Privacy and proximity to all of Naples amenities can be found in this inviting, well-proportioned two-story home in Gordon Drive Estates (fomerly known as Palmer Estates) - a mews of only nine homes on the edge of Olde Naples in Aqualane Shores.

The architectural elements in this home with 4,332 square feet under air speak to its traditional elegance: quality finishes and hardware, beautifully turned woodwork and trims, and solid-core doors throughout, all bathed in a color palette chosen to reflect sea, sand and sunlight. It begins with a dramatic staircase that draws the eye from the circular drive, into the grand foyer. From there, enter the large salon with volume ceilings and French doors leading to an expansive southwest-facing lanai paved with honed marble and surrounding the 30’x17’ pool and attached spa. Also on the first floor: a handsome, well-appointed study/library; an adjacent “holiday ready” formal dining room with access to the eastern terrace (Morning coffee, anyone?); a well-appointed kitchen with island, two dishwashers, wine cooler, and family dining alcove; a spacious gathering room with abundant light and access to the lanai and pool. The primary suite, also on the first floor, features a spa-like bath with tub, shower and dual vanities, a custom closet and beautiful views of the manicured landscape. On the second level: two guest bedrooms, ensuite, and a charming loft space, ideal for use as a play room or get-away reading nook. The two-bay garage accommodates extra storage needs. This home is in the “beach block” with private access through a gated easement available to residents of Gordon Drive Estates.
