Submitted Senecas north and south facing lakefront homesites feature water and double or triple fairway views. The neighborhood will feature residences ranging from 3,200 to 5,000 square feet. Custom home and lot packages are priced from $1.6 to $2.2 million.

Talis Park has introduced Seneca, a new neighborhood that will showcase 43 luxury residences offering the North Naples communitys hallmark In the Park living experience.

Wrapped by the Sea Dwarf paspalum vistas of Talis Parks Greg Norman-Pete Dye designed golf course, Senecas north and south facing lakefront homesites feature water and double or triple fairway views. Priced from the high $400s to $700,000, each of these sites is 190 to 200 feet deep, 77 to 100 feet wide, and will accommodate residences ranging from 3,200 to 5,000 square feet. Custom home and lot packages in Seneca are priced from $1.6 to $2.2 million.

Talis Parks neighborhoods offer the choice of living in a parklike setting or within walking distance of Talis Parks Grand Piazza. This In the Park or In the Village approach reflects developer Kitson & Partners commitment to creating a New Fashioned community where every aspect is relevant to the residents daily lives. Kitson has brought an energized spirit to Talis Park by introducing a lifestyle that is more focused on personal health and well-being, more attuned to family and friends, and more conscious of long-term value and legacy.

In addition to its parklike ambiance, Seneca is within a short walk or bike ride of Talis Parks Grand Piazza, the home of the communitys New Fashioned Vyne House clubhouse and the Great Lawn. Seneca residents will have immediate access to Fionas Market Caf, the Core Fitness Center, and the Esprit Spa, each of which is located at Vyne House. Fionas serves fresh, local fare, wine selections, bar service and other useful daily items.

Kitson has announced it is moving forward with the construction of Vyne House Phase II. Vertical construction is scheduled to begin fourth quarter 2014. Kitson anticipates holding a soft opening of Phase II in December 2015 and a grand opening in January 2016. The combination of Senecas parklike setting and easy access to Talis Parks amenity core will offer a living experience that takes full advantage of all the community offers.

One cornerstone of Kitsons vision for Talis Park is the notion that design matters. As is the case in the communitys other seven neighborhoods, Seneca will offer all-new designs in a refreshing palette of Spanish Eclectic, Italian Renaissance, and Colonial Caribbean architectural styles.

The Seneca residences will be built by four of Southwest Floridas luxury homebuilders, including McGarvey Custom Homes, Fox Custom Builders, Harbourside Custom Homes and Gulfshore Homes. Each participating builder will begin construction of a furnished Seneca model within the next 30 to 60 days. Harbourside Custom Homes will also begin construction of an unfurnished Resident Ready residence.

In addition to its belief that designs matters, Kitson also believes that choice matters. Seneca joins Talis Parks other seven neighborhoods to provide a diverse array of residential choices.

ABERDEEN Last October, Krista Harvell thought she was attending a military appreciation event on the Pinecrest High School football field.

Instead, the Golden Knights jumped into the field and handed her blueprints to a new house being built just for her and her two young sons.

"It was a shock to say the least," she said.

The home is courtesy of the Moore County chapter of Operation Finally Home, a group that provides custom-made mortgage-free homes to wounded and disabled veterans and the widows of the fallen, and the Moore County Home Builders Association.

Harvell's husband, Staff Sgt. Andrew Harvell, was killed Aug. 6, 2011, when a CH-74 Chinook helicopter he was aboard was shot down by the Taliban in Afghanistan. He was a combat controller for the 24th Special Tactics Squadron, an Air Force Special Operations Command unit based at Pope Field.

The $350,000 home - about three miles from where the Harvells lived in Southern Pines - also is a product of the Moore County community. Almost all the money to build the home has been raised through fundraisers, donated supplies and labor, not to mention dozens of volunteers and the cooperation of a group of normally competitive builders.

Only $30,000 remains to be raised to complete the 2,600-square-foot home.

Harvell said the home, which is expected to be finished by next month, exceeds her expectations.

"If I designed it myself, it wouldn't be this great," she said.

Krista and Andrew Harvell met in 2006 when she was visiting her brother, Tom Klonk, who served in the same unit. They started dating the next year, a week after she moved to Moore County following her graduation from Ohio State University.
