Welcome to the ultimate Florida lifestyle! This is the home you’ve been waiting for—an exquisitely remodeled and meticulously maintained pool home set on a direct-access canal in the coveted Palm Acres neighborhood of South Fort Myers, just four miles from the Sanibel Causeway. High and dry, this residence remained free of water intrusion in the living areas during Hurricanes Ian, Helene, and Milton. Hurricane-impact doors and windows, along with Kevlar screens, provide added peace of mind, and the flood insurance policy is assumable at just $1,254 annually. Natural light fills every room, enhancing the home’s bright and inviting ambiance. A pavered circular driveway and lush custom landscaping create a stunning first impression, complemented by a redesigned front exterior, custom outdoor lighting, and a tranquil, lighted waterfall feature that welcomes you inside. Step through double glass impact doors and take in breathtaking views of the outdoor oasis and serene canal beyond. Inside, refined finishes abound, including solid wood doors, extensive base and crown molding, and soaring vaulted ceilings that elevate the sense of space and elegance. The fully remodeled interior features travertine French-pattern tile flooring throughout. Formal living and dining areas offer timeless sophistication, while the updated kitchen is both stylish and functional, showcasing granite countertops, white cabinetry, a travertine backsplash, under-cabinet and ambient lighting, and stainless steel Bosch appliances—including a refrigerator with a 15-bottle wine drawer and an induction cooktop. A breakfast bar and seamless flow into the casual dining area and family room make this space perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Fresh interior paint adds a crisp, modern touch. The split floor plan ensures privacy, with multiple access points to the screened lanai and pool from the second bedroom, guest bath, formal living room, and primary suite. The third bedroom, currently configured as a home office, offers flexible use. All bedrooms feature spacious, redesigned California Closets walk-in closets. The expansive primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities.
