Located on a cul-de-sac, this classic 1980 Marco Island waterfront single-family home pairs old-Florida charm with solid, storm-smart construction. Elevated above grade (and it shows), the residence has never taken water into the house, pool, or garage during hurricanes—peace of mind that money can’t fake. Inside, you’ll find 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, ready for your reimagining. Outside is where the magic happens: a huge screened-in lanai with an upper deck for lounging, plus a walk-down to the pool—also fully screened—so you can enjoy breezy canal afternoons without inviting the bugs to dinner. With wide canal and bay views, sunsets and dolphin cameos tend to steal the show. Car people, rejoice: the oversized 2-car garage has the height to accommodate a car lift. Boat people, you’re on navigable water with that easy Marco Island waterfront lifestyle at your doorstep. And for everyone else—well, the lanai practically begs for happy hour. This property is move-in comfortable and remodel-friendly, a rare chance to add your personal touch in a prized waterfront setting. Only 1 mile to Resident's Beach, Mackle Park, and 4 minutes to Tommie Barield Elementary. If you’ve been searching for a Marco Island waterfront home for sale that’s solid, serene, and ready for your vision—this is the one.
