I've had the luxury of showing a home a few times this season in Bay Laurel at Pelican Marsh I think deserves special recognition. I've sold real estate for 13 years and by now I'll admit, it takes something great to capture my attention. Couple that with the fact that I'm usually not awarded the right to an opinion when I show (because it's not my opinion that counts when buyers are selecting properties to purchase) and well after awhile many houses sort of run together.
Bay Laurel at Pelican Marsh is a GREAT subdivision within Pelican Marsh. I like it because it's a quaint 3 pavered street area lined with beautiful homes and lush landscaping. Approximately half the homes offer a golf course view while the others back up to a wooded preserve and there's also an additional manned gated entrance here.
So what sets 8715 Spkerush apart from the others located in Bay Laurel? I can think of a few words like: Young, Fun, Sexy!
The first homes in Bay Laurel were completed in 2000 and continued til 2007. In fact this was the last home to be built in Bay Laurel to date. They did a MAGNIFICENT job! There are tons of attributes I love about this home starting with the floor plan. It's exquisite, intelligent and fun. Naples has no shortage of beautiful properties but not every home offers the fun factor this one has. There are outstanding entertaining areas (both inside and out) complete with tastefully decorated game room, media room and outside lanai featuring summer kitchen and fireplace. There's a wine cellar that will house quite a few bottles of wine and the materials that were used to create the character of this home are beautiful and vibrant!
Now this is probably starting to sound like the typical marketing job of any Realtor trying to sell their listing but it's not my listing. In fact it's listed by a whole other company and although the listing agent (also the seller) is a sweet lady, we are not friends. She doesn't call me to play tennis...which is good cause I can't play tennis...in fact I'm getting ready to have a baby...I could hardly play miniature golf comfortably right now. :)
My point is this, MLS is great for describing the number of bedrooms and stating whether or not a property has a pool and which direction the home faces but it SUCKS at explaining, "this home is really something special". The pictures don't quite capture the fabulous character of this home. That's why ya gotta see it to really "get" how cool it really is.
I can see someone who lives a great life in their late 30's 40's or young 50's purchasing this home in a heart beat! They could easily have kids (or not) but chances are they are really embracing the joys life has to offer.
So give a shout if you think this is the kind of home for you or check out 8715 Spikerush Lane.
