About this home
GOLF CART COMES WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE HOME! Tucked into the vibrant Verdana Village community, this exquisitely upgraded Amalfi model at 18656 Ives Drive proves you don't have to wait to build to own something truly special. With 4 bedrooms, a versatile upstairs loft, 3 full baths, and 2,606 square feet of impeccably finished living space, every inch tells a story of thoughtful craftsmanship. The current owners spared no detail. Custom wood-detail walls grace the entry, dining room, office, loft, and primary suite, while crown molding wraps the entire first floor. A striking entertainment build-out anchors the main living room with floating shelves and a fireplace, echoed by a second feature wall in the loft. The kitchen impresses with a gas range, quartz counters, abundant cabinetry, custom backsplash, and a shiplap-wrapped island, complemented by a stylish coffee bar with wine fridge. Carpet has been eliminated throughout—including the staircase—and matte black hardware ties the palette together. Just outside is a fully enclosed pool and spa retreat featuring color-changing LEDs, a tongue-and-groove wood lanai ceiling, and a custom outdoor fireplace built for evening gatherings. Fresh exterior paint, upgraded lighting, sealed pavers, and lush new landscaping complete the picture. Impact glass windows deliver peace of mind through any storm. Three bedrooms reside upstairs alongside the loft, while a fourth bedroom on the main level offers flexibility for guests. The location is equally compelling. Publix at The Shoppes at Verdana Village sits less than a mile away, with Miromar Outlets, Gulf Coast Town Center and Southwest Florida International Airport within a short drive. Residents enjoy a remarkable amenity center boasting an indoor sports complex with tennis, pickleball, and basketball, plus a fitness center and resort-style pool. This is move-in-ready Estero living, elevated by uncommon quality and finished with genuine care.
