Interior Design Spotlight: Homeowners Find Their Coastal Retreat at the Pembrook Model in The Founders Club

Written by Arelys Alexander | May 28, 2020

Romanza Interior Design recently discovered that the Coastal Dream home designed by Luann Powers Gliwski at The Founders Club has sold.  Turns out, the soothing tones of beach-inspired elegance were the perfect escape for the lucky homeowners.

The Pembrook at The Founders Club Community in Sarasota, FL is a beautiful 3,560-square-foot home featuring three bedrooms and four bathrooms and a wraparound alfresco space overlooking the golf course.  The open floor plan emphasizes the importance of flow in a home with connections among the great room, luxury kitchen, and dining room.  Romanza Interior Design brought out the home’s open space with soft neutral backdrops of alabaster and dove gray accented by slate gray and jewel tones. A variety of wood finishes mix with gleaming nickel, chrome, and mirrored surfaces to add an extra bit of elegance to the design.  The main living space also features crown molding and tray ceilings that add a sophisticated style to the great room, dining room, and kitchen, while hand-scraped and wire-brushed oak flooring in a gray mist finish complements the cool, elegant color palette. A horizontal board and batten treatment with an alabaster semi-gloss painted finish accents the great room media wall.

The gourmet-inspired luxury kitchen features a six-burner cooktop, a built-in microwave and oven tower, and a large freestanding island breakfast bar topped with Pompeii Quartz White Mist countertops, where you can enjoy a nice cup of coffee while reading the news or finishing up a crossword puzzle.  The breakfast bar can also serve as a prime location for grandchildren while they color to the hearts’ content waiting on a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies. Luann opted for alabaster painted cabinetry with recessed paneled doors and a brick-pattern stone mosaic backsplash in shades of white, gray, and charcoal to tie in the rest of the design.

Retiring to your master bedroom in the evening will bring you to a spa-like retreat with two walk-in closets, an Imperial Stone floor, freestanding tub, a custom dove gray-finished, recessed paneled door vanity with dual sinks and Pompeii Quartz White Mist counters, and a double-entry shower with only partial walls on either side.  On mornings when the breeze feels just right you can step outside to your sun deck through sliding glass doors found in the master bedroom.  Guests will also feel comfortable in the home’s two guest suites with private full bathrooms and walk-in closets. 

The golf course home’s outdoor spaces extend past the master bedroom’s sundeck with a covered terrace just outside of the great room and access to the wraparound outdoor living area through the bonus room’s zero-corner pocket sliders.  Follow the wraparound alfresco space and you will arrive at the luxury home’s outdoor kitchen and dining area, which will be thoughtfully prepared to make any backyard barbecue a hit.  These outdoor living spaces are enhanced with the luxury home builder’s custom pool and spa, featuring a silver pearl interior accented with a Lunada Bay glass mosaic waterline blue and green tiles, and scattered outdoor seating areas, all overlooking the sweeping views of the Robert Trent Jones, Jr. golf course.
