7 Upgrade Options Buyers May Consider
New home buyers may move right in to a new condo at Casa di Fiori without adding any upgrades since the home already includes all appliances, has finished floors, basic lighting and painted walls. However, there is an opportunity for the buyer to enhance and personalize the new home with these great upgrades:
- Because our homes are move-in ready, we have already painted the walls with Sherwin Williams Dover white, however, the buyer may upgrade with custom color on the walls if they wish.

- One of our most popular upgrades is the fan and lighting package which may be installed before closing and includes fans with attached lighting installed in the living room, bedrooms/den, lanai and a dining room chandelier.

Building Confidence from the Ground Up
It’s not surprising that upon first look at Casa di Fiori’s move-in ready condo homes, potential buyers initially focus on the floor plan, location and views, or features such as the color of kitchen cabinets and flooring.
However, more often than not, we encounter astute buyers who want to learn more about the structural aspects of the building, functional equipment and if we offer a builder warranty.
The developer at Casa di Fiori takes pride in building beautiful and sound condominium homes. Our two-story buildings are crafted from concrete block with steel frame interior walls. The detached garage buildings are crafted from the same materials.
Precast concrete planking is used to separate the first and second floors which helps to limit sound transfer between floors.

With solid construction and mechanical systems, Casa di Fiori confidently offers a builder’s warranty.
