701 Plantation CourtMarco Island, FL 34145Price: $5,195,000

Sitting on a quiet corner within the Marco Beach enclave with direct frontage on a navigable waterway, this newer construction built by award winning R.K. Reiman Construction defines how an island residence should be lived in. Framed by royal palms, the gabled front elevation gives way to an interior defined by linear coffered ceilings that draw the eye toward the water through a wall of pocketing sliders, with wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring carried throughout. Considered the heart of the home, the kitchen is anchored by a double-waterfall edged island that could seat plenty along its working edge, with induction cooking, custom cabinetry, Sub Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances, and a hidden pantry that absorbs the demands of entertaining without compromising the main living area. A wet bar with glass shelving and an undermount wine cooler supports the adjacent dining area. The expansive sliding glass doors give way to a covered lanai with tongue-and-groove wood ceiling that seamlessly extends the great room into a year-round living space, and is complete with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, automatic hurricane shutters, and roll down screens. Beyond, a heated pool, spa, and sun shelf rest on a deck framed by mature landscaping, with a pool bath. Tucked away for the utmost privacy, the ground-level primary suite places the daylight, pool, and dock within a single sequence of doors, and features dual dressing rooms, as well as a bath hosting an expansive walk-through shower and dual vanities. Additional quarters on the ground level include a guest suite and study. Upstairs, the home opens into a second living space that could be utilized as a media room, recreation room, or fitness studio, with a covered balcony commanding water views. Completing the second level, two guest suites are configured as full en-suites, each with their own view orientation and walk-in closets. The property's deeded dock includes a boat lift, water, and electricity, with deep water access and immediate proximity to the open Gulf. Located near shopping, dining, and entertainment, including Veterans' Park, the property offers the rare convergence of tranquility and accessibility.
