Listed by Tim Scott of Equity Realty for $4.395 million, this home has an open floor plan that flows seamlessly to the outdoor living area offering lake views. It features four bedrooms plus a den, six bathrooms and a three-car-garage with 4,891 square feet of living space, all controlled by a Control 4 home automation system.
The Davanti mahogany door opens to a grand entrance that features a vaulted ceiling with decorative beams and tongue-and-groove wood work, a Knauf-Koenig Group signature. To the right is a powder bath and den. To the left is a separate dining room with a full, custom-made bar in a driftwood finish.
The kitchen's high-end finishes include Ruffino custom cabinets, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and quartz counter tops. The kitchen and great room both open to the outdoor living areas via Andersen sliding glass doors.
Rounding out the first floor is the private master suite with water views. The spa-like master bath includes a generous soaking tub, shower with glass mosaic tile, and a walk-in closet large enough for even the most dedicated fashionista.
Walking through this home, you can immediately notice that Knauf-Koenig Group specifies only the finest products in their homes. Glass interior door transoms, a premium Andersen 400 Series window package, and Legno Bastone wide plank wood flooring in the St. Moritz style are just a few more of the many fine points that illustrate Knauf-Koenig Group’s attention to detail.
The white oak staircase to the second story leads to three guest rooms with en suite bathrooms and walk-in closets. The two guest bedrooms at the back of the house share a covered balcony that overlooks the pool, spa and lake. The front guest room has its own balcony and acts as a VIP guest suite.
The outdoor living area offers a tranquil setting with lake views. The pool, spa and fire pit are surrounded by landscaping designed by architect Kevin Schafer Landscape Design. Rounding out the outdoor living experience is a Lynx grill and bar that seats four.
Calusa Bay Design, a luxury boutique interior design firm in Naples, furnish this custom home. In keeping with the home's British West Indies style, the team chose a coastal transitional elegance with soft spa colors throughout. This neutral palette complements the homes wide plank wood floors, millwork, and floor-to-ceiling windows, which flood the home with natural light. Interesting textures and pops of color complete the look.
This Park Shore custom home offers a great location, lifestyle, and built with quality construction.

The company has broken ground on six custom homes in the first quarter of 2017. The houses span from Pelican Bay south to Port Royal with retail prices ranging from $4 to $10 million.
Naples based architectural firms, Stofft Cooney and Falcon Design, and interior design companies, Calusa Bay Design and Clive Daniel Home, are showcasing their talents on the custom homes that range from 5,000 square feet to more than 10,000 square feet.
Each home will feature four to five bedrooms, six to seven bathrooms and a three-car-garage along with many luxurious finishes that have become synonymous with a Knauf-Koenig Group project. Theater rooms, libraries, wine cellars and even a fly fishing room are just a few of the amenities. Outdoor living areas will be vast at every home with the pool and spa being the main focus. Add to all of this alfresco dining, summer kitchens and fire pits, and the homes’ exterior will be as luxurious as their interior.
With seven more homes well underway in the mid-construction phase, and seven recently completed, that puts the company in position to continue building off its 2016 record-breaking year.
Having broken into the highly competitive Port Royal market was another big accomplishment and one that Matt Knauf believes could be a game changer for his company. "Getting the opportunity to build in Port Royal was huge for us. We’re very thankful and honored to be chosen by the homeowner to build their custom home. Hopefully it will be the first of many to come in the future," he said.
Knauf-Koenig Group is one of the leading luxury homebuilders in Naples. As a licensed general contractor, they specialize in building one of the finest custom homes in the area. They have seen a steady rise over the past two decades to the top of their sector.
