STUNNING MEDITERRANEAN IN NAPLES 

The pleasures of indoor/outdoor living and entertaining are at the heart of this magnificent lakefront estate overlooking the Palm Course of Grey Oaks.

Within the exclusive Isle Toscano enclave of Grey Oaks Country Club, this designer-decorated Tuscan-inspired estate embodies an invitingly elegant living environment in harmony with its dramatic lakefront setting, facing southwest over the shimmering water to the 15th fairway of the Palm Course just beyond. Enchantingly scenic, this wide-open viewpoint is the backdrop of the resort-style pool patio as well as the formal and casual living spaces of this exquisite residence which was previously featured in House Beautiful magazine in August, 2003.

Cast stone fireplaces anchor both the elegantly refined formal living room and the expansive lanai promoting an airy flow off the casually gracious great room, adjoining the theater room and gourmet kitchen. In the opposite wing, the luxurious front-to-back master suite enjoys its own handsome two-story study and poolside lanai. Thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail, this exquisite Grey Oaks estate functions perfectly for both comfortable everyday living and entertaining on any scale.
