6135 Calusa Ridge Trail $1,075,000

Connect with nature in this home with Bald Eagles and Osprey soaring outside. Watch them as they take their famed dives into the lake bordering the back of the almost 1 acre of land; oftentimes coming up with a fish. That’s a frequent experience the owners of this custom home have enjoyed over the past seven years. This 3,032 s.f. luxury home features 3 bedrooms, an office/den, and 2 ½ bathrooms. Located in Calusa Ridge gated community in the middle of the largest island in Florida (Pine Island). The home was constructed by Latitude 26 Builders with attention to detail in mind. It features a dream come true kitchen (Bon appétit!) with a butlers pantry, a formal dining area and screened in poolside lanai, plus a primary bedroom and bathroom that will make the owners feel like royalty. Multiple room's crown molding is accented with lighting. The Primary bathroom has a walk through shower, Marble countertops and bench along with a large soaking tub. There are separate his and her vanity closets. The two spacious guest bedrooms and guest bathroom are separated on the opposite end of the home from the primary bedroom/bathroom. The guest bathroom has dual sinks with a granite countertop. There is a den/office with double crown molding. Built well above the flood zone, this home has never flooded despite going through recent hurricanes with record storm surges and it does not require flood insurance. All doors and windows except in the breakfast nook have impact glass. The kitchen features a double tray ceiling, crown molding, quartzite for the countertops and island, custom hardwood soft close cabinetry, GE Profile appliances with a 36 inch induction cooktop, wall convection oven/microwave, dishwasher and french door refrigerator. The high tray ceilings with crown molding throughout allow the natural light to grace the house inviting in the outdoor sunshine and beauty as if it is part of the architecture. Flooring has 20 inch porcelain tiles with crack suppressant underlayment. There are ceiling speakers in multiple rooms and lanai creating three stereo zones. SMART house automation allows for control of the security system, thermostat, lighting and cameras from a smart phone. The lanai has an outdoor shower and bathroom for convenience when using the saltwater Pentair heated pool and hot tub combination. The spacious 3 car garage with a professional floor covering is built for the car enthusiast or storing toys. A RV/Tesla 30 amp outlet is on the outside of the garage. The Mediterranean style architecture is both unique and yet a perfect fit for the SW Florida surroundings and compliments the surrounding lifestyle (boaters are close to multiple marina options, golfers are within 10 miles of Cape Royal Golf Club, world class white sandy beaches surround the area, spring training baseball fans can enjoy the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins stadiums in Fort Myers, shopping and fine restaurants are all over SW Florida).
