A Masterclass in Modern Coastal Living
The moment the door opens to this corner unit in Pelican Bay, the architecture steps aside to let the Gulf take center stage. What was once a series of segmented rooms is now a fluid, open-concept sanctuary where the horizon feels like an extension of the living room. The renovation was driven by a single goal: to honor those original floor-to-ceiling windows while grounding the modern space with a sense of permanent, traditional craft.
As you move into the heart of the home, the transition between contemporary lines and classic details is seamless. Overhead, custom tongue-and-groove ceilings and refined trim work add a layer of texture that keeps the vast views from feeling sterile. In the gourmet kitchen, the aesthetic is both clean and tactile; stained oak meets crisp white cabinetry, all punctuated by warm gold hardware and the polished elegance of Cambria countertops. It is a space built for a serious chef, featuring a suite of Thermador appliances—including panel-ready refrigerator and freezer columns and an under-counter wine station—that disappear into the millwork to maintain the room’s visual calm.
The home’s intelligence is felt rather than seen. A dedicated dehumidification system works behind the scenes to keep the Naples air crisp, while a custom audio-video system provides an immersive backdrop for entertaining. When the Florida sun becomes too intense, motorized window treatments allow for effortless light control at the touch of a button.
The true “magic” of the home, however, is found in its ability to adapt. Positioned to overlook the golf course, the den functions as a quiet home office that can transform in an instant. With the flick of a switch, the “click glass” wallseparating the den from the kitchen frosts over, providing immediate privacy for the room to function as a full guest suite with its own en-suite bath. It’s a sophisticated sleight of hand that allows the +/- 2,000-square-foot footprint to live much larger than its measurements suggest, offering a lifestyle that is as versatile as it is beautiful.
