London Bay Homes’ panache for finding unique homesites and transforming them with showstopping estates, is displayed throughout its newest luxury home at 477 3rd Street N. in Old Naples.
Now completed and available for purchase, the four-bedroom showcase estate takes advantage of an extraordinary 300-foot-deep lot with nearly 1,700 square feet of meandering resort-inspired alfresco venues, including a large lanai with a summer kitchen and lounge, a dining pavilion and a freestanding guest cabana with an outdoor living room.
“A homesite like this is rare in Old Naples,” said Toby Cloutier, director of business development for London Bay Homes. “Our team and design partners did an incredible job capturing the essence of outdoor living and the feeling of being on vacation in the privacy of your own home. Guests will love the VIP experience of their own private cabana separate from the main house.”
Spanning 5,483 square feet under air and situated a block from the Gulf of Mexico, the two-story estate’s open concept design emphasizes indoor-outdoor connections and features landscaping, a custom pool and spa by Exteriors by Koby Kirwin and exquisite interiors from Romanza Interior Design. Fully furnished, it offers four full bathrooms, a powder room, pool bath, study, second-floor lounge and loft, elevator and a side-loading three-car garage.
The estate’s contemporary coastal architecture is pronounced by bronze window frames and textural porcelain-stone cladding around the two-story entry tower. The pivoting glass front door reveals lingering views sweeping across the great room to the length of the sunlit pool and expansive garden areas and green spaces.
Walnut paneling inset with bronze channels dramatically extends from the foyer’s wall to the ceiling, previewing Romanza’s elegant interior design, including hand-selected finishes and furnishings, 48-by-48 porcelain tile floor in main living areas and European white oak in the master suite and throughout the second floor. The home’s color palette, wood and texture add warmth, depth and richness – from taupe, navy and black with elm, walnut, brass and copper accents.
The open great room reimagines entertaining with a custom built-in, a cozy “chat room” and wall-spanning pocketing sliding glass doors blending indoor and outdoor areas and showcasing long pool views. A full wet bar, gourmet kitchen and well-appointed butler’s pantry also enhance hosting capabilities.
Featuring lacquered Poliform cabinetry, the professional kitchen’s all-white backgrounds are contrasted by the elm base and built-in table of the freestanding island and the gold, ochre and gray of its Calacatta luxe marble waterfall countertop.
The estate’s thoughtfully designed alfresco destinations are woven into a tapestry of lush greenery and discovered while wandering the trellised walkways around the resort-inspired pool which features a shallow sun shelf and an oversized mosaic-tile sunken spa. The outdoor kitchen has a built-in gas grill, an oversized L-shaped bar with a Dekton waterfall edge countertop, an Evo grill, two TVs and a warm taupe tongue-and-groove ceiling.
Outdoor areas meander to a series of open-air and under-roof retreats, including a lawn with a trio of chaises overlooking the pool and a covered dining pavilion with a table for eight and a custom sea fan coral metal screen in place of a wall. On the opposite side of the pool, an Irish-blue limestone deck with a stylish daybed is exclusively accessed by the master suite.
A guest getaway, the cabana features a custom wardrobe, a morning kitchen with a refrigerator and coffee bar, a private deck and outdoor shower surrounded by tropical landscaping. Its spacious alfresco living room features a wet bar with a refrigerator and icemaker, an oversized sectional sofa facing the linear fireplace and TV, and automated roll-down screens and shutters.
“With south and west exposure, the pool and outdoor areas get ample sunshine and really complement the home,” said Cloutier. “Homebuyers will appreciate the feeling of living in their own private resort.”
The estate’s spacious master suite and a statement-making study occupy an entire wing. Featuring an all-glass entry wall, the study boasts a modern Poliform wall system accented with leather, glass, dark wood and metal – a look that echoes the foyer’s wall and ceiling treatment.
The primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with a 360-degree boutique Poliform closet linking bedroom and bathroom. Inspired by a boutique with glass displays, wood and mirrored finishes, the custom walk-in closet offers a makeup vanity under a large window and a variety of storage solutions and functions. The bedroom features warm hues, textures of cashmere and silk and French doors leading to the private sun deck by the pool.
Upstairs, a nearly 200-square-foot balcony offers additional outdoor living, pool and sunset views for two second-floor guest suites, each with private bathrooms and walk-in closets. A cozy loft offers a peaceful indoor retreat with a morning kitchen and a lounge with a built-in media wall.
London Bay Homes offers additional showcase estates in Naples’ most sought-after neighborhoods, including a move-in ready residence on Gordon Drive East in Aqualane Shores, half a block from the Gulf.
