What steps can you take to own the spectacular home of your dreams? One couple in Cape Coral, Florida, drove to success in a UPS delivery truck, cruising a long road paved with hard work and determination to live the life of luxury.
Elegance on the River
While they’re now the proud owners of this 12,000 sq. ft. waterside mansion with a gourmet custom kitchen, breathtaking views, heated pool with swim-up bar and other elegant features, Jim and Judy Postema started out in much more modest surroundings. Jim worked as a UPS truck driver, worked his way up to management, invested in rising UPS stock, and emphasized saving over spending for more than 20 years. His goal: To one day live in the palatial estate that symbolizes success and the good life.
The Postemas’ investment in hard work and sound financial management paid off. Their beautiful Italianate mansion on the Caloosahatchee River features hand-painted ceilings, 138 ft. of private river frontage, dual boat lifts, 7 bedrooms, 6 full and 5 half-bathrooms, multiple verandas and luxurious rooms for entertaining friends.
Grand Estates Auction Company will offer this landmark Cape Coral estate at a live, absolute auction with no minimum and no reserve at 2 p.m. Tues., Feb.10. Previews of the property will take place from Feb. 6-10.
Jim Postema offers three valuable tips for anyone starting out on the road to success:
1. Set realistic, attainable goals.
2. Have a positive attitude and plenty of determination.
3. Surround yourself with positive people rather than naysayers.
