290 SPANIARDS ROAD, PLACIDA, FL 33946

Located in the historic coastal community of Cape Haze in Placida, this distinctive 1954 residence sits on an expansive 0.66 acre homesite and offers a unique blend of Old Florida character and modern updates. Believed to be one of the original Vanderbilt era homes, the property features a separate mother-in-law suite with its own entrance ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, or potential rental income. Upon entering, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows fill the open living and dining areas with natural light, highlighting a wood-burning fireplace that has been entirely refaced to showcase its character from every angle. The dining area sits alongside the new impact sliding glass door to the outdoor oasis. The kitchen has been reimagined from its original mid-century galley style to create a more open, connected, and functional space. Solid wood cabinetry features dovetail drawers and soft-close hardware, pull-out storage, and an additional pantry cabinet. Quartz countertops extending into a full-height backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, an upgraded composite sink, Delta Champagne Bronze fixtures, and white LG Café Collection appliances complete the space. An original wood-framed glass-panel wall preserves a distinctive piece of the home's Old Florida character and now defines the first bedroom, which also lends itself beautifully to a study or creative workspace. Adjacent to the second guest bedroom, the generously sized primary suite features a bump-out framed by French doors opening to the outdoors. The ensuite bathroom has been transformed with a custom wood vanity, porcelain vessel sinks, and Delta Champagne Bronze fixtures. Custom wood shelving is built into either side of the walls, while a dramatic, full-height tiled accent wall carries the shower's design outward for a custom-finished look. Throughout the main residence, the extensive remodel includes new tile flooring, 5" baseboards & trim, fresh interior paint, recessed lighting with dimmable switches, and carefully selected finishes that refresh the home while preserving its original character. Added in 2007, the separate mother-in-law suite provides an inviting, open-concept living space with its own entrance. Quartz countertops and subway tile backsplash complement the kitchen, while the spacious layout feels bright and comfortable. A massive tiled walk-in shower and an oversized walk-in closet that doubles as a laundry room provide convenience and generous storage. French doors open directly onto the pool deck, creating an easy connection to the outdoor living area.
