Positioned on one of the most desirable oversized corner lots in Big Cypress Golf and Country Club Community, this updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath pool home offers an exceptional combination of privacy, location, and value in the heart of Naples. Set back from the street with its own private driveway—one of only a few homes in the community with this distinction—the property enjoys a quiet setting, mature landscape design, and open golf course views rarely available in this neighborhood. The interior layout includes formal living and dining areas overlooking the screened pool and lanai, a redesigned kitchen with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and high-end stainless steel appliances, plus a comfortable family room. One bedroom functions perfectly as a home office or flex space, ideal for today’s lifestyle. Recent improvements include remodeled bathrooms, upgraded lighting and electrical, impact-resistant windows, a newer roof, and a spacious laundry and pantry area. The large screened lanai—partially covered for outdoor dining and relaxation—creates a private retreat surrounded by lush greenery and long golf course views. Located just around the corner from The Country Club of Naples, Vanderbilt Beach and minutes to downtown. Surrounded by high-end new construction, this property stands out for its privacy, quality, and central Naples address with an optional HOA. Homes with this combination of lot position, design, and condition are rarely available—schedule your private showing today. Professionally staged by K & A Coastal Design—furnishings are available for purchase for a truly turnkey experience.
