One top-floor penthouse available at Aura at Metropolitan Naples

When Aura at Metropolitan Naples, the only tower overlooking Downtown Naples, the Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, launched its marketing effort it had five penthouses available. Today, the popular tower has only two amazing penthouses remaining and only one of those is located on the tower’s top floor.

That 15th floor residence is known as Penthouse 2. The three-bedroom plus den/three-and-a-half-bath home has 3,365 total square feet under air, plus two terraces. One terrace is off the Owner’s Suite and the other opens the living room and kitchen area to the outdoors. That’s convenient because this terrace is where you’ll find the outdoor grill.

“Other highlights of the plan,” according to Ed Gonzalez, the project’s Director of Sales, “include a gourmet Chef-inspired kitchen with large island, luxurious cabinetry, high-quality gas cooktops by Wolf and sleek Sub-Zero refrigeration, guest suites with private baths, oversized laundry room with state-of-the-art washer and dryer, and master baths with private water closet, a shower and separate soaking tub.”

Penthouse 2 is priced at $5 million.

The other Penthouse available is located on the tower’s amazing 5th floor and just steps away from many of the building’s fun, well-thought out amenities.  They include the indoor/outdoor residents’ lounges, a luxury guest suite and large putting green

The 5th floor’s Penthouse 5 has terrace spaces that total 1,526 square feet. Add that to the residence itself, which has 3,768 square feet under air, and the total living area for the available Penthouse unit reaches 5,304 total square feet.

The amazing landscaped terrace of Penthouse 5, with a number of seating areas and the grill, is accessible from the residence’s living room, kitchen and owner’s suite and offers extraordinary views of paradise from three different sides of the home.

“The terrace itself wraps around nearly the entire length of the outside of the penthouse residence,” said Gonzalez. “One can walk from the owner’s suite to the formal living room and never take a step inside.”

That’s just one of the special features of the incredible plan. Another is its Owner’s Suite showers – one is inside and one is outside.

“The one outside is lusciously landscaped for privacy, like those offered in some uber-luxurious tropical resort suites,” Gonzalez recalled.

Penthouse 5 is priced at $4.9 million.

Aura’s floor plans were all designed for entertaining family and friends and its Penthouse Residences take the entertainment factor and the indoor/outdoor living lifestyle to an even higher level.

“Throughout the year, and especially the winter months, we’re welcoming guests into our homes,” noted Gonzalez. “What better place to get the conversations started then stepping out onto your private terrace with seating areas and the outdoor grill.”

Aura at Metropolitan Naples features just 56 two-, three- and four-bedroom luxury residences, many with a den, ranging in size from 1,898 to 3,923 total living area. Prices range from $2 to over $6 million.

Residential features include expansive floor-to-ceiling glass windows and balcony doors, porcelain and wood floor selections, wine walls and wet bars per plan, fine custom cabinetry, great rooms designed to maximize outdoor views and outdoor living areas with gas-grilling stations and two secure garages spaces per residence.

The kitchens were designed for cooking and food preparation, as well as socializing due to the fact they include the large workstation and dining islands.

In addition to the penthouses, all owner suites feature luxurious baths with his and her vanities, large walk-in showers and separate soaking tubs.

Two private and secure, in-building parking spaces for homeowners are included, with convenient electric-vehicle charging stations available.

It’s not just the luxurious penthouses and residences that are attracting buyers, it’s also Aura’s incredible amenities, including its rooftop infinity pool.

Aura features the highest pool in the downtown area and is the only sky pool offering residents and their guests picturesque views of downtown Naples, the beautiful, reflective waters of Naples Bay and the azure and white waves of the Gulf of Mexico.

However, the infinity pool isn’t the only rooftop amenity. Those who love to exercise will also rejoice at the fact the state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio are also there.

High above the ground and offering incredible views through the floor to ceiling glass windows, residents will enjoy working out on outstanding fitness equipment or pushing through the most demanding or relaxing yoga routines, from the perfect perspective.

Also, just steps away from the infinity pool is another amazing amenity – an outdoor lounge with bar. It’s rooftop location just may create a whole new meaning to the term – highball.

Aura’s rooftop and 5th floor amenities are capturing the imaginations of future residents – as are several additional benefits of living in the tower.

By simply taking the elevator down a few floors from their residences, owners can enjoy casual and fine dining restaurants, as well as explore the distinctive shops and boutiques planned for the tower’s street level.

Metropolitan Naples is being developed by Jerry Starkey and Fred Pezeshkan, both long-time Naples residents and respected veteran developers.
