THE DREAM ON THE BAY

That’s exactly how I felt walking through 309 Neapolitan Way in Naples, Florida. Not overwhelmed. Not sold. But stilled. Engaged. Intrigued by the quiet luxury that so rarely announces itself—and yet says everything.

Offered at $12.25 million, this residence isn’t just about materials or square footage (though it has plenty of both). It’s about rhythm. Lifestyle. That elusive sense of ease we chase in high-end real estate. And here, on the edge of Venetian Bay, it’s all within reach.  

A Home That Lets You Breathe
Set on a coveted street in Park Shore, 309 Neapolitan Way is the kind of waterfront property that gets quietly passed around in conversations between friends who understand Naples. There’s no grandstanding here. No overstated drama. Just elegant architecture, a generous 104 feet of bay frontage, and a private dock waiting for your 44-foot boat. 

The home itself feels personal. It’s spacious without being cavernous. At nearly 5300 square feet with five bedrooms and five baths, it’s the kind of place that makes sense for a family—or for someone who welcomes company often but still values their solitude.  

And while the residence was originally built in 2023, a thoughtful refresh in 2025 added even more finesse: soft neutral paint, upgraded systems, and stylish exterior glass railings that let your view stay front and center 

Where Indoors and Out Live in Harmony
Florida living is about flow. That dance between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty. And this home? It nails it.

There’s a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, multiple lounging zones, and space for both casual afternoon drinks and candlelit dinners as the sky turns that signature Naples gold.

The negative-edge saltwater pool and spa, recently added glass railings providing an amazing unobstructed view of the bay. It’s easy to imagine mornings with coffee here. Afternoons reading. Evenings with friends gathered around the fire features as boats drift past in the distance.  

Every inch of this backyard feels like a private resort—just without the room service surcharge. 

Light, Texture, and Taste
What struck me most about the interiors of 309 Neapolitan Way is that they feel designed for life—not just for Instagram. The two-story great room pulls in natural light from walls of glass. Rich European white oak floors warm the space beneath your feet. An imported Italian porcelain accent wall in the living area draws your eye without screaming for attention.

And the kitchen? Absolutely exquisite. With Thermador appliances, Calacatta Gold marble counters, Brazilian cherry wood accents, and a 500-bottle temperature-controlled wine “vault” off of the dining area, it’s equal parts showpiece and sanctuary for the culinary-inclined. 

 

There’s even a private elevator connecting all levels—so whether you’re bringing up a case of vintage Bordeaux or just returning from the beach, movement here is fluid and easy.

Room for Everyone, Space for Yourself
Each of the five bedrooms feels intentional. The primary suite is serene and private, with its own bay views and direct access to the pool terrace. Upstairs, guest suites are tucked into private corners, some with balconies, some with sweeping water views, all with plenty of breathing room.

This is a home where guests can come for a long weekend—or a long winter—and never feel like they’re in your space. And if you’re working remotely (as so many of us are), there are multiple spots in the home that offer tranquility and focus. A home office never looked—or felt—this inspiring.  

Park Shore: Naples, But Better
Location matters in luxury real estate. Always has, always will. And in Naples, few neighborhoods capture the essence of refined coastal living like Park Shore. 

You’re minutes from the boutiques and restaurants of Venetian Village. A short ride to Fifth Avenue South. And walking distance to the beach, where the Gulf meets the sky and time slows down.  

More Than a Property—A State of Mind
Real estate in this tier is often described in terms of features: how many car bays, what appliances, what finishes. And sure, 309 Neapolitan Way checks all the right boxes. Three-car garage. Generator. Smart home systems. Recent updates. The works.

But what sets this home apart—what really gives it weight—is how it makes you feel.  

It’s not just turn-key. It’s emotionally turn-key. There’s nothing here that needs fixing. Nothing here that demands attention. You step into this space and it’s as if it’s been waiting for you. To arrive. To slow down. To live the life you thought was only possible once you retired.  

And the beauty is? You don’t have to wait.  

Ownership here is about more than acquiring real estate. It’s about establishing a way of life. One that includes sunsets reflected on bay waters, early mornings with a dockside espresso, and the freedom to entertain, relax, and breathe—without compromise.
