UPENDI, A Special Place In Your Heart, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

I have to show you this one with a little disclaimer, this home was not chosen as an estate of the day for its fine interior decor. In fact, if you have an aversion to bright colors and Miami VIce funhouse styling, don't click through. From the exterior this home on Captiva Island, Florida looks like your basic big white beach house but inside it is a carnival of color. The five-bedroom home has a huge great room with a dominated by giant windows showcasing an ocean view that must compete for attention with a swath of team carpeting. There is a tunnel-like home theater, formal dining room, breakfast room, office and more all decorated in a gumball colors. The home has a pool and spa, six-car garage and a beautiful boardwalk leading down to the beach. it is listed at $6.995 million.

For the next couple of weeks we will be checking out some homes in the most expensive zip codes in the United States, up today, 33924. This zip code brings us to Captiva Island, Florida a spit of land stretching into the Gulf of Mexico. This tranquil and warm area has a median price of $2,060,000 with an appreciation rate of 382% since 1990.

Captiva island is reached by car via the Sanibel Causeway and Sanibel-Captiva Road. Its location makes it a bit of a hurricane magnet and the island was damaged in 2004 when Hurricane Charley rolled through. That doesn't stop people from building some huge houses though. Case in point, today's estate, a large three-story home with six bedrooms. The overall decor relies far too much on the beige but the home does have a salt water aquarium, gourmet kitchen, elevator, arched gallery, marble floors and big mahogany double doors. The swimming pool includes a spa and an area for in-water dining and most importantly a short walk brings you directly to the Captiva Isand's famously beautiful white sand beaches. This property is listed at $10,900,000.
