Description

In the heart of the Old Naples Historic District. A fabulous walkable location - close to the Gulf beaches, parks, shopping and dining. This amazing home was inspired by the original cottage, in which the owner artist has painted a mural at the front entry. The floor plan flows easily from the inside to the outside with outdoor living room, large screened area with a combination pool spa (Spool) with a "grotto" style waterfall. So much thought went into the design, detail and uniqueness of this home. It is truly a one-of-a-kind. Volume tongue and groove pine ceilings are found in the Great room and are carried up the stairs leading to the 2nd floor guest suites. There are two cupolas for added light and charm. Custom antique furniture style built-ins in the great room create a "library" feeling and add storage. The Chef's kitchen features a large island with two refrigerator drawers, the counter-tops are a leather honed finish granite. Above the island are three hand blown Murano glass pendants. In the primary suite there are French doors opening to the screened outdoor living area and pool-spa combination. Large walk-in closet with built-ins and a wonderful bath featuring a large walk-in shower plus a soaking tub. The lovely wood staircase with iron balusters, wood rail and a window wall leading you to the 2nd level landing. The upstairs guest suites consist of two guest rooms with a pass-through hall, that also serves as an upstairs "kitchenette" with a beverage refrigerator, microwave, sink and loads of cabinets for additional storage. The flooring on the 2nd level is a Mexican Terracotta tile. The front guest room overlooks 10th Avenue South, and the back bedroom has a tree house feeling with spiral stairs that go down to the "spool" and outdoor living. The hardscape is Chicago brick, including the circular drive, front and back drive ways and the extensive outdoor living areas. There is even a private outdoor shower, perfect when you are coming back from the beach. The outdoor living room has tongue and groove ceiling with Chicago brick flooring in a Herringbone pattern, open via French doors from the Great room, primary bedroom and half bath. Colorful gardens, anchored by mature trees surround the home. The three-car tandem garage has access from 10th Avenue South, or the alley via a gate. On the second level you will find a large air-conditioned storage space. Flood elevation of the first living level is at 11', the garage floor is at 9'.
