Positioned at the tip of a quiet cul-de-sac on an exceptional center tip lot with approximately 232 feet of waterfront, this custom waterfront residence commands sweeping western wide water bay views where every evening ends with Marco Island's spectacular sunsets. With direct Gulf access and no bridges, it offers an extraordinary boating lifestyle and the ease of true island living. A welcoming foyer immediately draws your eye through the home to the water beyond. Designed on one level, the residence offers an ideal balance of spacious gathering areas and private retreats. A home office and fitness room lead to the expansive great room, where a gas fireplace and walls of glass create a warm yet impressive living space. The adjoining dining area with bay window flows into the expansive island kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, double ovens, a walk-in pantry, built-in desk, and oversized breakfast bar, making everyday living and entertaining equally effortless. Occupying its own private wing, the waterfront primary suite offers French doors opening to the lanai, dual walk-in closets, dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dedicated dressing vanity, while guest bedrooms are privately positioned on the opposite side of the home. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a ''picture window'' screened enclosure framing panoramic water views, a gas-heated pool with integrated waterfall spa, generous covered living and dining areas, and a fully equipped summer kitchen with built-in gas grill and professional ice maker. Mature tropical landscaping, three mango trees, a cocktail orange tree and expansive lawn areas create a private tropical setting. Designed for serious boaters, the dock offers 91' x 19' and approximately 232 feet of waterfront with a 32000-pound boat lift, that will hold a 45 ft boat, an 8k lb personal watercraft lift, covered pavilion, fish-cleaning station, plexiglass fish viewing area, electric, water, lighting, and dockage for a 60 foot vessel as well as a 500 lb commercial ice maker for fishing or entertaining. Built by a respected contractor as his personal residence, this smoke-free home reflects enduring quality with surround sound, Andersen windows and French doors, electric storm shutters, a 32kW whole-house generator, newer 2- and 4-ton A/C systems, a 500-gallon underground propane tank, house gutters draining to the seawall, an oversized three-car garage, and thoughtful craftsmanship throughout. New pool heater, pool and deck redone within 5 yrs. Exceptional homes begin with exceptional settings, and here an extraordinary center tip lot with sweeping western exposure, remarkable waterfrontage, and a residence designed for relaxed coastal living come together to create one of Marco Island's truly exceptional waterfront offerings.
