Revel in elegance of ‘Enclave at the Reserve’ home

BY SHELLEY KOPPEL | Columnist
[email protected]

The elegant and comfortable courtyard
estate home at 9600 Enclave Place in En-
clave at the Reserve in PGA Village is im-
pressive from the moment you approach it,
with its long drive and lush landscaping that
includes mature trees and expanses of lawn.
The tremendous curb appeal of the house is
matched by the distinctive features inside,
from the marble floors and volume ceilings
to the custom lighting fixtures and window
treatments.

There is a formal living room, a spacious
19 feet by 18 feet, with a stunning fireplace
that is the focal point of the room. The for-
mal dining room is 12-by-18, and you can
easily see yourself entertaining family and
friends on special occasions. The kitch-
en is really the heart of this home. At 13-
by-18, there is plenty of room for the chef
and helper to move around and both will
enjoy a cook’s kitchen with double ovens,
gas cook top, center island, stainless-steel
appliances, and granite countertops with
miles of cabinetry. It is adjacent to the fam-
ily room, a generous 19-by-21 with views of
the courtyard beyond. There is a large office
(21-by-17) with a bath that could easily be
converted back to a fifth bedroom, should
you need it.

The master suite is absolutely gorgeous.
The master bedroom is an abundant 21-by-

for an early-morning dip and then stepping
into the new master bath, a symphony in
black and white. It is so dramatic and strik-
ing! There are dual vanities, a Roman spa
tub and a shower that you could luxuriate
in, rinse off and get ready for your day. Up-
stairs, there are additional private quarters
with two ensuite bedrooms and the court-
yard has a guest cottage with bath. There is
lots of room for guests or for an aging parent
who still wants some privacy. The number
and configuration of the rooms makes it
possible to envision a variety of living ar-
rangements that can change over time as
needs change.

DO NOT MATCH A SPEEDY DECLARER WEST NORTH EAST

By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist 10 8 4 3 Q65 J72

Traffic is going at a steady 65 mph on an interstate. You are coming up the entry ramp. What 5 9832 A K Q J 10
is your ideal speed when you reach the top of the ramp?
SOUTH
Right — 65. So why do many drivers try to merge at 50 or 55? It increases the risk of an A Q J 10
accident. AK9

At the bridge table, though, if you are playing against a speedy opponent, do not try to 764
match him. Take your time; do not be rushed into a mistake. In this deal, for example, how
should East plan the defense against three no-trump after West leads the spade nine, and Dealer: South; Vulnerable: Both
South immediately calls for dummy’s singleton?
The Bidding:
South has a normal-looking two-no-trump opening, although his ace-king count is high.
If you take two points for an ace and one for a king, the opener will normally have seven SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
points; this hand has eight, which is the usual number for a two-club opening followed by a 2 NT Pass 3 NT All Pass
two-no-trump rebid. But it would be quite some upgrade to open two clubs. LEAD:
9 Spades
After North’s thin raise to game, East might have risked a double, which would have said that
he had a solid suit and hoped partner could find it. Typically, though, this would have been
a major suit because the responder had not used Stayman or a transfer. However, here,
West might have led a club on the shortest-suit principle — partner’s longest suit will be my
shortest.

What is a nine lead? Top of nothing. So East should know that South has the spade
A-Q-J-10. Then, playing the king gives declarer four spade tricks and nine in all. But if East
ignores third hand high and calmly plays the spade three, declarer cannot find a ninth trick.
