Gordon Drive The apex — direct Gulf frontage, 800ft+ shoreline on largest lots. Home to the 2025 $133M and $225M records. Kitchen budgets routinely exceed $385K with single-source exotic stone, commissioned European cabinetry, and dual main/prep layouts. Gin Lane Treasure Cove and Hidden Bay waterfront. Home to London Bay’s 2025 $24.95M estate at 3240 Gin Lane. Modern contemporary dominates current new construction — Stofft Cooney-designed kitchens with Wolf/Sub-Zero and Kukk Architecture layouts. Galleon Drive Naples Bay views on the eastern flank. Northern end carries most historic 1960s–1970s original construction — deep reconfig projects common. 2025 sales included $15.5M at 1241 Galleon with 4BR/7.5BA at 4,376 sqft. Fort Charles Drive Premier interior waterfront street. 2025 sales: $22M at 3565 Fort Charles (8,960 sqft, 6BR/9.5BA) and $20.5M at 3525 Fort Charles. Best-tier commissioned kitchens are the norm. Rum Row One of the pirate-themed original streets. Wide-water Treasure Cove views. New Waterside Builders / Stofft Cooney construction running contemporary with Jeffrey Fisher interior design — sets the 2025 design language for the community. Spyglass Lane Quieter interior cul-de-sac feel with substantial water frontage. Building envelopes support 8,000+ sqft estates. Kitchen scope typically estate-scale with butler’s pantry, prep kitchen, and outdoor summer kitchen integration. Kings Town · Kingstown Crescent Bayfront with 100’+ water frontage typical. Yacht-dockable depth. Older 1970s–1980s homes on these streets often approach full-teardown consideration, but thoughtful reconfigs preserve the Howard Major original architecture while updating interiors. Cove Lane · Man of War Cove Interior waterfront with long water views. 2025 sales include $13M at 225 Cove Lane (7,454 sqft). Kitchen-to-lanai pocket-slider integration is a defining feature — every remodel here factors water views into the scope. Buccaneer’s Roost · Treasure Cove Original Sample-named streets echoing the Jamaican pirate theme. Older original estate homes in these pockets — 1950s–1960s Bermuda-style cottages — often become rare restoration projects rather than reconfigs, where we preserve Henry Harding original details.

About Port Royal Homes We Remodel ## Every Port Royal Kitchen RemodelStarts Here. Port Royal isn’t a community — it’s **America’s highest-end waterfront address**. Developer John Glen Sample, a retired Chicago advertising executive, began acquiring mangrove marshland at Naples’ southern tip in 1938, eventually assembling roughly 2 square miles for approximately $50,000. Through the late 1940s and 1950s he funded $3.5M in dredging and canal excavation, shaping the finger-like peninsulas and deep-water waterways that now define the neighborhood. His ambition, in his own words: *“to make Port Royal the finest place in the world to live.”* Today approximately **500 estate-sized residences** fill those lots, bounded by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and Naples Bay to the east with no bridges to the open Gulf — making Port Royal one of the few true deep-water yachting communities on the Florida coast. The original architectural language, set by Palm Beach architects Howard Major and Henry Harding under Sample’s direction, was **Bermuda and British Colonial** — “small jewels” about 3,000 sqft in size. Sample feared someone might build too small. He could not have anticipated 2025’s $133M and $225M sales. The **Port Royal Club** — Sample’s 1959 beachfront centerpiece — remains the social anchor. Initiation $250K, annual dues $13K. Members get beach, tennis, dining, and a calendar that starts mid-August and runs through mid-July. The Club’s reopening in 2025 after renovation is expected to add 5–10% appreciation to Port Royal values between late 2025 and mid-2026. For kitchen remodels, Port Royal homes fall into three clear vintages: **1950s–1970s Bermuda originals** (restoration candidates with original Howard Major / Henry Harding details), **1980s–2000s rebuilds** (full teardown-and-rebuild decade where most current inventory was created), and **2010s–2025 new construction** (contemporary Stofft Cooney, Kukk Architecture, London Bay, Waterside Builders with near-perfect kitchens that still benefit from stone and appliance refreshes at 5–7 years).

