An extraordinary Old Naples beachfront estate, this rare offering encompasses approximately .67 acres with an impressive 169 feet of pristine Gulf frontage, delivering an unparalleled combination of privacy, scale, and a prime location just blocks from the world-class boutiques, galleries, and dining of Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South. Designed by acclaimed architect Richard Morris, the art deco–inspired residence was masterfully conceived to frame sweeping Gulf views and sunsets, showcase fine art and create a seamless indoor–outdoor living experience that feels grand and intimate. A dramatic arrival unfolds into a soaring 22-foot foyer, where a sweeping staircase and private elevator lead to an elevated art gallery, immediately establishing the home’s architectural presence and refined elegance. The light-filled great room serves as the heart of the residence, flowing effortlessly into the dining area, expansive lanai and a sophisticated lounge highlighted by custom millwork and a wet bar, ideal for entertaining against a backdrop of endless blue horizons. A sculptural spiral staircase ascends to a private observation deck, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Gulf and unforgettable sunsets.
