1648 Villa Ct., Marco Island, FL 34145

This elegant home epitomizes the best of Marco Island’s enviable boating and beach-getaway lifestyle. Its sunny, oversized lanai is a desirable destination for outdoor entertaining: picture-perfect converging and long-water views never cease to amaze, with a lap pool and spa to boot. A boater’s delight as well, with access to the Gulf of Mexico and its Ten Thousand Islands via Roberts Bay. An easy ten minutes from the beach, this rare offering boasts Marco’s stunning vistas inside too: an open floorplan allows glimpses of the calming bay from the kitchen, living room and master suite. The expansive gourmet kitchen, replete with custom white cabinets and stainless appliances, opens to the living and dining rooms for memorable gatherings. A separate guest wing (more water views!) affords privacy; its bath conveniently doubles as a pool bath. The spacious den is convertible for a fourth bedroom. Meticulously maintained with new-ish updates: roof (2018), A/C (2020), hot-water heater (2020), pool filter, washing machine, landscaping, whole-house water filtration, state-of-the-art plumbing (no copper piping), aluminum lift with electric-dock lights, master-bath glass shower doors, electrical box to the house, lanai ceiling fans, and more.
