Completely renovated in 2023, this home features all-new essentials, including a metal roof, water heater, and impact-resistant windows, doors, and sliders. There is extended parking on the driveway for your boat trailer, and the seawall is new as well. Step inside to a breathtaking direct view of the water. The open-concept layout includes an enclosed lanai, now air-conditioned and serving as a versatile flex room. A split system AC provides extra cooling for this space, which adds additional square footage beyond what's recorded on tax records. The home boasts contemporary finishes, with quartz counters, Bosch stainless steel appliances, and sleek tile flooring throughout. The kitchen is a chef's dream, with white shaker wood cabinets, soft-close hinges, crown molding, a built-in induction stove and double wall oven, and a striking black apron sink set in an expansive island. The primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet with shelving, pool deck access, and an ensuite with dual sinks, a rainfall showerhead, and beautiful tilework. The guest bathroom features an extra-deep tub and elegant updates. Laundry is located in the garage, which feels like an extension of the home with its epoxy floors, modern washer and dryer, storage racks, and utility tub. Impact sliders lead to a spacious screened pool area. The heated Pebble Tec pool, installed in 2023, includes a tanning shelf with bubblers. Invisible screen mesh on the canal side ensures unobstructed views of the stunning southwestern sunsets. The pool cage offers ample room for dining and lounging, while the backyard provides plenty of space for outdoor enjoyment. There is also a large custom built shed, with a ramp to store your riding lawnmower. This property features a composite boat dock with an 8000lb lift, making it easy to head out for a boat ride or fishing trip anytime, with the Caloosahatchee River just two minutes away!
