Welcome to the pinnacle of Florida living! This is the home you’ve been waiting for—an exquisitely renovated and impeccably maintained pool residence situated on a direct-access canal in the highly sought-after Palm Acres neighborhood, the best kept boating community of South Fort Myers!! Step outside to your private waterfront oasis. The newly redesigned pool area features a sun shelf, in-water loungers, a cascading waterfall, and an elegant marble paver deck. A hot tub invites relaxation, while two boat docks with lifts (5,000 lb and 20,000 lb), Trex decking, and a wraparound dock provide effortless access to the Caloosahatchee River and the Gulf of Mexico—putting world-class boating and fishing just minutes from your backyard. A built-in BULL gas grill completes the outdoor entertaining space. Hurricane-impact windows and doors, along with Kevlar screens, offer enhanced protection, and the existing flood insurance policy is assumable at an annual rate of just $1,254. Sunlight pours into every room, creating a bright, airy atmosphere throughout. A paver circular driveway and lush, professionally designed landscaping set a striking tone, enhanced by a redesigned front elevation, custom exterior lighting, and a tranquil illuminated waterfall feature that welcomes you inside. Enter through double glass impact doors and immediately take in sweeping views of the resort-style outdoor living space and peaceful canal beyond. Inside, the home showcases refined craftsmanship with solid wood doors, extensive baseboards and crown molding, and soaring vaulted ceilings that enhance the sense of openness and sophistication. The fully updated interior features travertine tile in a French pattern throughout. Formal living and dining spaces offer timeless elegance, while the chef-inspired kitchen blends style and functionality with granite countertops, white cabinetry, a travertine backsplash, under-cabinet and ambient lighting, and stainless steel Bosch appliances—including a refrigerator with a 15-bottle wine drawer and an induction cooktop. A breakfast bar and seamless flow into the casual dining area and family room make it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Fresh interior paint lends a clean, contemporary feel. The split-bedroom floor plan ensures privacy, with multiple access points to the screened lanai and pool from the guest bedroom, guest bath, formal living room, and primary suite. The third bedroom, currently used as a home office, offers flexibility to suit your needs. Each bedroom includes spacious, custom-designed California Closets walk-in closets. The expansive primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with a spa-like bath featuring dual vanities. An oversized two-car garage with epoxy flooring, slat wall storage, and a mini-split A/C system adds both comfort and convenience.
