About this home

There’s something timeless about an old Florida cottage - a warmth and authenticity that modern homes simply can’t replicate. This charming two-bedroom, two-bath, 2 car garage, waterfront retreat sits high and dry on a rare gulf-access lot that has not required flood insurance, offering both peace of mind and effortless boating freedom. And with a recent PRICE DROP of 15k, not only is this property small but mighty, but it is aggressively priced at just $328 per square foot of air-conditioned space. Freshly caulked, sealed and painted Exterior with Benjamin Moore quality paint to protect the home for years to come. Dock surround and boat landing newly painted to match the homes exterior color for a seamless look. Roof replaced Nov 2022. This Gulf Access Beauty is Priced to sell for the 2026 Spring season! Located on the wide and very active Rubicon Canal, just 18 minutes to open water for a quick launch to your day. Or enjoy canalling up the vast Rubicon system to Honolulu canal, Lido, or Plato depending on where you wish to enter the Caloosahatchee. From your first cup of coffee in the morning, the view is ever-changing. Boats glide by daily, even our own local Olympic hopeful Fernando training early in the morning for his next competition. The occasional appearance of dolphins chasing mullet along the docks, manatees just cruising by or huge schools of Jack's boiling the water. It’s like living beside a moving work of art. The private dock and boat lift accommodate a sizable vessel, while the additional davit system provides space for another boat or the perfect setup for dockside projects. Whether it’s a spontaneous sunset cruise or a quiet morning on the water, this home makes it easy. Nestled in a quiet residential pocket conveniently positioned between the two bridges into Fort Myers, you’re minutes from downtown dining and everyday conveniences, yet tucked away enough to enjoy peaceful streets where neighbors walk, exercise, and stop to chat. Inside, the home is modest but mighty - thoughtfully laid out with two bedrooms, two baths, and a two-car garage. The sunroom glows with natural light, while the east-facing screen enclosed lanai and pool invite you to enjoy stunning sunrises and cool shaded evenings. It’s the perfect setting for morning coffee, relaxed swims, and easy backyard barbecues. With a fenced in back yard for the pets and a giant Mango tree, those delicious fresh mango breads, chutneys or smoothies are just a quick trip through the blender away. This isn’t about modern flash - it’s about comfort, charm, and the true feeling of Old Florida living. Ideal for a retired couple, seasonal escape, or that family just getting started. This cottage has everything you need for a relaxed waterfront lifestyle - simple, inviting, and beautifully connected to the water.
