About this home
Completely renovated and sold fully turnkey, this exceptional waterfront pool home in Matlacha Isles offers the perfect blend of luxury, investment potential, and the ultimate Southwest Florida boating lifestyle. Featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a two car garage, and situated on an oversized lot at the end of a quiet dead-end street, this property offers exceptional privacy with minimal traffic.

The composite dock is equipped with a boat lift, making it easy to get out on the water for world-class fishing and endless island-hopping adventures to Sanibel, Captiva, Cayo Costa, and Pine Island. Thanks to the home's proximity to the Spreader Canal, you'll regularly enjoy visits from dolphins, manatees, schools of fish, and an abundance of native birds and wildlife. Designed with both style and durability in mind, the home features all hurricane impact windows and sliders, along with a durable tile roof. Inside, large format porcelain tile flows seamlessly throughout the home, creating a clean, modern aesthetic. The stunning kitchen showcases quartz waterfall countertops, white shaker cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, while both bathrooms offer matching designer finishes with luxury vanities and beautifully tiled showers. Step outside to your private backyard oasis where the sparkling pool enjoys desirable southern exposure, providing sunshine throughout most of the day. Whether you're entertaining guests, relaxing after a day on the boat, or enjoying the peaceful waterfront setting, this home delivers the best of Florida living. Conveniently located near the exciting Seven Islands Project and Cape Coral Grove, this area is poised for tremendous future growth, making this not only an incredible place to live but also a smart investment in one of Southwest Florida's most sought after waterfront communities.
