Concierge brokers Dante DiSabato and Frank Sajtar of William Raveis Real Estate are proud to present 3320 Rum Row. If you love stately transitionals designed to both aesthetically and physically stand the test of time, you must see this Port Royal masterpiece. The brand new single-family residence, created by Limitless Development, is everything you could ask for in Southwest Florida’s most exclusive community.

Drawn by Kukk Design & Architecture, built by A. Vernon Allen Builders and designed by Lisa Kahn Designs, the 7,019-square-foot, five bedroom (plus den and loft), eight (5/3) bath home is nestled on .48 acre and features 112 feet of water frontage, placing you just minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. It is the epitome of the Naples indoor/outdoor lifestyle.

The two-story home is a veritable master class in style and quality thanks to design touches that combine the glamour of Old Hollywood with the craftsmanship of a Newport, R.I., estate. From its powerful front elevation featuring four fountains bookending a luxurious motor court, to its resort-like outdoor living spaces (featuring a sunken fire pit lounge in the pool), the property was created for those who appreciate the best in life. Just walking from the gorgeous great room with gray quartzite media wall (featuring a 72-inch linear fireplace) into its custom dining room with handcrafted and backlit wine wall, it’s easy to see the spaces were thoughtfully created for a discerning owner.

Exquisite multi-tone wood flooring throughout sets the stage beneath 11-foot ceilings. Its chef-grade kitchen features a large island finished in a heritage blue hue with a butcher-block surface, while the main counter surfaces are light quartzite set against crisp white cabinetry. Behind the scenes, an expansive butler’s pantry holds all the tools you need for successful entertaining: dishwasher, sinks, wine refrigeration, icemaker, microwave, steam oven, warming drawer, and extensive storage. It conveniently opens onto the outdoor kitchen and bar area. A large first floor master suite offers dazzling views of the pool and waterway and features a walk-in steam shower with two built-in quartz benches.

“The home also features a full pool bath, two full-sized laundry rooms (one on each floor), an elevator, a second floor club room (with wet bar) and even an upstairs powder bath,” says Dante DiSabato, a partner in Limitless Development with his father, Mark DiSabato.

“It’s really perfect for families or a couple with grandkids who visit,” adds DiSabato. “With four bedrooms upstairs, plus the clubroom/loft, it gives you room to spread out. And even though it is 7,019 square feet, it doesn’t feel overwhelming. It’s still cozy. It’s classic. It’s rich. You feel the quality.”

In addition, the home features southwestern exposure, a five-car garage and qualifies for Port Royal Club membership.

Offered at $13.65M. This property is one of many listings that can be viewed in greater detail at DanteDiSabato.com and FrankSajtar.com. Dante DiSabato, a leader in the Naples market with more than $500 million in sales, is known for personalized customer service and tireless dedication before and after the sale.

The post A Must-See Masterpiece Home In Naples By Dante DiSabato appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

2020 didn't go as expected in any regards. But based on how 2020 ended, how is the Naples market shaping up for 2021?

The 2021 market is shaping up to blow 2020 out of the water. The start of it currently is moving at a pace that Naples has never seen. There is a lack of inventory and the buyers don’t stop coming. We are very lucky to be in this position right now.

What are clients currently asking for in Naples?

I am getting a little bit of everything from condo, to villa, to single-family. I would say the majority is a single-family buyer as people want their own space. I would say a variety like the walkability to downtown or a country club community.

What's one new part of the market you've noticed in 2020 that you expect to continue and expand into 2021?

The amount of buyers that we have right now is unreal. It doesn’t seem to stop and I believe it will continue.

You’ve mentioned that inventory is low, how does that impact the market and how do you guide clients in order to make the right decisions?

Inventory IS at an ALL TIME LOW right now. It makes the market a true seller's market and a challenge for the normal Naples buyer that isn’t used to bidding wars, losing properties or paying close to asking pice. I have warned my clients to be ready willing and able to pull the trigger if something comes up that they want or else it will be gone.

What’s happening in Naples that keeps it so popular?

I would say No. 1 is its location and accessibility. Its amenities (i.e. shopping, dining, golf courses, sandy beaches, and entertainment) make it a place that is unlike any other. It is also what I call a very safe, small and quaint growing beach town with $65 million properties!

As a developer as well as a Realtor, are your new homes changing in order to adapt to the change in lifestyles?

Yes, they are. I keep trying to continue to be original and bring product that Naples has never seen before vs. the same old stuff. It is tougher and harder but worth it in the end to create something special.

The post A Stylish And Spacious Naples, FL Home By Dante DiSabato appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

To bring some clarity, Haute Residence talked with Dante DiSabato, Naples-based luxury real estate agent with William Raveis Real Estate, who shares his approach to presenting lavish estates on the market and not letting them pine on it for long.

What makes a home a luxury property?

I think it depends on the market that you are selling. And, frankly, the term “Luxury Property” gets thrown around a lot by agents and by sellers. I think that usually a luxury property is $1 million and up in price point or the top 10% of your market area.

What considerations go into pricing a luxury home? What factors influence the pricing?

There are all different factors regarding the pricing of a luxury home. For an area such as Naples, Florida the main factor would be location. There are additional factors like view, size, age, style, etc. But there are usually comparables, which help influence the price.

The condos and penthouses at 875 9th St S Naples, Florida 34102 range from $1,699,000 to $2,875,000. Offered by Dante DiSabato / Courtesy of Dante DiSabato

How do you approach the marketing of the home? Do you have any rules/principles you follow?

I have come up with a method to my madness when it comes to marketing a luxury property. This took years to create and it continues to adapt as technology changes and the market changes. It also depends on the demographic that I feel would be purchasing the home. It all starts with the photography, video tours, and ads that are put out in a systematic order to create the greatest viewership.

Some professionals say that there are good and bad times to list a luxury property depending on its location. Do you agree? Is there a most propitious time to list a luxury home in your region?

In Naples / Southwest Florida the best time would be to list around Thanksgiving and keep the listing through our season, which usually lasts just past Easter. However, lately due to weather, our season has lasted a longer period of time and people are staying longer and purchasing later in the season. It is good exposure to start in the fall though.

Professional photography and staging seems to be a must, especially for high-end properties. Today, 3D tours are becoming popular too. What is your advice to sellers when it comes to this aspect of marketing that is often at the core of the home presentation?

I would highly recommend professional photography as it is the first thing that a potential buyer looks at. 3D tours and video tours are becoming popular as well and I would suggest all of these to a seller when marketing a property. The better your home looks, thanks to quality photography and video, the more attractive it is to potential buyers, which, in turn, makes them want to schedule a visit.

When executing a marketing campaign, is there a right mix of online promotion, print and relying on a realtor’s built network? What is your approach?

My approach is very different than others in my market as I would say I have a mix of all three when it comes to marketing. I have a very high online, magazine and newspaper presence, and a very large Realtor network that I have been leveraging for years. All of these aspects play a part in my plan. However, if the property is not priced correctly it will not sell.

Do open houses help sell luxury homes? Why yes/no?

Yes. I like to hold the properties open as much as possible to get potential buyers in to tell the story of value or what this property offers versus others on the market. If you can give the facts to a potential buyer while standing in front of them it is better than any marketing in the paper, social media or Realtor network.
