Imagine waking to the gentle shimmer of canal water and a southern sunrise spilling across an expansive screened lanai — this is daily life at 2724 SW 45th Street. Set on an oversized 0.36-acre homesite with 137 feet of water frontage, the single-story ranch welcomes you with long, unobstructed water views and a private pool framed by a newly updated lanai cage. Morning coffee tastes better here: sunlight pours through the new hurricane-rated triple sliders, warming the open living space and carrying the hush of the water indoors.
Inside, thoughtful updates blend modern convenience with relaxed Florida living. The kitchen was remodeled in 2021 and features refaced cabinetry with soft-close drawers and pull-out shelving, quartz counters, subway tile backsplash, updated lighting, and newer appliances — a bright, functional center for entertaining before an afternoon boat ride. The interior and exterior were freshly painted in 2024, and a new AC system was installed in 2021 to maintain comfortable year-round temperatures. Tile roof replacement (2023) and hurricane-rated glazing (2025) add durability and peace of mind.
The home’s layout flows easily: generous sightlines from the living room to the lanai and pool make indoor-outdoor gatherings effortless. Triple sliders open to the pool deck so you can move seamlessly from a cozy evening inside to long waterfront views outside. Outside, the almost 16,000-square-foot yard offers rare scale for Cape Coral — a huge, sunny backyard for pets, play, or adding a garden. Dock decking was redone in 2023 to support boating life, and the canal provides direct Gulf access via the South Spreader Waterway — a scenic, satisfying run to open water.
Neighborhood amenities complete the picture: Sands Park is only 0.4 miles away with pickleball, tennis courts, playgrounds and a dog park, while Cape Harbour Marina (1.2 miles) and Tarpon Point (2.5 miles) provide dining, shopping and boating services. Whether you’re seeking a full-time coastal residence, a seasonal retreat, or a strong vacation-rental opportunity, this home offers an uncommon combination of space, upgrades, and waterfront lifestyle. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully improved, it’s ready for the next owner to step into Florida waterfront living at its best.
This well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath Gulf-access pool home is ideally positioned on a wide canal with sought-after southern rear exposure, offering sun-filled days, peaceful long-water views, and a true Southwest Florida boating lifestyle. Boaters will enjoy the scenic ride to open water via the South Spreader Waterway—an experience many appreciate as part of daily waterfront living. The property boasts an almost 16,000 square foot homesite (as compared to a typical 10,000 square foot standard homesite in Cape Coral), offering a HUGE back yard for the pets or kids to play, in addition to having 137 feet of water frontage! Properties like these are hard to come by! The home has been thoughtfully updated over time, with major improvements already completed. A new AC system was installed in 2021, followed by a kitchen renovation featuring refaced cabinetry with soft-close drawers and pull-out shelving, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, updated lighting, and newer appliances. In 2023, the tile roof, lanai cage with picture window, dock decking, select windows, and landscaping were replaced or upgraded. The entire interior and exterior were freshly painted in 2024. In 2025, two triple sliders and one double slider with triple-pane, hurricane-rated glass were installed, enhancing natural light and creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the lanai and pool area. Outside, the screened lanai and pool were perfectly designed to take advantage of some of the longest water views and beautiful Florida sunrises that you'll ever see! The home is located approximately 0.4 miles from Sands Park, providing easy access to pickleball, tennis, a dog park, playground, and community amenities. Notably, the property has never experienced flooding during past storms. Well-suited for full-time living, a seasonal retreat, or a vacation rental investment, this home delivers a rare combination of views, boating access, meaningful upgrades, outdoor living, and nearby recreation.

Pelican is a prized Cape Coral canalside neighborhood prized by boaters and outdoor lovers. Streets open to wide canals, and the area’s scale and mature landscaping create a relaxed, coastal rhythm. Sands Park (0.4 miles) serves as a local hub for pickleball, tennis, playgrounds and dog-friendly space. Dining, shopping and marina life are moments away at Cape Harbour and Tarpon Point, while Rotary Park and Cape Coral Yacht Club Beach provide additional outdoor options. The neighborhood combines quiet residential streets with easy access to boating and waterfront recreation.
Cape Coral’s market for waterfront homes remains competitive and slightly tilted toward sellers for premium canalside properties. Local inventory is relatively tight at about 3.5 months — a level that supports steady pricing — while average days on market sit near 78 days, indicating properties typically require patience but sell within a reasonable timeframe. Median sale price in the area is $468,000, yet direct waterfront homes command a substantial premium; recent comparable sales and the valuation analysis place this property in the $825,000–$875,000 range with a midpoint estimate of $850,000. One-year appreciation is modest (~5%) while five-year appreciation is strong (~25%), reflecting sustained demand for Gulf-access lots. Rental demand is healthy, with an estimated monthly rent of about $4,500 supporting investment returns. Given the combination of rare lot size, 137' water frontage, recent capital improvements (tile roof 2023, sliders 2025, kitchen 2021) and constrained waterfront inventory, this is an opportune time for buyers seeking a turn-key boating property with upside — but due diligence on flood insurance and HVAC condition is recommended.
