About this home
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged, AI generated or rendered. Tucked within Aster Place, the estate-home section of gated Emerson Square, this updated four-bedroom, three-bath residence offers exceptional space, style, and setting. Set on a larger homesite with coveted southern exposure, the home captures spectacular long-water views from the main living areas and outdoor spaces. Designed for comfortable living and effortless entertaining, the spacious floor plan features soaring ceilings, easy-maintenance tile flooring throughout, a formal dining room, an expansive great room, eight-foot sliding glass doors, modern finishes, and a neutral color palette. The completely remodeled kitchen is a true centerpiece, showcasing white shaker soft-close cabinetry, illuminated upper cabinets, under-cabinet lighting, pullout pantry shelving, a 36-inch induction range, updated appliances, a farmhouse-style fireclay sink, touchless Moen faucet, instant hot-water faucet, crystal white ice glass-tile backsplash, and an impressive 10-by-4-foot leathered granite island with plenty of room for guests to gather. The split-bedroom layout provides privacy, with a spacious primary suite on one side featuring two closets, including a walk-in, a generously sized en-suite bath, and direct access to the lanai. The guest wing includes three additional bedrooms, a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a separate cabana bath with direct lanai access, ideal for visiting family and friends. Step outside to the custom extended screened lanai, completed in 2024 as a private waterfront retreat for relaxing and entertaining. A Michael Phelps Legend LSX 800 Master Spa with dream lighting and a spa umbrella is perfectly positioned to enjoy the lake views, while the generous backyard offers plenty of room to add a private pool. Additional improvements include a newer roof (2023), newer hot water heater and water softener (also 2023), new A/C (2025), whole-house rain gutters and interior and exterior paint (2024), upgraded lighting and ceiling fans, plantation shutters, custom blinds, decorative molding, stone-accented wall insets, extensive landscaping, electric hurricane shutters on the lanai and front door, and manual shutters for the remaining openings. The oversized three-car garage includes a four-foot depth extension and built-in storage. A paver driveway enhances the home’s curb appeal, and a whole-house generator hookup is in place. Emerson Square offers no CDD fees along with a clubhouse, fitness center, community pool, and play area in a beautifully maintained gated setting. Ideally located west of US-41, you’ll enjoy easy access to Southwest Florida’s beaches, dining, grocery options, Miromar Outlets, Coconut Point, I-75, RSW Airport, Estero, Bonita Springs, and Naples. With its estate-home presence, impressive upgrades, entertainment-friendly design, and tranquil waterfront setting, this is a rare opportunity to own a home that lives as beautifully as it is functional.
