This Pelican Bay home, with 3,500 square feet under air, now boasting five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, was reimagined as a stunning Old Florida cottage. Painted with Sherwin-William’s Front Porch, the Hubbardton Forge bubble glass globe sconces, metal roof, and lush native landscaping all add to the classic beach cottage charm.

John Cooney, partner at Stofft Cooney Architects, is very selective when it comes to working on renovation projects. “We do additions and alterations as they are arguably the future of our industry, but I prefer to work on renovations of homes that either we’ve previously designed or are specific requests from our preferred clients,” explains Cooney.

But in the case of this Pelican Bay home, with 3,500 square feet under air, now boasting five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, Cooney not only got to work with

one of those preferred clients, but was also happy to undertake this project because he was inspired by the opportunity to introduce an up-and-coming style into the community’s market.

“Calusa Bay Development is a long-term client of mine and the house had very good bones,” says Cooney, who reimagined what was originally a typical 1980s Pelican Bay build into a stunning Old Florida beach cottage.

“Many people who toured our Pelican Bay listings were asking us for a ‘new style’ option,” explains Taber Tagliasacchi, Broker, Calusa Bay Properties. “It’s the first beach cottage we’ve done in this community, and it certainly won’t be the last of its kind.” u

Every interior and exterior finish was redone, new doors, windows, and a new metal roof installed, and the entire backyard and pool redesigned.

“When we do a remodel, we want it to look like a new home. If we design an addition, it should look like it’s always been there,” explains Cooney. “I’m very glad we took on this renovation as we made significant changes that resulted in a huge impact. I think the home turned out very well.”

The home gave Matt Knauf, owner of Knauf-Koenig Group, and the team with whom he’s worked on a dozen projects, a chance to do their first renovation together in the venerable Pelican Bay neighborhood.

“After so many years, we have working together down to a science, but this is the first time we’ve been able to take the house down to the studs and build it anew on the existing footprint in Pelican Bay,” says Knauf. “By raising the trusses and ceilings and installing a brand new pool utilizing the latest technology, we were able to create a fantastic beach cottage.” u

correctly, oversaw every aspect of the extensive renovation.

“I’m out in the field every day,” says Knauf, “and I’m told that is the biggest draw to attract clients to our company.”

Such oversight is part of the other team members’ approach as well. Randi Scott, managing director and Liz Brown, lead interior designer of Calusa Bay Design, worked hand-in-glove with each other and equally tightly as part of the entire creative team.

“We handled everything from paint colors and flooring to furniture and accessories, often work with private clients. But when we work on spec homes, as we did here for Calusa Bay Development, we are thrilled to be part of this great team.” u

“We collaborated with the architect and builder and made this home into a modern, open concept plan. The house gave us lots of options to stretch our talents and shine,” says Brown. “We are very pleased with the updated, yet classic, beach cottage we created and so was the developer. ” This home is offered for sale by Taber Tagliasacchi, Calusa Bay Properties. n
