ICI Homes was honored with an Excel Award for design excellence. Presented by the Florida Home Builders Association at the Southeast Building Conference (SEBC) in Orlando, ICI Homes received an Excel Award for Best Interior Merchandising of a Model Home ($300,001 to $500,000 category) for the Shenandoah model in Westlake at FishHawk Ranch.

“We are genuinely honored to receive this recognition from the Excel Awards’ judges and our industry peers,” said Rosemary Messina, Vice President of Marketing, ICI Homes. “Our Shenandoah model in Westlake at FishHawk Ranch reflects the exceptional quality and style that defines every home built by ICI Homes.”

The Shenandoah in Westlake at FishHawk Ranch is a nearly 6,000-square-foot, two story home with five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. The home celebrates traditional and modern architectural styles with a rustic-lodge flair. The Shenandoah features tall glass windows, multi-tiered decks and a second story back porch overlooking a babbling brook.

Inside, designer features include a casual, open family room with soaring ceiling, an expansive farmer’s kitchen and a luxurious owner’s suite with a European bath. In this home, man’s best friend has a well-appointed living area with a dog cottage under the staircase and a pet-friendly shower.