Do I need Port Royal Property Owners Association approval to remodel my kitchen? For interior-only work, PRPOA approval is not typically required — you permit directly through City of Naples. Any exterior change (new windows, pocket-door systems, modifications visible from the street or water) does require PRPOA architectural review, which honors the original John Glen Sample deed restrictions: no flat roofs, no tin roofs, no modern architecture that departs from the Bermuda / British Colonial vocabulary on visible exterior elevations. Interior design direction is entirely open. We handle all PRPOA documentation. My 1995 Port Royal home has an original kitchen. Remodel or tear down? For a 1995 Port Royal home, the math depends on lot value vs existing structure value. In many cases the lot alone represents 60–85% of the total property value, which means a full teardown-and-rebuild can make more sense than deep remodel. But kitchen-forward renovation with structural reconfig typically returns 72–80% ROI against Port Royal comps and avoids 18–24 months of rebuild construction. We model both scenarios during the free planning session. What’s the right budget if I’m planning to sell in 3 years? At Port Royal’s $15.5M median sale and a 3-year horizon, the Better tier at $286K is the floor for non-waterfront estates. Gulf-frontage and Gordon Drive-tier properties should budget $347K–$423K+ minimum — the comparative set there runs $20M–$45M+ and cannot be safely underspent. Non-waterfront bayside or interior-cove homes can land closer to the Good tier at $171K–$206K with careful scope. Can I install a La Cornue range in my Port Royal kitchen? Yes — La Cornue (Château or CornuFé) is the most-specified range in new Port Royal construction. Installation requires dedicated 60-amp electrical service, 1" gas line for LP conversion, oversized venting through structural roof penetration (not soffit), and 18" minimum clearance on sides. Budget a few weeks lead time from Chagny factory in France. We maintain the SWFL distributor relationship for expedited lead times. How long does a Port Royal kitchen remodel take from contract to walkthrough? Better-tier Port Royal projects: a few weeks. Best-tier projects with commissioned European millwork and exotic single-source stone: a few weeks. European millwork fabrication and shipping runs a few weeks. Stone sourcing and quarry-to-countertop logistics add a few weeks for rare materials. City of Naples permitting plus PRPOA architectural review add a few weeks for any exterior work. Do you work on Gordon Drive and the Gulf-frontage estates? Yes — Gulf-frontage projects are where our commissioned-European-millwork and single-source-stone workflows are most at home. Projects at this tier coordinate closely with Stofft Cooney, Kukk Architecture, London Bay Homes, Waterside Builders, and Jeffrey Fisher Home / Romanza Interior Design when those firms are in play. Insurance requirements, hurricane-rated impact glass, FEMA elevation considerations, and elevated new-construction concrete detailing are all standard for us. Will a kitchen remodel trigger a property tax reassessment? Florida’s Save Our Homes cap protects homesteaded primary residences from taxable-value increases above 3% per year. An investment or second-home Port Royal property will see taxable-value adjustment at the next Collier County Property Appraiser cycle — and given the magnitude of Port Royal values, a full remodel can meaningfully shift assessed value. Confirm with your CPA during planning. Is InvisaCook appropriate for a Port Royal kitchen? InvisaCook is a recessed induction cooktop hidden beneath stone — popular in secondary prep kitchens, guest suite kitchenettes, and butler pantries where a visible cooktop isn’t desired. Main Port Royal show kitchens typically specify a visible La Cornue, Lacanche, or Wolf centerpiece range rather than InvisaCook. We’re Southwest Florida’s exclusive authorized dealer, installed across Port Royal secondary kitchens and family coffee bars. 9 YrsBest of Houzz 4.9★38 Reviews 500+Projects Done 80+Communities FreeLiDAR + 3D Scan Continue Your Port Royal Project ## Planning More Than a Kitchen?
