1820 SE 36TH TERRACE

Owner/Agent. . .***Watch before and after video***WELCOME TO A WATERFRONT SHOWCASE OF QUALITY, CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND THOUGHTFUL DESIGN. This is not a flip and not a cosmetic renovation. This contractor-owned residence was transformed by choice with the assistance by a professional architect to create a truly exceptional Gulf-access home designed for long-term enjoyment. Perfectly positioned on a DIRECT GULF-ACCESS CANAL with SOUTHERN REAR EXPOSURE and approximately five-minute access to the Caloosahatchee River, this remarkable home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, approximately 2,200 square feet of living area, and a resort-style pool. The most important thing to understand about this home is that the renovation was completely voluntary. The home never flooded and was not renovated because it had to be. The owners simply wanted to create their ideal Southwest Florida waterfront retreat. A professional architect was hired to redesign the floor plan, creating an open-concept layout that maximizes functionality, entertaining space, natural light, and waterfront living. Walls and ceilings were removed and redesigned. Flooring was professionally leveled before the installation of beautiful wood-plank tile throughout the home. The result is a residence that lives and feels like a much newer custom waterfront property. The chef's kitchen features a massive 10-FOOT QUARTZ ISLAND, custom wood cabinetry with pull-out shelving, designer lighting, abundant storage, and an open layout perfect for entertaining. The adjoining great room showcases a custom-built media wall with fireplace. Because the owner is a contractor, the improvements extended far beyond cosmetic finishes. Extensive SPRAY FOAM INSULATION was installed throughout the home and lanai. Electrical and plumbing systems were replaced, and every improvement was completed with a focus on quality, efficiency, and durability. Outdoor living was completely reimagined. The original lanai was removed and rebuilt. The spa was removed to create additional entertaining space, and a PANORAMIC PICTURE-SCREEN ENCLOSURE was installed to maximize unobstructed canal views. The rebuilt lanai features a stunning CYPRESS-PLANK CEILING, upgraded lighting, brick paver decking, and a beautiful pool designed to embrace the Southwest Florida lifestyle. Additional upgrades include IMPACT WINDOWS AND DOORS, NEW ROOF (2022), NEW A/C SYSTEM (2025), NEW WATER HEATER (2023), CROWN MOLDING, PLANTATION SHUTTERS, CUSTOM WOODWORK, RECESSED LIGHTING, AND NEW ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING COMPONENTS. This is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed, professionally executed Gulf-access home where every improvement was made for the owners themselves—not for resale.
