“We
are seeing stronger and more frequent hurricanes,” notes Sherie
S. Weidner, explaining how rising ocean temperatures are reshaping
coastal design. “By exceeding minimum requirements wherever possible, we
aim to stay ahead of the climate curve.”
Echoing
this commitment, Curtis
Gunther adds, “In a previous project, raising the base elevation just
two feet above code requirements prevented significant storm damage, whereas
neighboring properties faced extensive flooding.”
Now
completed at 5921 Estero Blvd, this three-level, four-bedroom estate epitomizes
modern coastal luxury while seamlessly integrating biophilic design elements,
smart home technology, and structural resilience.
Grand
Opening Celebration – March 6, 2025
To
commemorate the completion of this groundbreaking project, Imperial
Homes will host an exclusive Grand
Opening event at 5921 Estero Blvd on March 6th, 2025.
Guests will enjoy, guided tours of the home, meet and greet with the designer
and construction teams while enjoying refreshments and light bites. A can’t
miss! This is more than a home—it’s a vision for the future of luxury coastal
living.
A
Design-Forward Approach to Coastal Living
Beyond
its structural innovations, this home is a masterclass in luxurious,
coastal-inspired design.
Upon
arrival, guests are greeted by warm wood-accented ceilings and a striking
living moss wall, setting the tone for a natural, effortless flow throughout
the home with back to nature vibes, the signatures of carefree beach living.
At the heart of the space, an organically designed staircase ascends toward
the second floor living area, featuring, a luxurious wine bar adjacent
to a sunset viewing lounge. A state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen and a stunning
stone feature wall in the great room. Glass doors create a natural break
between the main living area and an additional game room with further entertainment
capabilities and views of Ft. Myers Beach. The game room and its stunning
architectural ceiling design continues the modern, organic beach vibes.
Two generous sized guest bedrooms with on-suite baths, a powder bathroom,
and a full laundry room complete the second level.
The
third-floor private primary suite is a beach lover’s sanctuary, with spa-like
aesthetics and expansive Gulf views. The third level offers an additional
guest bedroom with on-suite bath, dedicated coffee bar, second laundry
room, and functional office space for remote business needs.
Outdoor
Living Elevated
True
to its signature coastal lifestyle, the home’s first-floor outdoor space
was designed as an entertainment oasis, featuring a covered lanai with
a full outdoor kitchen, two large-screen televisions, a resort-style pool
and hot tub along with a ping pong table.
