About this home
REINTRODUCING WITH A $15,000 SELLER CREDIT FOR A NEW ROOF!!! and NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE. Pick your own roof style and color, on us, at 140 SE 8th St, Cape Coral, FL 33990. A rare opportunity to own a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with true character in a sea of new construction, offered at a compelling new value. With so many newer homes in Cape Coral offering smaller, cleared lots and a more uniform, "one-size-fits-all" feel, properties like this are becoming increasingly hard to find. Set on an oversized .36-acre lot, this home offers something most new builds simply can't - mature trees, natural privacy, and a backyard that feels alive. Here, you'll find mango and orange trees, natural bamboo for privacy, a butterfly garden, and even a mature oak - something rarely seen in Cape Coral due to the area's coral-based soil. It's a setting that feels established, peaceful, and truly like home. The large screened lanai with sliding glass doors creates an easy indoor-outdoor flow, perfect for enjoying this one-of-a-kind yard. Inside, the home is light and inviting with cathedral ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a comfortable, open layout. The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops, self-closing cabinetry, and a breakfast bar, and both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated. Tile and stone flooring run throughout for a clean, low-maintenance finish. Major updates include a newer A/C, hybrid water heater, reverse osmosis system, updated electrical panel, and LED lighting. Built with CBS construction, this Cape Coral home has already proven its durability through three major hurricanes with no wind or water damage. The side-entry, 2-car garage enhances curb appeal, while the fully fenced yard with gated access provides rare flexibility - ideal for securely storing a boat, work truck, or trailer in compliance with city regulations. A large shed and riding mower are included. ALL ASSESSMENTS PAID! Conveniently located near shopping, dining, schools, and parks, with Sun Splash and Lake Kennedy Park just minutes away. If you've been looking for something with personality, privacy, and a setting that can't be duplicated in today's new construction market - this is it. Offered at $299,900 | $15,000 roof credit at closing, buyer's choice of style/color | .36-acre lot | Not in a flood zone | All assessments paid
