Description

Step into a rare piece of Naples history with this exquisitely renovated coastal cottage, once owned by legendary interior designer Albert Hadley. As co-founder of the iconic Parish-Hadley firm, Hadley designed interiors for luminaries including Jackie Kennedy and Brooke Astor—an artistic legacy that continues to resonate throughout this remarkable property. Blending historic charm with modern luxury, the thoughtfully updated main residence offers three bedrooms and two baths, with inviting spaces designed for both relaxed living and elegant entertaining. The chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and premium finishes, while a newly designed wet bar in the dining room—complete with a Sub-Zero wine refrigerator and double beverage drawers—creates the perfect setting for hosting guests. The first-floor bath has been beautifully reimagined with Kohler fixtures, and the second-floor bath offers the same level of refined sophistication. Designed to embrace Naples’ indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the screened porch serves as an extension of the living space, complete with a SunBrite outdoor television and custom furnishings. Overlooking the sun-drenched pool and patio, the space is framed by lush tropical landscaping and desirable southern exposure. A private guest cottage provides exceptional flexibility for family and visitors, featuring a bespoke kitchenette, built-in queen bed with storage, separate bunk room, and a fully remodeled bath. Recent upgrades include a new roof, updated HVAC system, tankless water heater, outdoor shower, complete dormer replacement, extensive subfloor and tile renovations, and a whole-house water filtration system. Timeless architectural details abound, including custom wool rugs, plantation shutters, crown molding, and French doors. A charming white picket fence, alley access, garage, and covered carport enhance both curb appeal and convenience. Ideally located just three blocks from Naples' pristine beaches and a short stroll from the renowned dining, shopping, and entertainment of Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South, this property offers an unparalleled Old Naples lifestyle. Whether enjoyed as a full-time residence or a luxury retreat accommodating 14+ guests, this is a truly rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Naples history.
