7724 Jewel Ln Y102, NAPLES

Swaying palm trees and glistening lakes are the backdrop for this in-town community featuring tennis, pickleball, two pools, a community room — and lower quarterly fees by comparison. Emerald Lakes in North Naples is nestled within the southwest corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Airport-Pulling Road, set back from the hustle and bustle of midtown activity, and just a few miles west on 'Vanderbilt Beach' to the destination of the same name at the foot of the Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort, passing — passing Mercato for shopping, entertainment, and dining along the way. Residents and their guests can enter the community along winding, beautifully landscaped entrances from Airport-Pulling Road and Orange Blossom Road, with easy access to restaurants, and a Collier County Library with local government for licenses, tax payments, and beach passes. Wake to wide, water and sky views from this first floor condo offering nature's ever-changing array of sunrises over a large lake—sunsets, too, reflecting off of the community's eastern residences (and clouds if you're lucky enough to catch them). The entire condo has just been painted a soft white, including closets and laundry room, with new cordless blinds in the bedrooms and kitchen, and new sheer draperies in the bedrooms and living room. All flooring has been updated—manufactured wood-look planks in the entry, kitchen, and main living area, carpeting in the bedrooms, and wide plank tile in the bathrooms. New vanities and light fixtures are in place in both bathrooms, and the primary shower has just been replaced with a Jacuzzi™ shower, known for quality construction elements offering long-lasting durability and style. Additional interior updates include cosmetic considerations for a new owner. Before professional painting, original wire closet racks and anchors were removed (outlet covers, too), with holes patched for a clean install on new shelving. Cordless, wood-look blinds replaced the original treatments that had passed their prime (and an update to the muni-code), while new fans now match in the bedrooms and living room, and delicate sheers frame the bedroom windows—all in crisp white. New lighting fixtures and fans, as well as new entry door hardware and interior door handles to complement and nearly complete the new style. The current owners have done just about everything but the kitchen (and) sink.
