Lee Wetherington Homes, a top rated, privately owned custom luxury home builder in Sarasota, recently broke ground on the Coquina, a new model home at Shellstone in Waterside at Lakewood Ranch. The 3,083-square-foot, single-story home features three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a den and bonus room, pool and expansive outdoor living areas. Coquina offers a fresh interpretation of Spanish Revival and Modern Mediterranean design, with an earthy luxe aesthetic that layers rich wood tones, natural stone, mixed metals and patterned tile against a warm, largely monochromatic palette. Distinctive architectural details will include a custom arched iron pivot door, wrought-iron accents, vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams and a dramatic stone fireplace. Throughout the home, mosaic tile focal points, antique mirror accents and organic textures will add character while maintaining a rich, curated feel.
