The Edwards Residence located in Estero FL is a 3-story traditional with Coastal influence, seen in elevated living spaces, a hipped metal roof with bracketed soffit, and fine finished stucco cladding. Front and rear porches on the habitable levels enhance communication with the outdoors. Vaulted ceilings, stucco columns, and stainless-steel cable railings dress the porches nicely.
A bifurcated formal entry stair adorns the lower facade. An elevator and staircase towards the front of the house accommodate private access from the garage to the living spaces. A generous distribution of windows permits abundant natural light throughout. Bedrooms and suites are located on the second floor, leaving the third-floor open plan to provide the kitchen, dining and living room spaces, all below a cathedral ceiling.
Also on this level are an office, pantry and half bathroom. Both the second and third floor have coffered ceiling areas with fans and recessed lighting throughout.
