You can enjoy the river view with a glass of wine from the hot tub, and sip lemonade on the swing under the massive old oak tree in the back yard. The location of this property makes it a boaters dream! Hop on the boat and you can arrive to The Boathouse Restaurant & pool within 5 minutes, if you want more options for entertainment and dining it’s a quick 25 minutes to downtown Fort Myers by boat. Not to mention the 10,000 lb boat lift that is covered to protect your boat from weather and sun, dock that has water and power, and plenty of space to catch some rays. The home has been upgraded and remodeled down to every last inch. A new metal roof installed earlier this year (2022), new AC & ductwork completed in 2021, new impact windows and double pane sliders in 2019, new pvc plumbing in 2015, completely renovated in 2015, fresh paint inside and out 2022. The front and backyard landscaping are meticulously maintained, in the evening the photocell lighting lights up the landscaping in the front and back yard, and the automatic sprinklers keep the grass green and lush all year.
