Most Expensive Zip Codes: 33924, Estate of the Day
For the next couple of weeks we will be checking out some homes in the most expensive zip codes in the United States, up today, 33924. This zip code brings us to Captiva Island, Florida a spit of land stretching into the Gulf of Mexico. This tranquil and warm area has a median price of $2,060,000 with an appreciation rate of 382% since 1990.
Captiva island is reached by car via the Sanibel Causeway and Sanibel-Captiva Road. Its location makes it a bit of a hurricane magnet and the island was damaged in 2004 when Hurricane Charley rolled through. That doesn't stop people from building some huge houses though. Case in point, today's estate, a large three-story home with six bedrooms. The overall decor relies far too much on the beige but the home does have a salt water aquarium, gourmet kitchen, elevator, arched gallery, marble floors and big mahogany double doors. The swimming pool includes a spa and an area for in-water dining and most importantly a short walk brings you directly to the Captiva Isand's famously beautiful white sand beaches. This property is listed at $10,900,000.

Now I do visit Luxist everyday and my favorite part is the comments from you house snobs. You guys hate every house except for houses that look like they were decorated in 1785.
Luxist favorites:
Wood paneled rooms.
Wine cellars.
Tapestries.
Houses in the Northeast, ONLY!!

Underwhelmed. The floor plan of the main floor seems oddly open. Didn't care for the stairs to your back in the dining room either.
