Brylen Homes' New Charleston Leads 2005 Parade of Homes

May 11, 2005 -- Brylen Homes' 2005 Parade of Homes entry, The Charleston, embraces southern style and charm and is located in the beautiful community of Amelia Park, situated on picturesque Amelia Island.

The Charleston features numerous outdoor porches, sparkling blue pool with water features, and airy open design. The epitome of relaxed Florida living, this graciously designed two story, three bedroom side-yard home features a main entry on the west wall of the residence with a first floor porch accessible through a "faux-main door" that faces the street.

This style of porch, reminiscent of historic Charleston residences, lends a touch of southern allure to this modern estate. The spacious family/leisure room opens to a well-lit kitchen and cozy breakfast nook, creating a casual flow that ties all three areas together.

A grand fireplace, which serves as the main room's primary focal point, is flanked by two-inch tumbled niche mosaics and crowned with a plasma screen television. Ginger maple cabinetry, Italian granite, recessed lighting, and ceramic tile flooring are used throughout the home.

The large owner's suite with walk-in closet, sitting area, and master bath features a garden tub and his and her marble vanities. A unique bonus loft offers an adjacent second floor veranda and seating area. Two guest bedrooms with Jack & Jill bath. Exterior hot/cold Moen pool shower and 2-car garage.

Priced at $555,730, The Charleston matches the quaint lifestyle offered in Amelia Park and nearby Fernandina Beach. Amelia Park was created to celebrate the values of a time gone by while still providing the services needed for today's active lifestyles.

Amelia Park is a neighborhood where walking can accomplish daily activities that might require a drive elsewhere - shopping, school, church, childcare, recreation are all close by. As are some of the finest new recreation and fitness facilities that can be found anywhere as well as being close to the soothing breezes and soft shoreline of the Atlantic. All of this makes Amelia Park special and The Charleston worth seeing.

The 2005 Parade of Homes runs from May 14-21.

To visit Amelia Park and see The Charleston from Brylen Homes, take I-95, then east on A1A (exit #373). Turn right onto Sadler Road, and then left on Citrona Drive. Take a left onto Park Avenue, and then turn left onto Lake Park Drive.
