A textured tile accent wall anchors the living space with a linear electric fireplace, creating a contemporary focal point. The open kitchen is designed to accommodate gatherings of every size with commercial-style refrigerator and freezer towers, quartz countertops, a copper range hood, a French door oven with copper accents, a warming drawer and an expansive walk-in pantry. The pantry is finished with bold geometric wallpaper, open shelving and, according to the seller, a striking red door dating to 1905that was originally part of the Tampa courthouse and retains its original milk glass doorknob. The dedicated wine tasting room offers a memorable entertaining experience with custom metal wine racks and walls finished with reclaimed wine crates, creating a distinctive setting for showcasing and enjoying a collection. From its direct boating access and mature waterfront landscape to its collection of reclaimed architectural details and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces, this Fort Myers residence offers a distinctive combination of history, craftsmanship and modern waterfront living.
