Three years ago a couple moved to Southwest Florida and decided to build the home of their dreams. They decided on a location in Section 94 of South Gulf Cove because it afforded amenities like public water and sewer, fiber optic internet and lenient deed restrictions that allowed open parking of their RV or boat as well as the construction of an additional garage if they wanted. They chose the largest lot they could find, three-quarters of an acre, and engaged renowned local builder DM Dean to construct their home surrounded by a vast lawn. They liked to entertain and wanted a home they could not only be comfortable in but also feel proud of so they added features like an elegant 12-foot coffered ceiling, zero-corner sliders so inside and outside could seamlessly become one, and of course solid wood cabinetry, granite counters, diamond set tile floors and a walk-in pantry. Outside they wanted a space where they and their friends could step away from all the cares of the day so they created a special area steeped in details like a unique patterned paver deck, wood accented ceiling, a pool and spa large enough for a party with delightful LED lighting. They also wanted a garage large enough to accommodate their passions. So they created a 4-bay space high enough to easily handle a vehicle lift, plus an additional wood or mechanics shop at the rear. And to make access easy for everyone, the home boasts a nearly 40-foot-wide paver drive and a walkway all around to keep rainwater from splashing and staining the walls. Their standards were high and they didn’t miss a detail. They couldn’t find their dream home so they created it. Now you don’t have to. Come take a look. You won’t be sorry you did.
