Refined Waterfront Living | Gulf Access Pool Home in SE Cape Coral Welcome to your private slice of paradise in Cape Coral—where effortless elegance meets the tranquil beauty of waterfront living. Perfectly positioned along a serene Gulf-access canal, this meticulously updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers a rare opportunity to experience the very best of Southwest Florida. With just one bridge (9'3" clearance) and approximately 15 minutes to open water, your boating adventures begin right from your backyard. Cruise with ease to Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, and beyond—or simply unwind dockside as manatees and dolphins drift peacefully through the canal. The outdoor living experience is nothing short of exceptional. A newly resurfaced oversized pool (2026) shimmers beneath a bronze screened enclosure, complemented by a freshly painted pool deck and expansive lanai designed for both shaded relaxation and sun-drenched leisure. Entertain with ease on the waterfront deck, or step onto your composite captain’s walk dock with 7,000 lb lift, ready to accommodate your vessel. Also enjoy the amazing sunsets from your lanai or waterfront deck. Inside, the home exudes a sense of calm sophistication. A fully reimagined kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring quartz countertops, white shaker soft-close cabinetry, premium stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and a convection oven with air fryer capability—blending beauty with everyday functionality. Seamless tile flooring flows throughout, enhancing the home’s clean, cohesive design. A wall of disappearing sliders invites the outdoors in, creating a fluid connection between the main living space and lanai—perfect for embracing Florida’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The split-bedroom layout ensures privacy, while the remodeled bathrooms and curated finishes add a touch of modern luxury throughout. Additional highlights include a 2-car garage with tiled flooring and workspace, an attached storage shed, partially fenced yard perfect for children or pets, irrigation system, and lush mature landscaping with refined concrete edging. No HOA. City water and sewer with assessments already paid. Ideally located within walk distance of the nearby Publix Super Market, fine dining, shopping, and with convenient access to Fort Myers, this home offers both serenity and accessibility. Thoughtfully upgraded for peace of mind and comfort: Roof (2019), A/C (2023), Hot Water Heater (2025), New exterior paint (2026), freshly painted interior, electric roll-down storm shutters across the lanai, some impact resistant windows, and updated lighting inside and out.
