Award-Winning Penthouse-Style Residence with Private Rooftop Oasis in Old Naples Heads to Auction

NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Walk to the beach. Walk to dinner in Old Naples. Come home to your own private rooftop terrace. That’s the lifestyle offered at Residence 303 at Stella Naples, a three-bedroom penthouse-style condominium in the heart of Old Naples now headed to a no-reserve auction on April 20 through Elite Auctions. Listed at $4,350,000, the property will sell to the highest bidder without reserve.

This premier "lock-and-leave" residence offers a sophisticated coastal living experience just blocks from the beach. Completed in 2024, Stella Naples is an award-winning nine-unit boutique building at 82 9th St. S., offering an intimate private residence with the polish of a luxury hotel.

Designed by award-winning MHK Architecture and recognized as a grand winner at the 2025 Aurora Awards, Residence 303 stands out as one of the largest and most distinctive homes in the building with a private internal staircase leading to its own expansive rooftop terrace. Guests arrive via an open-air catwalk entrance, setting a striking tone upon arrival. Interiors by LVD Spaces showcase elevated finishes, including European hardwood flooring, designer wallpaper accents, and custom wall treatments.

“Today’s affluent buyers want stunning when they’re in town, effortless when they’re not,” said Tara McLean, president and co-founder of Elite Auctions. "This residence captures the 'new' Naples lifestyle, cosmopolitan, secure, and entirely walkable. It’s also one of the few properties that seamlessly accommodates both luxury living and pet ownership, which is increasingly important to today’s buyers.”
