Here it is-trimmed to fit, nothing important cut, just tightened where the prose had room to give: FULL EXTENDED DESCRIPTION Before Olympia, There Was Dirt I used to ride dirt bikes through what is now Olympia. Thats not nostalgia-thats context. Before Minto broke ground in 2002, that stretch of land south of Forest Hill Boulevard was wide open. Wellington was already growing, but nothing at this scale had been attempted here. When Minto announced they were going to build nearly 1,800 homes on 832 acres in the heart of Wellington, people paid attention. This was going to be the largest master-planned residential development Wellington had ever seen. They built it over twelve years. Finished the last home-the Aviano model-in 2014. Seventeen villages. Four model collections. Fifty-plus floor plans. And they didnt just build houses-they built a community with the infrastructure to match. Equestrian Trails Elementary sits right at the edge of Olympia on Stribling Way, ranked #27 in the state of Florida, 10 out of 10 on GreatSchools. Emerald Cove Middle is right behind it. These schools werent placed nearby as a coincidence-they were part of the plan. Wellington built to serve the families that were going to live here. When a community is large enough that the school district builds a school specifically to serve it, youre not buying a house. Youre buying into infrastructure designed with permanence in mind. A Mediterranean Home Built to Be the One Ive been inside over 100 homes in Olympia. I know this model. Ive walked it in multiple villages over the years. None of them looked like this. Luxury homes in Olympia Wellington rarely feature this level of custom interior work-and whoever built 9041 Alexandra Circle decided early on that it was going to be the exception. Venetian plaster walls throughout-that warm, aged, layered texture that no production builder bothers with. Dark walnut millwork running through every room: crown molding, wainscoting, window casings, door surrounds. All matching. All custom. The staircase anchors the entry-wrought iron with scroll and leaf ironwork balusters, wood handrail, the kind of piece you build once and never replace. Arched doorways and architectural niches carry the Mediterranean language from room to room. The exterior delivers the same promise: barrel tile roof, arched entry, brick paver driveway, mature palms. But the outside is just the preview. The interior is where the investment shows. This is not a house decorated to look Mediterranean. It was built that way from the walls out. The Kitchen The kitchen photograph will stop buyers mid-scroll. Full custom cabinetry in a warm honey tone with dark glaze detailing, glass-front uppers, carved rope crown molding across every run. Granite countertops. Center island. A coffered octagonal tray ceiling with recessed lighting. And in the center of the cooking wall-a hand-carved custom wood range hood. Not an insert, not a decorative box. A carved range hood that looks like it belongs in a kitchen in Tuscany. Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator, double wall ovens, built-in microwave. This kitchen was built to cook in and to be seen in equal measure. The Living Spaces The floor plan gives you formal and informal living on the main level, connected t
