An executive office with multiple workstations provides an ideal study or den.

A private first-floor guest suite offers exceptional comfort for visitors. Upstairs, an additional ensuite guest bed, and media room with its own fireplace (for possible conversion to bedroom) are open to a waterfront balcony capturing long-water views. Outside, Bahama-inspired louvered ceilings extend across the expansive covered lanai, where lounge and dining areas create an exceptional setting for waterfront entertaining. The impressive outdoor kitchen features a built-in grill, dedicated cooking area, seated bar, refrigerator, sink, and abundant serving space for effortless gatherings. Towering palms and lush tropical landscaping frame the saltwater pool, cascading waterfall spa, outdoor fireplace, pool bath, and sweeping waterfront views, creating an atmosphere of privacy and island elegance. Both the main lanai and upper balcony are fully screened, allowing year-round enjoyment of Southwest Florida's coastal climate. A dramatic spiral staircase leads to the rooftop terrace (new roof in 2025), where commanding Gulf views provide an unforgettable backdrop for spectacular sunsets. Completing this exceptional estate are a 38kW whole-home generator, 1,000-gallon propane tank, 2 new A/C units 2026, re-roof in 2025, and oversized three-car garage.

From there, Marco Island's extraordinary waterways and the Gulf become an extension of your backyard, defining the exquisite Southwest Florida waterfront lifestyle.
