    SELLER MOTIVATED – BRING ALL OFFERS! At $674,900, this is one of the best values for deep-water, direct Gulf-access waterfront living in Cape Coral. With no bridges and quick access to the river and Gulf, boaters will appreciate the ability to accommodate a sailboat or larger vessel while enjoying some of Southwest Florida's most beautiful waterfront scenery. Perfectly positioned with desirable southern exposure and wide western water views, the property delivers breathtaking sunsets year-round. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a split-bedroom floor plan, the home features two separate living areas that provide flexibility for entertaining, working from home, or creating a media room or additional guest space. The updated kitchen, completed in 2023, showcases custom wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting, and a center island, while the primary suite offers direct access 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. Major improvements include a new roof (2024), new AC and ductwork (2023), resurfaced pool (2023), new appliances (2023), hurricane-rated garage door, accordion and electric shutters, and automatic irrigation. The concrete dock provides immediate waterfront enjoyment with the opportunity to add a future boat lift customized to your boating needs. Investors will appreciate the proven rental history, previously leased at $3,000 per month on an annual basis. If you've been searching for an affordable opportunity to enjoy the Cape Coral boating lifestyle with direct Gulf access, recent updates, a pool, and unforgettable sunsets, this home deserves a closer look.
