About this home
Tucked away in the peaceful Powell Creek area of North Fort Myers, this meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style residence offers an increasingly elusive combination of affordability, generous space, and quiet residential living. Set within a discreet, low-traffic neighborhood, the property provides a welcome sense of seclusion while remaining convenient to the everyday necessities of Southwest Florida life. Inside, the home is exceptionally clean, well-cared for, and genuinely move-in ready. Tile flooring throughout creates a cohesive, low-maintenance interior, while the spacious kitchen provides ample room for cooking, gathering, and everyday functionality. A large indoor laundry room adds another measure of practicality and valuable storage space. The home's traditional ranch-style configuration is complemented by a one-car garage plus an additional side carport—an excellent arrangement for households needing extra covered parking, recreational equipment, or additional utility space. Major improvements include a newer roof and air-conditioning system, helping alleviate two of the more consequential expenses buyers often encounter when purchasing an existing home. Outside, the property continues to distinguish itself with a large yard and fenced backyard, offering abundant room for pets, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the Florida sunshine in privacy. A backyard storage shed provides convenient space for tools, lawn equipment, and seasonal belongings. Perhaps most compelling is the home's setting. Maryland Drive is nestled within the Powell Creek area, away from the commotion and traffic of larger thoroughfares, creating a pleasantly unhurried atmosphere that feels almost removed from the surrounding bustle. For buyers who have been searching for a well-maintained, move-in-ready home without an onerous price tag, 1798 Maryland Drive represents an exceptional opportunity. With three bedrooms, two baths, substantial outdoor space, covered parking for multiple vehicles, important recent improvements, and a tranquil location, this home delivers the attributes that matter most—comfort, practicality, privacy, and genuine value.
