3 Bed Pool Home for Sale in Cape Coral
243 SE 1st Terrace, Cape Coral, FL, 33990
About this home
Who says owning a pool home in Cape Coral has to break the bank? This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath pool home delivers the Florida lifestyle buyers are looking for at a price that makes sense, with major updates already completed, city utilities in and paid, and the added benefit of being located outside of a flood zone. Nestled in desirable SE Cape Coral, pride of ownership is evident from the moment you arrive, with meticulous landscaping, mature tropical foliage, concrete curbing, and a welcoming screened entry. Inside, vaulted ceilings and an open-concept great room create a bright, spacious feel, with the kitchen flowing seamlessly into the dining and living areas. The well-appointed kitchen features wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a mosaic tile backsplash, built-in wine rack, large pantry, and high-end GE stainless steel appliances. Coastal-inspired finishes, window treatments, and paint selections carry throughout the home, creating a relaxed Florida feel. Sliding glass doors from both the dining area and primary suite open to an incredible oversized covered lanai, while a kitchen pass-through window makes outdoor dining and entertaining effortless. A beautiful shiplap ceiling adds character to this impressive outdoor living space, overlooking the oversized pool and private, fully fenced backyard surrounded by mature landscaping. Whether you're lounging poolside, entertaining friends, enjoying dinner outdoors, or watching the kids splash in the pool, this is a home designed to enjoy Florida living year-round. The spacious primary suite features crown molding, an ensuite bath, and an exceptionally large walk-in closet, while two generously sized guest bedrooms are privately situated on the opposite side of the home. The guest bath conveniently doubles as a pool bath with direct access to the lanai. Even better, many of the costly improvements buyers worry about have already been taken care of, including a newer roof, A/C, and water heater, all replaced since 2021. Impact windows are installed across the front and sides of the home, along with one impact-rated sliding glass door. Conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, healthcare, schools, and entertainment, this home offers an outstanding combination of affordability, condition, location, and lifestyle. A furniture package is also available, providing the opportunity for a turnkey purchase. A private pool, major updates, paid city utilities, and no flood zone—this is the kind of Cape Coral value that's getting harder to find.
