1540 CURLEW AVE

BOAT. LIVE. BUILD. ESCAPE. Welcome to waterfront living in sought-after Golden Shores, within the coveted Royal Harbor area, just minutes from downtown Naples. Set on a .26-acre, 75 x 150-foot lot with southern exposure, this canal-front property offers direct, bridge-free Gulf access, a deep backyard, and a thoughtfully remodeled residence perfectly sized for an easy, active Naples lifestyle. Fresh, crisp, and coastal, the interior is bright, spacious, and inviting, with a comfortable, homey feel. The thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom plus den floor plan includes a Murphy bed for guests, fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, walk-in closets in the primary suite, and an updated bath with walk-in shower and dual vanity, and tile throughout. Step outside and the Naples experience comes alive. Dine and entertain on the expansive patio, fire up the grill, relax in the standalone hot tub, or enjoy the private putting green. At the dock, settle into an Adirondack chair with stunning bay views, soak up the southern sun, and stay for the sunset. The newer dock and 16,000-pound boat lift, completed by Collier Seawall & Dock, can accommodate a substantial vessel such as a 24- to 27-foot Grady-White.  With no bridges to the Gulf, boating and fishing are effortless. Cruise to Keewaydin Island for a day on the sand, head south toward Marco Island and beyond, or simply spend an afternoon on the Gulf and return in time for sunset. For the avid boater, the freedom to leave your dock and reach open water without navigating bridges is a rare Naples luxury. The property sits high and dry and has never flooded, with impact windows (2021), newer a/c system (less than 2 yrs) and metal roof for added peace of mind. The setting is ideal for an active lifestyle, with boating, biking, pickleball, nearby tennis and golf all close at hand. Old Naples, Fifth Avenue South, Gulf beaches, dining, shopping, galleries, and the Naples Sailing & Yacht Club are also nearby. For those with a vision for the future, the surrounding street continues to evolve with impressive new construction, including nearby homes valued at more than $6 million. Enjoy the residence today as a full-time home or rental while taking the time to envision and create your future luxury waterfront residence. Live on the water. Play all day. Watch the sunset from your own dock. The Naples lifestyle you've been waiting for is here!
