London Bay Homes’ new Port Royal estate emphasizes entertaining, resort-inspired outdoor living
London Bay Homes’ new showcase estate at 1207 Spyglass Lane in Port Royal refines Naples living with 109 feet of direct-Gulf-access waterfront on Runaway Bay and a design catering to elevated entertaining. Nearing completion, the home offers five bedrooms, five full baths, four half baths and two versatile studies. It also has a club room, an exercise studio and multiple wet bars. The estate spans 9,059 square feet under air and 11,529 total square feet, including a three-car garage and 1,500 square feet of covered outdoor living and balconies.
“A deep homesite gives this home great square footage and an expansive backyard with a variety of alfresco destinations, which really resonate with how people expect to spend their time in Naples,” said Toby Cloutier, director of business development for London Bay Homes, Naples’ premier award-winning custom homebuilder. “There are covered outdoor dining and living spaces, an outdoor kitchen, a fireplace with a TV above, lots of green space and water features in the backyard, and multiple open-air social areas, including one with a firepit.”
Featuring contemporary architecture with an island flair by Stofft Cooney Architects and fully furnished by Romanza Interior Design, the estate is minutes from the exclusive Port Royal Club, where members enjoy a private beach, dining, a pool, spa, fitness and tennis. Also nearby are Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South’s premier restaurants, world-class arts venues, famed shopping and social scenes.
An expansive, 60-foot resort-style pool, a separate spa and fountains, including one at the entry, emphasize the interplay of water between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating soft soundscapes throughout the estate. The two-story foyer introduces London Bay Homes’ open-concept design with entertaining and everyday spaces filled with natural light. The foyer opens to the first-floor study and powder room as well as the dining room overlooking the entry fountain. A stunning architectural staircase with glass railings floats to a landing.
The estate’s limestone flooring creates a neutral backdrop for Romanza Interior Design’s sophisticated selections, which include Italian Poliform cabinetry and closets, interior mahogany doors and window jambs, wood-beamed ceilings, white oak flooring throughout the second floor, and accents of green. “This home has a lot of rich wood tones paired with soft neutral finishes” said Cloutier.
For the consummate dinner host, the dining room features a wine bar with a trio of Sub-Zero refrigerators, a tasting table and a separate bar. The full-service prep kitchen provides convenient proximity and is outfitted with two wall ovens, a refrigerator, freezer, six-burner cooktop, two sinks, a refrigerator drawer, dishwasher and coffee system. “All of the work takes place behind the scenes, keeping the main kitchen clean and pristine,” said Cloutier. “This home also has a tucked-away powder bath, thoughtfully positioned for convenience.”
The spacious club room conveys a lounge-inspired setting and offers a wet bar with a trio of stools and an array of additional seating options overlooking the spa and pool. “People love club rooms as a separate entertaining space,” said Cloutier. “They are not as formal as a living room and fulfill a variety of scenarios. This one has a chat area with a game table as well as a sofa and a seating in a bay window.”
The estate’s open floor plan blends the great room, kitchen and café and is enhanced by walls of sliding glass opening to the covered outdoor living space. The chef’s inspired kitchen showcases a contemporary aesthetic with Poliform cabinetry and a large freestanding island with a Galley workstation sink. The room also offers a refrigerator-freezer, a microwave and a four-burner stove.
A raised fountain with five bubblers and an infinity-edge spillway elevates the ambiance of the alfresco living room which has a fireplace and TV. The covered outdoor space offers a dining area and an outdoor kitchen equipped with a gas grill, a warmer drawer, two burners and dual TVs enjoyed from a freestanding island with a dishwasher. Lush landscaping and grass impart privacy for open-air destinations, which include the spa, a firepit next to the fountain and multiple social and sun decks with chaises, sofas and a table encircled by four chairs. The custom-designed pool features a sun shelf and three fountains with cascading sheer descent waterfalls.
The exquisite master suite offers a dedicated sitting room and motorized Roman shades in the bedroom. Sliding glass doors open to a private covered terrace near the spa. The suite also boasts two boutique Poliform walk-in closets, one with a built-in island, two vanities and private water closets connected by a large double-entry glass shower. One side has a freestanding tub, an extended vanity with a refrigerator drawer and built-in dressing table. As an added convenience, the suite also features a large storage room ideal for luggage.
With a trio of glass walls overlooking the foyer, staircase and the water fountain at the entry, the second-floor study is dramatic and open. Sheer draperies provide privacy for the room, which also has built-in cabinetry in niches, a desk and sitting area with two lounge chairs.
Four ensuite bedrooms on the second floor include a VIP suite envisioned as a second master bedroom. The room opens to the 300-square-foot balcony showcasing views of the pool and Runaway Bay and features a windowed sitting area, dual walk-in closets and a well-appointed bathroom with a freestanding tub, shower, dual water closets and two vanities, one extended with a built-in dressing table.
The estate also offers an existing boat dock, an elevator, a generator and laundry rooms on each floor.
