1209 County Rd 78

Imagine the excitement of waking up each morning to one of the most spectacular views of the Caloosahatchee River. It can be found here at this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home which serves as the centerpiece of a 2.5-acre riverfront estate that boasts an impressive 130' of prime river frontage. Awe-inspiring sunrises and dramatic sunsets can be viewed from several locations found both inside and outside this marvelous home including the living room (with its floor to ceiling windows), and the large master bedroom and guest bedroom (both complete with French doors). Of course, it would be hard to top the incredible view from the outdoor patio, ideally fronted by the twin curved staircases from which one can access the backyard as well as the covered dock. Additionally, a newly expanded wooden deck located on the east side of the home adds to the outdoor entertainment area. The 800' driveway winds its way from the front of the property to the back guarantying privacy and instilling a sense of tranquility made even more so by any number of Live Oaks, Florida Mahogany trees, palms and pines that grow throughout the property. The established 30-acre orange grove, which adjoins the property, enhances the sense of seclusion that so many seek today. The home is impressive in size (almost 3,000 feet under air) plus a 2,500 square foot drive-in basement. Yes, I said BASEMENT - a rarity in Southwest Florida to be sure. Under the 25' x 25' poured concrete patio off the master bedroom is a two-car carport, plus room for two more cars (or boats) inside. Also, a 125' x 45' concrete pad was laid by a previous owner to be used as flooring for a butler building to store his collection of vintage Mustangs and which could now be used in a myriad of ways. The home's interior is just as eclectic. Entry into the front of the home is by way of a designer-inspired glass door via an oversized tiled front porch. The large kitchen has ample cabinet space, Corian countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a small prep island and a serving station/bar adjacent to the well-lit dining room and sitting area. Two of the four bedrooms, including the master bedroom (which has a large, multi-shelved walk-in closet), have attached ensuites. The master ensuite features a dual sink vanity and a large, fully tiled shower. The fourth bedroom could be used as a den, media room, or office for those who work from home. The home also sports a separate laundry room (both washer and dryer convey with the sale). BEST OF ALL this outstanding property is located on the north side of the LaBelle Bridge, just a short distance from Barron Park and the art gallery, library, the city dock, several restaurants and convenient shopping.
