A TRUE FLORIDA MANSION, without question, the grandest elegant home available for exchange on Marco Island. Four bedrooms, four full baths and three half baths. Our home is on a large bay with 200' water-frontage with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico.
Located in the prestigious estate area, this 7,200 sf home offers everything you could imagine for the luxury lifestyle of Florida's coveted South West coast.
Upon arrival you will be wowed with the exterior beauty of this Italian Villa styled design on a double building lot complete with double entry arched paved driveway and two separate two car over-sized garages connected with a portico that doubles as a lounging terrace on the second floor. The landscaping is more like artwork, framing the first impression of this remarkable home.
Entering through custom made over sized double doors to the main foyer with full views of the formal living and dining rooms and soaring ceilings, elaborate woodworking and specialty lighting that will certainly leave you in awe.
The view from these rooms, and all rooms in the home, are nothing short of spectacular. The back of the home boasts floor to ceiling windows in all main rooms and beautiful french doors in all bedrooms for maximum water views.
The kitchen and breakfast rooms, and adjoining full bar, are a gourmet chef's ultimate desire. The kitchen, again with soaring ceilings and cathedral-like wood work design, has a center work island with room enough for six people to easily work around. Viking gas 8-top stove and double Viking ovens, as well as a restaurant style refrigerator adorn this kitchen. Custom Habersham over sized lighted cabinetry completes this kitchen, almost too pretty to cook in.
The very comfortable large den has two walls of glass doors that fold back into disappearing walls for storage allowing the den to become both interior and exterior space.
A working office or study is on the main level as well as a guest bedroom, king bed, and full bath. All furnishings are custom designer quality and are of exceptional style and finishes.
The master bedroom is a retreat unto itself. Behind double entry doors into a private bedroom foyer you will experience an enclave of luxury and beauty that could spoil even the most discerning of guests. A huge bedroom with private sitting area would coax you to retire early on any given night to the peacefulness of a good book or movie. The bath is just as generous with his and her bathrooms, separate vanities, a jacuzzi tub, and walk-in shower that is more akin to a spa experience.
The second level is reached by either a soaring winding staircase encased in a window wall second foyer or by the secluded elevator.
On the second floor you will find two bedrooms, both queen beds, each with full baths. Also, for your entertainment, is a card room, wet bar, an office, a half bath, and a theater room easily seating eight in a setting quite different than the usual theater. All rooms upstairs also have french doors opening up onto a huge covered patio overlooking the pool below and the large bay area behind the home.
The pool and patio area behind the home are nothing short of resort area outdoor entertainment. The pool is arguably the largest private home pool on the island with a separate shallow end for child's play and, after going under a walking bridge, opening up into a large disappearing edge pool complete with water slide, fountains and hot tub. The bridge across the pool carries you to a private "beach" area complete with beautiful white sand and palm trees.
The patio and pool area also hosts an outdoor kitchen with grill, sink and bar counter-tops for serving. There is also a private half bath with outdoor access from the pool area. A 200 foot sea wall and boat dock allows ample room for your yacht and lots of great fishing right there in the back yard off the sea wall.
