Olde Naples Cottage Retreat: Just three blocks from Fifth Avenue South's restaurants and shops and six blocks from the Gulf beaches, this beautifully renovated five-bedroom, four-bath residence is walkable Olde Naples living at its best. Set well back from the road amid lush tropical landscaping, the home has the secluded feel of a secret garden, and it sits directly across from Cambier Park. Inside, the open floor plan features vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, Dade County pine floors, and timeless beadboard details, an inviting setting for entertaining and family gatherings. Outside, wraparound covered porches provide shaded spots to relax with a morning coffee or an evening cocktail, while a heated pool, multiple lounge areas, and a manicured lawn make for easy indoor-outdoor living, with a stroll to dinner or the sand just minutes away. Rich in Olde Naples history, the home underwent an extensive restoration and expansion that earned the national top prize in Better Homes & Gardens' 1992 Home Improvement Contest. It has also been elevated for flood protection, and recent improvements include a new metal roof and main air-conditioning system, both installed in 2025. A walk-up attic offers flexible space for an office, game room, or art studio. With its character, privacy, and an excellent rental record, this is a rare chance to own a distinctive home just blocks from the best of Naples.
