About the property
Rare Double Lot Gulf-Access Home with 120' Waterfront
What sets this Fort Myers residence apart is not its square footage but its waterfront footprint: a rare double lot with 120 feet of direct Gulf-access frontage. Positioned for privacy and play, the fully fenced parcel opens to the water and offers an oversized screened lanai that already feels like an outdoor room — ideal for morning coffee, sunset gatherings, or adding a pool and dock for multiple watercraft.
Inside, the 1,617-square-foot layout has been completely updated with high-end finishes. A bright, open living area meets a kitchen refreshed with updated cabinetry and durable quartz countertops, delivering workspace and style for everyday meals and small-group entertaining alike. The primary suite is appointed with a renovated bathroom, while two guest bedrooms are practical and comfortable. Whole-house impact windows and doors add security and quiet along with notable energy and insurance benefits.
The seller prioritized durable, modern systems: tankless water heater, a 2017 roof, an electrical panel replaced in 2022, and an AC system only a few years old. These upgrades reduce near-term maintenance concerns and let the new owner enjoy the waterfront lifestyle right away. A two-car garage provides storage and covered parking for coastal living needs.
Outside is where this property truly shines. The fenced, oversized grounds provide room for gardens, a workshop, or backyard expansions. The screened lanai frames the canal and the sky beyond, and the property’s direct Gulf access means boaters can plan docks, lifts, and open-water excursions without the restrictions of inland canals. Located in Fort Myers Shores, this turnkey home is minutes from local shopping and dining, about 10 miles to Historic Downtown Fort Myers, 5 miles to I-75, and roughly 19 miles to Southwest Florida International Airport — a blend of quiet waterfront living and regional accessibility.
This is an uncommon opportunity to own a fully remodeled, move-in-ready gulf-access property on an expansive lot. With contemporary finishes, impact protection throughout, and strong system updates, the home is positioned for immediate enjoyment or thoughtful customization. Schedule a showing to experience the waterfront dimension and practical upgrades in person.

Editorial market perspective
Fort Myers waterfront properties—especially remodeled, gulf-access single-family homes—continue to attract strong buyer interest due to limited inventory and the premium buyers place on usable waterfront and boating access. This listing aligns with local valuation models (estimated midpoint $395,000) and presents value when factoring in recent capital improvements: impact windows/doors, newer roof, updated electric panel, tankless water heater, and a recent AC. While overall market velocity can vary by neighborhood, homes with direct Gulf access and turnkey condition generally sell faster than inland comps, and they tend to hold price better through seasonal swings. For buyers, this means competition can be brisk; for sellers, well-updated waterfront homes command attention. Given the oversized double lot and 120' of waterfront, this property sits in a niche segment with fewer comparables — making timing and pricing strategy important. Consult a local specialist for a tailored comparable-market analysis and current days-on-market/inventory figures in Fort Myers Shores before presenting offers.
