Set on a quiet cul-de-sac along the mature tree-lined streets of the Villages of Monterey, this beautifully updated lakefront pool home in North Naples offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and more than 3,300 sqft under air, all on one level.  Northwest exposure brings warm afternoon light and colorful evening skies over the water, while many of the home's major improvements have already been completed.  Monterey is a 24-hour guard-gated community in a highly central North Naples location near Vanderbilt Beach, Mercato, Waterside Shops and Artis-Naples with an extensive collection of recreational and social amenities.  Major improvements include a whole-home PEX repipe (2025), whole-home reverse-osmosis water system, PGT impact-resistant windows (2025), water heater with recirculation pump (2025), extra-wide Provenza European White Oak flooring (2026) and fresh interior paint (2026) plus A/C and tile roof replaced in 2018.  The home is concrete block construction and sits outside the Special Flood Hazard Area in Zone X500.  Inside, high ceilings and lots of natural light complement a spacious split-bedroom floor plan with distinct living areas that just flow really well together.  A bay window in the living room overlooks the backyard and lake, complemented by new interior doors, upgraded casings and 8-inch baseboards throughout.  The updated kitchen features white cabinetry, marble countertops, a large emerald green quartzite center island, breakfast bar, stainless appliances and pantry.  The same quartzite is carried through to the fireplace surround.  The oversized master suite offers room for a sitting area, a large walk-in closet and a renovated bath with dual vanities, freestanding soaking tub and walk-in shower.  A private guest suite includes its own full bath and walk-in closet, while the fourth bedroom is currently configured as an office and works equally well as a study, guest room or flex space.  Outside, the screened outdoor living area features a heated saltwater pool, covered seating and dining areas, an outdoor bar and a dedicated pool bath, all overlooking the lake.  A fenced side yard provides additional usable outdoor space.  Monterey offers 24-hour staffed gate access, nearly two miles of walking and biking paths, a redesigned clubhouse with gathering spaces, bar area, catering kitchen and library, a well-equipped fitness center, year-round heated lap pool, three lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, basketball and a playground.  An active social calendar includes community gatherings, cooking events, food truck nights, holiday celebrations and other resident activities.  HOA dues also include Hotwire basic TV and high-speed internet service.  Discover waterfront living in one of North Naples' most established gated communities.  Schedule your private showing at 7657 Ponte Verde Way today.
