Rare cottage in Old Naples lists for $14.5 million. Will it be saved?

Rare cottage in Old Naples lists for $14.5 million. Will it be saved?

Laura Layden | Naples Daily News

A rare piece of Old Naples charm has come to market.

That charm, however, could be lost, with the sale of the property, which has been owned by the same family for decades.

On the property sits a quaint cottage, described as embodying the “charm, craftsmanship and lifestyle of a bygone era.”

The house is more than 85 years old.

Built with locally sourced heart pine and cypress, it has a front porch and a wood-burning fireplace, reminiscent of the old days (before central air and mosquito control made living in Naples year-round much more comfortable).

The sand for the foundation came from local beaches and the trees for the walls came from local suppliers at the edge of town because there wasn’t a highway, or rail line yet to bring in building supplies, said Lodge McKee, the exclusive listing agent with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty in Naples.

It includes a second lot that’s vacant, which could make it more attractive to a buyer looking to build a trophy estate, family compound or generational retreat, rather than to preserve a piece of Naples history, McKee said.

A penthouse has listed for $37.5 million in Naples, but is it the most expensive?

Laura Layden | Naples Daily News

A penthouse in Naples has quietly listed for $37.5 million.

That makes it the most expensive resale condo on the market in the city.

There is at least one new penthouse going for more, according to the Southwest Florida Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Its price tag: $45 million (for delivery in 2027).

New condos usually don’t appear on the MLS.

Here’s more to know about the renovated move-in ready offering, which could set a new benchmark for its tower and the Naples resale condo market:

Where is it located?
It’s Penthouse 2 at The Regent, a 24-story tower in the Park Shore neighborhood. The tower offers panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and Venetian Bay, sitting at 4101 Gulf Shore Boulevard North. In total, the building has 37 condos.

When was it built?
The tower was delivered by The Lutgert Cos. in 2002, but Penthouse 2 has been “completely reimagined,” creating a residence that is “a sanctuary of elegance and comfort, perfectly tailored for modern living,” according to the listing.

How big is it?
The home stretches a little over 12,000 square feet under air. At The Regent, there are five penthouses, on the top five floors, with each condo taking up an entire floor.
