The Traditional Diamond
 3820 Surfside Blvd, Cape Coral 

Description & Details:

This high-class residence, built in 2009, stands out with its unique architectural style. It is neither an old-fashioned building nor one of the new ultra-modern designs. Instead, it is a true American traditional-style icon—an exceptionally rare find in Cape Coral.

Key Features:

  • 5,220 sqft of living space, showcasing extreme high-class materials.
  • 8 fireplaces for warmth and ambiance.
  • 8 oil-painted copies of masterpieces by Rembrandt and Monet, plus 5 original works by renowned artist W. Jones.


Description:

Luxury waterfront living! Custom-built waterfront home with direct Gulf access, designed and built with integrity by the previous owner's building company—so you can be sure NOTHING has been overlooked! High-end luxury features can be found throughout this sprawling 2-story home: an elevator, a handmade iron door at the front entry, gorgeous marble flooring with custom granite inlay, wrought iron railing on the staircase, a gourmet kitchen with commercial-grade KitchenAid appliances (gas range with griddle and custom vent, pot filler, double convection wall ovens, warming drawer, dishwasher and dish drawer, and wine cooler), eight fireplaces, beautiful custom millwork, a well-equipped gym, a new theater room, central vacuum, volume and tray ceilings, plantation shutters, high-end light fixtures, remote control fans, laundry rooms on both floors, a generator that powers almost the entire home with a switch, Kevlar storm protection on the lanai, impact windows/doors, and more!

Stunning outdoor living space offering a summer kitchen, full pool bath, infinity-edge pool with spa, picture window screens, and a huge open lanai lining the boat dock with captain's walk and a 12,000 lb boat lift. Wonderful coastal setting that is one of a kind—a fantastic place to relax and unwind, gather with family, and entertain!
 

History of the Home:

I purchased this stunning property in 2021 from the widow of a highly respected home builder in Cape Coral, who had made it his private residence. This ensured that the best materials were used in its construction.

  • Over 4,000 sqft of marble and travertine flooring.
  • 1,300 sqft of thick mahogany wood flooring.
  • A 2,000 sqft pool area, fully covered with travertine and built in concrete to withstand hurricanes.


Hurricane Durability:
The house is located in a prime area, just steps from the Gulf of Mexico, and is protected by a scenic mangrove landscape. It is one of the tallest houses on the street and sustained only minor damage during the last hurricane. The repair costs after Hurricane Ian were approximately $5,000—far below the $200,000+ damages incurred by most neighboring homes.

This residence is built like a castle.

 

Renovations and Furnishings

After purchasing it in 2021, I renovated and furnished the home over 10 months, investing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Nearly everything is new.

The house is being sold fully furnished.

Living Area: 5,222 sqft under air



Price: $2,790,000

For Sale by Owner:

  • I will include everything: over 15 oil paintings, a new white piano, and all décor in the house (excluding cars and motorcycles in the garage).
  • You will receive the house key directly.

The highlight of the home’s collection is a very old and large oil painting of Rembrandt's "The Night Watch" (I bought it as a 19th-century copy/not varified). I purchased this artwork over 35 years ago at an auction in Europe, where it was described as originating from a historic castle in the Netherlands. It has been a treasured piece in all my homes.
 

Showings

Due to the high value of this property, showings will be arranged privately by me, the owner. Please visit the attached website for further details and a complete description of the house, including a list of renovations and upgrades.

 

Fair Pricing

The price of $2,790,000 is competitive. The property was valued at over $3,300,000 a year ago.

  • Current market conditions do not necessitate a rushed sale, so significant discounts will not be entertained.
  • This residence, in its exceptional quality, could not be rebuilt for less than $3,750,000 - $4,000,000 — excluding the $750,000–$800,000 lot in one of Cape Coral’s most sought-after locations.

Thank you for your interest, and perhaps we’ll meet soon!
