About this home

Picture morning coffee on the patio as manatees drift down your own canal and birdsong carries over from the park across the street. Move-in-ready, fully renovated waterfront home in one of Fort Myers’ most characterful pockets. Tucked behind the main house is a fully permitted studio apartment, ready for guests, multigenerational living, or rental income. This is the rare Florida canal home where the work is already done, the big-ticket systems are brand new, and the lifestyle starts the day you move in. Renovated top to bottom: a brand-new kitchen with GE Profile appliances and an LG refrigerator, all-new bathrooms, fresh bi-color designer lighting, ceiling fans, and chandeliers throughout. Sealed travertine stone flooring runs through the home for a clean, cohesive look. All-new faucet fixtures and showers; Moen garbage disposal; an electric fireplace with heat & no-heat modes. A bonus room that easily converts to a fourth bedroom. Central heat and air conditioning in the main house. Entire home rewired with a new electrical system (2025), plus whole-home surge protection installed at the meter (owned, not leased). Six impact-resistant exterior doors (Window World) and hurricane shutters for storm season. New gutters (2026), and a new hot-water heater (2024). Directly across from Russell Park, a neighborhood bird sanctuary; cardinals, blue jays, woodpeckers, herons, hawks, even wild parrots. A mature, fruit-bearing landscape: mango, lychee, Marcus pumpkin avocado and Oro Negro avocado trees, two oaks, and royal palms along the canal. An almost fully shaded, fortified-privacy backyard with two patios and full perimeter fencing. This home is just minutes from I-75 giving you the ability to quickly travel to other attractions such as Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, and all the shopping, dining, and entertainment of downtown Fort Myers. Unlike central Cape Coral, this property provides easy access without the traffic congestion. Airbnb, Short term rental, VRBO, Vacation Rental, STR.
