About this home
Step into a home where care and character meet—this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence has been cherished by the same family since 1966. Thoughtfully updated, it features a modern kitchen and bathrooms, rich real wood flooring, and elegant crown molding throughout. The current owner has transformed the spacious primary suite—complete with ensuite bath and walk-in closet—into a cozy family room that opens through sliding doors to a bright patio/sunroom. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee as the sun rises. Plenty of room in back to add a pool. For boating enthusiasts, this property is a dream. Set on a deep-water canal, you’re just minutes from the Caloosahatchee River, offering direct access with no bridges to open water. From there, cruise out to the Gulf of America or head to the east coast through the Okeechobee Waterway. Located in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods, you’ll enjoy scenic walking and biking paths to the river, plus convenient access to shops and restaurants—all within walking distance. Even better, this home is not in a mandatory flood insurance zone, adding extra peace of mind. This isn’t just a house—it’s a lifestyle on the water.
