Property Description
The upstairs vantage point is particularly extraordinary, overlooking the shimmering pool, lush tropical landscaping, and tranquil canal beyond — an idyllic backdrop for morning coffee or evening sunsets. The oversized freshwater canal system invites endless exploration by kayak, canoe, or small boat, with miles of navigable waterways teeming with native wildlife, including otters and exotic birds, while bass fishing can be enjoyed directly from your own backyard dock.
Designed with both luxury and functionality in mind, the property features a fenced backyard ideal for children and pets, along with an additional fenced 18' x 8' in-ground garden area that can easily serve as a private pet run or flourishing garden sanctuary. The large pool creates a true resort-style atmosphere, complemented by a pool pump less than one year old and beautifully curated landscaping enhanced by an automated sprinkler system.
Inside, the residence exudes warmth and refinement with recently painted interior living spaces and an inviting layout tailored for both entertaining and everyday family living. The kitchen showcases gorgeous high-end granite countertops paired with newer appliances, creating a sophisticated culinary space that balances elegance with practicality.
Significant capital improvements further elevate the home's value and peace of mind, including a new roof, soffit, and gutters installed in 2023, exterior painting completed in 2024, accordion hurricane shutters protecting windows and sliders on both floors, and expansive pull-out accordion shutters spanning the first-floor exterior from the pool bath to the living room wall. The garage is additionally enhanced with a sliding screen enclosure for comfort and versatility.
Positioned in a highly desirable section of old Cape Coral known for its established character, safety, and strong school district, this exceptional property is conveniently located near downtown Cape Coral, shopping, waterfront dining, and some of the area's most beloved restaurants. Even more compelling, this freshwater waterfront residence is not located in a flood zone — a truly valuable distinction for waterfront living in Southwest Florida.
