Naples is an odd mix of wealth and poverty and everything in between.
Fourteen mansions are currently available for more than $10 million each.

Some well-located houses are bought for more than a million dollars and

And, some well-maintained old cottages sleep contentedly
where they were placed 50 - 75 years ago.
This looks perfect! I'll take an old style beach cottage over a mansion any day.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful cottage. I agree with Sue. Don't want a mansion. But can one afford house insurance, even on a cottage?
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a rift. But I guess this is more and more common with the economy today.

I like that little cottage. It looks like a great little winter retreat.
ReplyDeleteGuess I'm just a "cottage" person, too -- I like nice, well kept ones, but the idea of roaming around in a mansion just isn't my cup of tea or wine or whatever. Great shots of the cottage! Enjoy your weekend, Jack!!
ReplyDeleteYup, I'm with the others Jack..a cottage would be juuuust fine!
ReplyDeleteI am getting in the cottage line, too, Jack. Love these photos with the shadows of the fence and the pergola. I guess that's a pergola.
ReplyDeleteLovely seaside cottage!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the real estate market here in Toronto! I like the cottage too, Jack, although I bet some of those expensive places are beauties.
ReplyDeleteThe cottage has far more appeal than a beachfront mansion.
ReplyDeleteThis could only be at the seaside. Looks much cosier than a mansion.
ReplyDeleteShort on landscaping. Tell them to knock off $100k.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of these cottages not far from the sea...
ReplyDeleteMansions are fun to look at - like art museums. But this cottage looks homey and manageable. I'll take it!
ReplyDeleteI know that I would be very content in this cottage.
ReplyDeleteAs RedPat said, sounds a LOT like Toronto. ;))
ReplyDeleteYes, I could imagine the cottage to be a home. Not so a mansion.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! During the last couple of real estate booms in California there were many older homes all over some of the more "desirable" areas that were bought as teardowns, often replaced with ego palaces.
ReplyDeleteLike cottage just fine too!
ReplyDeletewhen we drove through florida we were indeed amazed at what we saw... and so many abandoned places!!
