6526 Ilex Cir., Naples, FL 34109

Some homes and settings simply feel SPECIAL - and this exceptional Southern exposure home on its 22-acre lake delivers, with sophisticated recent renovations AND one of the best two lake views in Walden Oaks! One of the largest homes in the neighborhood, this extraordinary 1-story home boasts large bright rooms with 12 ft. ceilings and 8 ft. doors, including 3 BRs (one furnished as den), 3 full baths, an open oversized great room which the owners have had furnished to include a grand piano plus couches, multiple dining areas, and an expansive pavered lanai with recent Picture Window Super Screen. Photos just don't do justice to the expansive panoramic and private views! The stylishly renovated kitchen showcases quartz countertops, white cabinetry with pullouts, drawers, and glass fronts, newer upgraded stainless appliances including a wine cooler, and breakfast bar plus sun-filled breakfast nook. Other recent updates are 2 new zoned ACs as of 2025 and 2024, water heater approx. one year old, pulldown stairs plus epoxy floor in the garage, crown molding throughout, and remote control shades in the living room. Although in the X zone, hurricane rated doors have been thoughtfully installed on the rear side of the home facing the lake. The roof is approx. 10 years old and the house was repiped in 2024! The oversized Owner's bathroom has been recently renovated with a huge walk-in shower (wheelchair accessible) and dual vanities, and the walk-in closet features custom closets. Both guest baths also reflect recent tasteful renovations you'll love. Walden Oaks residents enjoy an island community pool, clubhouse, and tennis/pickleball all just a short stroll from the home (you passed it just at the end of Ilex Cir.). It's a very quiet and peaceful community with extensive walking paths under the oak trees around the various large lakes, and very low Association fees which include lawn/landscaping and irrigation! VERY CENTRALLY LOCATED in Naples, Walden Oaks offers sought-after and convenient schools, as well as easy access to all of the reasons we love Naples - Old Naples, Mercato, Venetian Village, Artis, and less than 15 minutes to the beach!
