastal lifestyle. Open double doors to the private study makes a great extension for extra entertainment space. 

"If you work from home or enjoy working in a dedicated work space, you may prefer a quaint study located steps. The grand foyer is flanked by a large dining room and private study and the grand room features a coffered ceiling," she said.

Explore the home’s personality with its unique architectural detailing, furnishings, and artwork and lifestyle accessories. Our fantasy family, almost empty nesters, with their teenage son soon off to college to study marine biology, as you can see through coastal ambiance.

"The great room is the heart of the home and a convenient space to host large group or an intimate gatherings. The beautiful gourmet kitchen has easy access to the dining room and offers a nice view out to the lanai," said Williams.

The flexible spaces designed within include a private grant master and bath that has grand windows and door opening to the spectacular views.

All bedrooms were thoughtfully designed for privacy and with resort comfort. The owner’s suite includes a large sitting room area, his and her walk-in closets and a sumptuous bath with both roman tub and roman shower area.
