There is a particular kind of Naples home that rarely needs explaining. It sits on the water, it faces west, it has a pool under a screened lanai, and it was built recently enough that nothing about it asks for a project. 9062 Montserrat Drive is that home. A Toll Brothers residence in the gated community of Azure at Hacienda Lakes, it was completed in 2020 and has been kept the way a six-year-old house ought to be kept, then improved in the places that matter most to a buyer who intends to move in and simply live.
The address is quiet and the lot is modest at 0.17 acres, but the view is not. The rear of the home opens onto a lake, and because the exposure runs west, the last hour of every day arrives across the water and into the lanai. It is the setting that defines the property, and it is why the list price of $1,025,000 reads less like a number and more like an argument.

A Toll Brothers Plan, Finished Through the Design Center
The house offers 2,480 square feet of living space arranged as three bedrooms, a separate den, and two and a half baths, with an attached two-car garage. That is a floor plan with enough room to spread out and not so much that it becomes a chore to maintain.
What separates this residence from a standard build is the decision-making that happened before anyone moved in. The original owners went through the builder’s design center and selected the upgrades that show up in daily use rather than in a brochure. Wood-look tile runs through the main living areas, with carpet reserved for the bedrooms. Tray ceilings add height and architectural rhythm to the principal rooms. Plantation shutters dress the windows, and those windows are impact-resistant, which in Southwest Florida is both a convenience and a quiet form of insurance.
The great room runs straight to the lanai, with the lake framed beyond the glass.
The interior has just been repainted in its entirety, so the walls read as new rather than lived-in.
The Kitchen: Gas, KitchenAid, and a Wall Oven
The kitchen is where the design-center choices become most obvious. The appliance package is upgraded KitchenAid, anchored by a gas cooktop with a vented hood, a detail that matters to anyone who actually cooks and one that is far from standard in Naples new construction. A wall oven sits apart from the cooktop, the cabinetry was upgraded, and a designer backsplash ties the room together. There is a pantry for the things that should not be on the counter.
Upgraded cabinetry, a gas cooktop under a vented hood, and an island that looks toward the water.
The island is positioned so that whoever is working at it faces the living space and the lake beyond. A casual dining nook sits by the windows to one side, and a formal dining area with a tray ceiling and chandelier is there for the evenings that call for it.
The Primary Suite and the Rooms That Flex
The primary suite is the retreat it should be. The bath is finished with a freestanding soaking tub set against a feature wall of vertical tile, dual sinks on a long vanity, and a separate walk-in shower with upgraded tile.
Two additional bedrooms share a full bath, and the den is a true separate room rather than an alcove off the foyer. It is currently set up as a home office, and the arrangement makes the point: this plan supports three bedrooms plus a dedicated workspace without any of them doing double duty. A powder room serves the main living areas, and the laundry room is equipped with a gas dryer.
Outdoor Living: A Heated Pool Facing the Sunset
The lanai is the reason to buy this house. It is fully screened, paved in brick pavers that have just been pressure washed and sealed, and it holds a private gas-heated pool that looks directly across the lake. Western rear exposure means the pool deck is in sun through the afternoon and the sky over the water does what Southwest Florida skies do at dusk. An outdoor shower is tucked to one side for rinsing off before coming back in.
Western exposure puts the sunset directly over the pool and the lake behind it.
The practical side of the property has been handled with the same care. A whole-home Generac generator has been contracted for the house, the permit has been issued, and installation will follow pending HOA approval. A tankless water heater, a security system, an irrigation system, and a 240-volt outlet in the garage round out a list of systems that a buyer would otherwise spend the first year adding.
From above: the lake, the open land beyond it, and the home’s position on the water.
Azure at Hacienda Lakes
Azure is a gated Toll Brothers community within the larger Hacienda Lakes master plan on the east side of Naples. The amenity campus is built around a clubhouse with a resort-style community pool, a fitness center, pickleball and tennis courts, a billiards room, cabanas, and a series of gathering spaces inside and out. Sidewalks connect the neighborhood, and the lakes give it an open, green feel.

Location is the trade this community makes, and it is a fair one. The Gulf beaches are roughly 25 minutes away. Downtown Naples, with Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South, is a comparable drive, and the shopping, dining, and services along Collier Boulevard and Tamiami Trail East are close at hand. In exchange, a buyer gets a six-year-old pool home on a lake at a price that would not reach the water closer to the Gulf. The HOA fee is $6,400 annually.
Why This One
Naples has no shortage of new construction, and new construction has a way of arriving with a long list of things still to do: window treatments, a generator, a pool heater, a sealed driveway, upgraded appliances. This home arrives with all of it done, and done to a standard set by the original owners rather than a builder’s base package. For a buyer who wants the lake, the sunset, and a kitchen that cooks, without eighteen months of contractors, 9062 Montserrat Drive is a short list of one.
