Property Description
Step into this exceptional 4-bedroom, 3-bath SW Cape Coral residence, where modern luxury meets effortless waterfront living. Designed around an expansive open concept, the interior seamlessly connects daily living and entertaining spaces, anchored by the kitchen with solid-surface countertops, a generous island that opens directly into the main family room. Durable tile flooring spans the home, perfectly complementing the beautifully renovated bathrooms. Upstairs, a private 2020 addition houses a secluded fourth bedroom featuring its own screened balcony-making it an ideal setup for guests, a private sanctuary, or an executive home office. Outside, the screened lanai and pool offer a private backyard haven, but the real showstopper lies just beyond the patio for boating enthusiasts: direct Gulf access equipped with a Wear Deck dock and dual 10,000-lb boat lifts installed in 2021. Top-tier structural and technical upgrades provide complete peace of mind and unmatched energy efficiency. A fully paid-off whole-house solar system with battery storage keeps utility expenses down to roughly $25 a month. Additional highlights include a durable standing seam metal roof (2020), full impact windows, an epoxy-finished garage, and an integrated smart home setup with the capability to manage security cameras, lighting, and boat lifts. Located minutes from top SW Cape Coral dining, shopping, and schools, this home delivers the ultimate Florida coastal lifestyle.
