205 11th Ave., Naples, FL 34102

When tasteful renovations are completed while maintaining the charm and character of an original Old Naples cottage, a truly special property exists. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, Royal Palm trees and picture-perfect decks and patios, this adorable cottage also features a separate guesthouse. Home to a living room with a wet bar, a bedroom and a full bathroom, the guesthouse creates a desirable amenity that is hard to find in Old Naples. Ideally located, the cottage sits just two blocks from the Gulf of Mexico and three blocks to the heart of Third Street South and a long list of wonderful galleries, boutiques and restaurants. The home itself is perhaps highlighted by the open floor plan which blends the family room and dining area into the updated kitchen which is complete with commercial stainless steel appliances and vintage, hand-made, fully restored cabinetry. Rooms are filled with natural light and accented with oak floors, white panel walls and charming ceiling details. The pool and spa primarily benefit from western exposure and are just as charming as the interior.
