What's special

Private dock with liftArched windowsFirst-floor laundryOpen-concept layoutBreathtaking panoramic water viewsExpansive bay viewsWalls of impact-resistant glass

Exceptional Estero Bayfront residence offering rare peninsula living and breathtaking panoramic water views. Situated on an oversized 0.34-acre (14,636 sq. ft.) bayfront lot, this truly one-of-a-kind home delivers approximately 280-degree views of Estero Bay, providing remarkable privacy and a serene coastal setting rarely found on Fort Myers Beach. Spanning over 3,000 square feet, this thoughtfully designed four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home features an open-concept layout with porcelain tile flooring, recessed lighting, and modern zebra window shades throughout. Walls of impact-resistant glass—including a four-panel stacking slider and additional sliding doors—frame the expansive bay views while seamlessly connecting the interior living space to a screened lanai with picture-window screens. Outdoor living is enhanced by a waterfront pool and spill-over spa, positioned at the bay’s edge and surrounded by a travertine-tiled deck ideal for entertaining and relaxed coastal living. The southern canal side of the property is well-suited for boating, offering a private dock with lift, plus an extended dock accommodating visiting boats or personal watercraft. The flexible floor plan provides multiple primary suite options, allowing owners to tailor the home to their lifestyle. The main-level suite features a spacious bath, walk-in closet, and private den that may easily convert to a fourth bedroom with Jack-and-Jill bath access. The upstairs primary retreat offers exceptional natural light, arched windows, a lighted tray ceiling, and an extended private balcony—ideal for enjoying sunrise views. This suite is completed by a large walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with dual-sink vanity, platform-raised soaking tub, and beautifully tiled walk-in shower. The updated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring quartz countertops, a full-height tiled backsplash, a wall of cabinetry, and an under-mount stainless steel sink—blending modern design with everyday functionality. A welcoming foyer provides space for a sitting area, while southern and eastern exposures fill the main living spaces with natural light. A breezeway connects the home to a two-car garage with additional storage or workshop space. Additional improvements include impact-resistant windows and doors throughout, a new A/C condenser and first-floor ductwork, 4-foot cement board walls on the lower level, and first-floor laundry. Very few properties on Fort Myers Beach offer this level of privacy, water frontage, boating access, and panoramic bay views. An extraordinary opportunity to own a distinctive Estero Bayfront home in a premier island setting.
