One of the many wonderful features of this home is the massive wrap around porch.

Lot 42 in Portofino,Clayton was just cleared for a new home to be built by Art Kirkwood with Kirkwood Builders. The buyers of this home are from New Jersey and looked at a few neighborhoods before realizing that Portofino had everything they desired, namely, large wooded private lots, beautiful amenities like the beach entry pool, the piazza at the clubhouse and the many miles of nature trails. This is another new floor plan that came about as a result of the buyers and builder getting together and coming up with a custom built home.

In the Churchill section of Portofino, there are 3 pre-sales about to be started, JordanBuilt Homes is the very successful builder who is building beautiful custom homes on wonderful private lots. JordanBuilt built three homes to start and we have already sold two, and we have two more spec homes about to be started.
