New Listing: Gulf Access Pool Home in Paradise

As I write, the Contractor is finishing up placing new ceramic tiles in the Living Room and Kitchen.  The owners chose tiles that look like wood, which is all the rage now, at least here in Southwest Florida.  Previously, my opinion of this type of flooring was not enthusiastically positive, but as I saw more and more of this style, I've decided that I like it so much that my husband and I are now planning to redo the flooring in our master bedroom and office with the wood-like tiles.

Our new Listing is located in Southwest Cape Coral, not that far from Cape Coral Parkway. The home is spacious with a split plan.  Nearly 1700 square feet under air, and over 3500 square feet in total. The master bedroom offers a delicious view of the pool and gulf access canal, as does the living room and kitchen.  As mentioned above, new tiles everywhere.  

But, it is the outside of the home that will take your breath away.  There is a Heated free formed Pool w/ spa.  There is a Tiki Hut located on the Dock. There is a boat lift, and a boat by the way, available for sale separately form the home.  All of this overlooks stunning, wide intersecting canals that lead to the Caloosahatchee River and beyond to the Gulf of Mexico.
Listed for $333,000.

Beach Houses and Sand Castles: November 30, 2014

 

Last day of the Sand Sculpturing Festival that takes place on Fort Myers Beach every November.  On my way down to the south part of the island, I come across an open house for a beach house.  I decided to stop and take a peak.  Built in 1957, this 4 bedroom/4 bath renovated Beach Cottage is situated directly on the white sand before the Gulf of Mexico.  Over 1800 square feet and  75' of gulf frontage.  Listed at 2.1 million.

 

But, on to the sand sculptures.  This year, the event took place from November 21st through the 30th.  USA Today listed the event as one of the 10 best sand sculpting competitions and the Southeastern Tourism Society recognized the American Sand Sculpting Championship as a top 20 event of the entire southeastern United States.  As an artist, I am always impressed with this unique style of "art."  The detail that these artists create from sand particles is truly amazing.

 

 

The winner:  Canadian Master Sculptor Abe Waterman.  He  carved a scene from a chess match between a king and queen to gain the gold medal among the 16 master sculptors that represented nine different countries and 10 states.
