5305 23rd Ave, Cape Coral, FL, 33914

This is a boater’s address: sited on intersecting canals with wide-water vistas, 5305 SW 23rd Ave pairs Gulf access with an oversized quarter-acre lot and a polished, fully renovated interior. The 2023 remodel transformed the home into a bright, modern retreat—9.5' ceilings, LVP flooring, recessed lighting and triple-panel stacking sliders that open the living area to waterfront poolside living. The result is a layout that feels both generous and purposeful: living areas oriented toward the water, bedrooms tucked into a split floorplan for privacy.

The heart of the home is a chef-forward kitchen finished in 2023 with soft-close cabinetry to the ceiling, stainless appliances and a dramatic 9-foot quartz waterfall island designed to anchor gatherings. The primary suite faces the canal and delivers a spa-like bath with a freestanding soaking tub, oversized tiled shower and a double vanity, plus a walk-in closet sized for two. Two full bathrooms and three additional bedrooms accommodate family, guests or a home office wing.

Outside, the property reads like a private resort. A heated pool and picture-window screened enclosure (installed 2023) sit between the house and the dock; the dock received wrapped pilings in 2023 and the boat lift has new motors (2025). Seawall protection, electric shutters for windows and doors, fenced yard with puppy pickets and recent exterior paint complete the outdoor package. Practical upgrades include a new standing-seam metal roof (2023), gutters and soffits (2024), new water heater (2025) and updated garage door motor (2023).

Location amplifies the lifestyle—just minutes from Cape Harbour, Rumrunners and The Westin for waterfront dining, weekend brunches and sunset cruises. Frequent visitors to the canal include manatees and the occasional dolphin, underscoring the rare combination of privacy and marine access. The house is being offered move-in ready; select furniture is negotiable for buyers seeking a turnkey coastal home.

Thoughtful maintenance and recent systems upgrades make this an exceptional Gulf-access offering: modern finishes, durable construction details and immediate water access combine to deliver a low-hassle, high-enjoyment Southwest Florida home that performs equally well as a primary residence or a seasonal retreat.
