2 Bed Waterfront Home for Sale in Fort Myers
3225 E Riverside Drive 31C, Fort Myers, FL, 33916
About this home
Discover serene riverfront living in this completely renovated first-floor condo in the charming River Garden community. With direct Caloosahatchee River frontage and northwest exposure, every day brings stunning waterfront views and unforgettable sunsets that make you feel deeply connected to nature. The location delivers peaceful living while being just minutes to historic Downtown Fort Myers with its vibrant dining, shopping, and cultural scene. Inside, the space is thoughtfully designed and beautifully updated—featuring modern finishes and a smart layout that maximizes every square foot. The entire unit was beautifully renovated in September 2024, including a full plumbing update, Lovolor custom blinds throughout, and in-unit laundry—a huge bonus for convenience and everyday living—blending modern functionality with thoughtful details. River Garden offers a small, quiet, park-like setting with river access, an extended fishing pier, kayak launch and storage, community boat dock, and scenic spots to relax and enjoy Florida’s natural beauty. Tarpon Pier has just reopened and is a 175-slip marina in a sheltered deep-water cove, offering fuel, pump-out, overnight docking, showers, shore power, boat and kayak rentals, and yacht or fishing charters. It’s the perfect place for fishing, enjoying sunsets, and connecting with the water. The community itself is exceptionally well-maintained, with the roofing replaced in 2022 and the seawall in 2019. No outstanding or upcoming assessments are anticipated, and Building D illustrates what the completed patios will look like, with Building C patios expected to finish late February–early March. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special riverfront home that blends peaceful charm with modern comfort, in-unit convenience, and daily waterfront inspiration.
