More Details about the Villa
This custom home was built in 2004 on an over-size lot to a high quality specification. It is on a corner lot at 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 waterfront from the living areas and the patio/pool area. The rooms have high ceilings and 8-ft doors. The sliding glass doors that give onto the patio 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 screened 1,000 sq ft deck area. 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 Jacussi-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.
Entertainment systems in the house include three TVs each with an integrated DVD player. Comcast cable TV is piped in and the subscription includes BBC-USA. There is also a stereo audio system (radio and CD) in the formal living room. Internet access is by a wireless broadband connection. The DECT wireless phones offer free phone calls throughout the USA and they operate well throughout the house, patio and dock areas.
The boat is a Hurricane Sundeck 2200 (22ft 8in) 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 Rubican and Plato canals, a trip that takes just 20 minutes.
The 3-car garage has 10 ft electrically-operated doors (remote control supplied) which means there’s plenty of room for your cars in addition to the pool toys, bicycles and fishing rods that you will find there.
The kitchen is completely equipped with plenty of crockery, cutlery and glassware and, of course, all the appliances. Everything you need for a wonderful, relaxing vacation is right here. In fact, in the unlikely event that you find you need something else, a phone call to our friendly, local managing agents is all it will take for help to arrive.
