Completely remodeled in 2020, the residence offers three spacious bedrooms, two beautifully renovated baths, a two-car garage, and two expansive terraces that shift the mood from lively to serene. Step onto the front terrace for sweeping golf course vistas and tranquil fountain views; retreat to the oversized rear lanai and primary suite, where a peaceful preserve backdrop brings quiet, unhurried mornings. Inside, luxury wide-plank flooring runs throughout, leading to a gourmet kitchen redesigned with natural gas cooking, a quartz island with breakfast bar, custom cabinetry, designer lighting, and Bosch appliances.

Inside, move-in-ready finishes keep the palette clean and current: brand-new porcelain tile spans the living areas, while both bathrooms are finished in marble. The updated kitchen pairs fresh cabinetry with a new GE Profile refrigerator and dishwasher for easy everyday living. Impact-resistant sliders in the living room and both bedrooms extend the space to a private balcony, where sunsets become a nightly ritual. Amenities include 24-hour concierge service, a Gulfside heated pool and spa, a modern fitness center, two Har-Tru tennis courts, a social room with a full catering kitchen, and a direct beach walkway with complimentary chairs.

Thoughtfully renovated baths introduce modern comfort while respecting the residence’s integrity, creating a natural dialogue between old and new. Designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyles, the layout offers multiple gathering spaces—ideal for everything from lively evenings to slower, everyday rhythms.

Beyond a fully fenced and gated 2.5-acre setting west of Collier Boulevard in Naples, this long-cherished estate balances country calm with everyday convenience.

Out back, the expansive rear lanai becomes a true retreat, with a pool and spa and a desirable northern rear exposure suited to both entertaining and quiet downtime. A massive 24′ x 36′ pole barn with a metal roof on a paver pad adds serious flexibility, alongside three 12×12 horse stalls and a custom “hoop coop” chicken coop. A metal roof (2013) and A/C (2017) round out a home ready for its next chapter.
