Windsor Overdose

This is a follow up post to my last post about Windsor. All of the following homes are currently for sale and range in price from $1,495,000 to $ 14,000,000. I have mixed up the photos - exterior, pools, interiors, and more exteriors. For more information on any of these properties, visit the Windsor website here.
Exteriors...






















































Pools...

Every home has one thing in common - a strong sense of privacy.





















































































Interiors... Some of these rooms have been featured in major magazines. Recognize any?
This bedroom is so serene. Love the bed...












What a gorgeous tub!































































I like the dark walls in this bedroom. Navy, white, and a touch of Hermes orange.































Lovely lantern.











































Pretty kitchen.

















Another view.



































Check out this bathroom. Love the stand alone tub, the green tile, and all the marble.














Another beautiful new kitchen. Even the ceiling is beautifully detailed.


























































WOW!!!



Outdoor spaces...



























There is a purpose to having blue ceilings on porches and patios. It keeps the dirt daubers away!


























This pool has a lawn chair ledge. The chairs are actually sitting in the water. How refreshing!
















A darker blue ceiling...

















I like this pool. It's like a lagoon. I like how it is built right up to the house.




















A boardwalk to the beach...


Next time, I'll stalk another neighborhood. Have a great weekend!

Windsor Home for Sale

The village of Windsor is one of my favorite communities in the Vero Beach area. It is located on the barrier island between the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean. The village offers a beautiful club facility, golfing, polo, stables, a playground, an art gallery, fitness facilities and even a beautiful church.

Most of the homes were built as winter homes for "snowbirds" from all over the United States, Canada, Europe, and South America. The home that is featured in this post was designed by Hugh Newell Jacobsen and built in 1996. The home is 10,708 square feet and features 5 bedrooms and 6 full baths and 3 powder rooms. It is listed at $7,700,000. It was built to maximize breezes and keep air circulating with its many full size windows.

The front of the home definitely has a beach-y feel to it.

Isn't it neat how the windows open right out to the pool?
Dining room...

While it is not exactly my taste, it does appeal to me because the decorating is very simple and un-fussy. I can see how it would be very relaxing as a vacation home.
I love the blue ceiling in this hallway. It looks like a pool of water overhead. The ceiling in this room is also very beautiful.

This appears to be an outdoor lounge area. Is there glass above the wooden ceiling or is it open?

Looks like the formal living room...


Aahh - so this is the room that opens out into the pool! How cool!

Another long hallway with a beautiful blue ceiling. It looks kind of shiny. Could it be Venetian plaster?

Too bad these were all the photos that were posted on the listing. I would love to see the kitchen, the bedrooms, and the bathrooms!
