About this home
Your sunny Southwest Florida search ends here – this is The One! Start with excellent curb appeal, as mature trees and manicured landscaping gives a great first impression to prospective residents and guests alike. Past the garden area, you’ll find the interior to be reminiscent of a model home - from the coastal-themed furnishings to design choices that take full advantage of abundant natural light. Spanning 2076 square feet under air, this immaculately maintained home consists of two bedrooms, a den, two full baths, and multiple common areas. Both bedrooms are spacious, with the guest bedroom significantly larger than those found in Estero’s new construction neighborhoods. The kitchen, modern and stylish, features a natural gas range, stainless steel appliances, and stone counters that accommodate bar seating. Those familiar with Florida Living will appreciate the tile floors in nearly every room, and the garage floor has an epoxy coating that makes cleanup a breeze. Two sets of sliders lead from the dining area to the oversized lanai. The lanai offers the best of both worlds, with a sizable covered section adjoining a much larger area that is complemented by picture window screens offering a panoramic view of the lake & fountain. While there is room for a pool, you may choose to forego the associated maintenance, insurance, and electrical costs in order to preserve such a wonderful space for entertaining friends & family. Speaking of lower insurance costs, this home benefits from a newer roof, hurricane shutters, and an elevation that protected it from water intrusion during the recent storms. Flood insurance is not required, as the structure is not in a flood zone. For those considering a second home in Florida, this is an ideal location - quick access to Southwest Florida International Airport for your family and friends. Rookery Pointe is a gate-secured community conveniently situated near popular upscale & casual attractions. You’ll be minutes from shopping, dining, and entertainment. Close proximity to the expressway means that trips to Naples and Sarasota are a breeze. When you visit, make sure to tour the resort-style amenities that include an exercise room, community pool, pickleball, and tennis. Association fees are low and include cable & internet, irrigation water, and lawn care. This is one of the rare Estero developments without an annual CDD assessment on the tax bill. Make your offer with confidence – an “As-Is” contract is not required. Furnishings are negotiable. Although this home must be seen in person to be appreciated, the 3D virtual tour may tide you over for now!
