This custom home was built in 2004 on an over-size lot to a high quality specification. It is on the intersection of the Rubican - one of the widest in Cape Coral - and Saturn waterways. The 4,239 sq ft house is spacious, light and airy with superb views over the water from the living areas and the patio/pool area.
The rooms have high ceilings and 8-ft doors and the sliding glass doors of the back half of the house disappear when opened right up, giving the feeling that the patio, pool and open water are just an extension of the living room. There is efficient air conditioning with two separate systems, one for each side of the house and all rooms have ceiling fans.
The patio is a 1,000 sq ft deck area inside a covered lanai. It has a custom, curved pool which has a 5-ton pool heater with an indoor Aqualink control panel for pump, heater and lights. The pool is augmented with a Jacuzzi-type spa, which overflows into the pool and there is an air-conditioned full bathroom with shower adjacent to the pool. A range of comfortable, quality patio furniture including table, chairs and loungers is provided and the gas BBQ is also found on the deck area.
The boat is a 21ft Hurricane deck boat with a Yamaha 150HP 4-stroke outboard motor. The 4-stroke engine is quiet and it does not emit the nasty smelling smoke that 2-stroke owners suffer when operating at low speed. It is sufficiently powerful to easily exceed 30mph on the open water. The boat sits on an electrically-operated lift on the dock just outside the house.
It is fully equipped to Coastguard specifications and provides perfect days out on the water whether you like to fish, cruise, go shelling or just want to go sight-seeing around Sanibel, Captiva and Pine Island. The route to the main river is via the Rubicon and Plato canals, a trip that takes just 20 minutes. |
