Property Description
Best value in Cape Coral for deep sailboat access-no bridges, quick, direct Gulf access, and a truly sunset-drenched waterfront setting. Perfectly positioned with desirable southern exposure and a wide western rear view, this home is bathed in natural light all day and delivers breathtaking, unobstructed sunsets each evening-the kind that define Southwest Florida living. From golden hour reflections on the water to vibrant skies at dusk, the backyard becomes your nightly front-row seat to nature's show. Designed with a courtyard-style layout centered around the pool and water views, every main living space is intentionally oriented to capture both the water and those unforgettable sunset views, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection that feels open, airy, and distinctly coastal. Offering 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths with a split-bedroom floor plan, the home features both a family room and living room, providing flexibility for entertaining or unwinding after a day on the water. Thoughtfully updated in January 2023, the kitchen shines with custom wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting, and a center island perfect for gathering. The primary suite is a private retreat with sliders to the lanai and pool, a walk-in closet, and a beautifully remodeled bath with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. The guest bath has also been tastefully updated and conveniently serves as a pool bath. Additional upgrades include a new roof (2024), resurfaced pool (2023), new AC and ductwork (2023), new appliances (2023), hurricane-rated garage door, accordion and electric shutters, and an automatic irrigation system. Enjoy added peace of mind with low flood insurance, enhancing the home's overall affordability. Down at the water, a concrete dock invites you to relax, fish, or head out for the day-with deep sailboat access just minutes to open water. With proven annual rental income and positioned as one of the best values for deep, direct sailboat access in Cape Coral, this property delivers the ultimate blend of boating lifestyle, sunset views, and investment potential.
