This historic estate blends early-1900s character with over $1 MILLION in high-end upgrades, and qualifies for 100% bonus depreciation on FF&E values. Located on the northern tip of Pine Island, where the views simply do not get better. Water views from nearly every window, and the primary suite has panoramic views of Charlotte Harbor. With 2 BOAT SLIPS and lift access, entry into Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf is quick and easy. Some properties are easy to describe by bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage and comparable sales. 8241 Main Street is not one of them. Formerly known as the historic Bokeelia Tarpon Inn, this 4-bedroom, 5-bath waterfront estate on the northern end of Pine Island combines more than a century of Old Florida history with more than $1 million in improvements, restoration, design and modernization by the current owners. It may also be purchased turn-key, creating an unusual opportunity for a buyer who wants to begin enjoying the property without first undertaking years of renovation and furnishing. What makes 8241 Main Street particularly difficult to duplicate is not any single feature. It is the combination of history, waterfront setting, artistic character, boating access, privacy, flexibility and location within one of Southwest Florida's most distinctive island environments. HISTORY AND SETTING The home dates to 1914 and has evolved through generations of Pine Island history. Its identity has long been connected to Bokeelia's fishing heritage and the extraordinary waters surrounding the north end of the island. Today the residence retains the character and proportions of an earlier Florida while incorporating extensive modern improvements designed for comfort, resiliency and everyday use. The setting is exceptional. From the northern end of Pine Island, the property enjoys expansive water views, including panoramic views toward Charlotte Harbor from the primary suite. Water can be seen from many areas of the residence, creating a constant visual relationship between the home and the surrounding coastal environment. For boaters and anglers, the location opens into an extraordinary Southwest Florida water system. The property includes two boat slips with lift access and provides boating connections into the Charlotte Harbor, Matlacha Pass and greater Pine Island Sound region, with access toward Boca Grande, Cayo Costa, North Captiva, Captiva and the Gulf. This is an area whose fishing history stretches back generations and remains internationally associated with tarpon and some of Florida's most celebrated inshore and coastal fishing. THE RESIDENCE The experience begins before entering the home. The grand covered front area creates a natural place to sit, entertain, enjoy coastal breezes and take in the waterfront surroundings. Throughout the property, historic character has been preserved while new improvements have been incorporated with unusually thoughtful attention to materials and design. The gourmet kitchen is a centerpiece rather than simply a functional room. It features a Big Chill refrigerator and Big Chill Classic gas range, unlacquered brass hardware, a designer Zephyr ventilation hood with commercial-grade baffle system, brass pot filler, soapstone countertops and full-height soapstone backsplash, custom solid-wood cabinetry, glass-front upper cabinets, a custom integrated drainboard sink, restored antique pantry door, period-inspired leaded-glass transom and classic herringbone brick flooring. The principal living areas are bright, open and filled with natural light. Porcelain tile flooring and a Touchstone built-in electric fireplace complement the home's historic
