One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged, AI generated or rendered. Esplanade by the Islands, Naples: a 2024 Ceretti twin villa with 3 bedrooms, a den behind pocket doors, 2 baths, a 2-car garage and 1,905 square feet under air, kept in like-new condition. Impact-resistant windows and doors. A northwest-facing back yard behind a double privacy hedge. An extended screened lanai with a built-in outdoor kitchen. A tankless water heater and an air-conditioned garage. A security system with cameras and no monthly fee. Inside, the great room opens to the lanai through a wide wall of sliders, so the main living space is full of daylight. Tray ceilings run through the great room, dining area, den and primary suite, with crystal fixtures in the main rooms. Light porcelain tile covers the living areas, with carpet in the bedrooms. The kitchen has white shaker cabinets, white quartz counters, a stone-look tile backsplash, stainless appliances with a natural gas range, and a long island with seating for four under glass pendants. The den sits off the hall behind double pocket doors and works as an office or extra sleeping space. The primary suite has a double-sink quartz vanity, a large tiled walk-in shower with a bench and a walk-in closet. Two guest bedrooms share a bath with a double vanity and a tub. The laundry room is separate. Outside is where this villa pulls away from the others. The lanai was extended and screened, and the stainless outdoor kitchen has a built-in grill, a refrigerator and storage drawers over large pavers. Because the yard faces northwest, the house shades the lanai through the heat of the day and the evening sky opens up over the hedge. The garage has a ductless mini-split air conditioner, an epoxy floor, overhead storage racks and room for a golf cart beside the car. The tankless water heater hangs on the wall, so there is no tank taking up floor space and the hot water keeps up with a house full of guests after a day at the pool. The security system pairs an alarm with doorbell, driveway and lanai cameras that record locally, so there is no monthly subscription. Esplanade by the Islands is gated and served by natural gas, and the association maintains the villa roofs and exteriors. The amenity campus is a short bike or golf cart ride from the door: resort pool and spa, the Bahama Bar, the Wellness and Venue clubhouse with fitness center and day spa, tennis, pickleball, bocce, a dog park, lit walking trails and a full social calendar, with the Culinary Center now under construction. A new Publix sits just outside the community. Public golf at The Links of Naples is about 5 minutes away, Marco Island and the Gulf beaches about 20 and downtown Naples about the same. The usual after-closing projects are already done here: the outdoor kitchen, the garage air conditioning, the cameras, the hedge, the tankless hot water. What is left is to move in.
