A Charming Cottage on a Half-Acre Haven -Steeped in “Old Florida” character and built in 1947, this delightful 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath cottage sits on a lush, half-acre fenced lot that’s never flooded. Approaching via the Craftsman-style front door, you’re greeted by the warmth of heart-pine floors, original beamed cathedral ceilings, and vintage charm thoughtfully updated for modern living.
Spend lazy mornings in the sun-lit florida room, sheltered by Bahama shutters, with a steaming cup of coffee. Gather around the fireplace in the living room, or dine and cook in the bright, open kitchen—both spaces have lots of natural light and invite relaxed, intimate gatherings.
The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet. A roomy second bedroom also has walk-in closet and opens to a private deck, bringing the outdoors in, while the cozy office/3rd bedroom and laundry area—complete with a convenient half-bath—gracefully occupy their own wing. French doors from the kitchen, office, lead to a sprawling rear deck, complete with an outdoor shower—add to a perfect day spent at the beach.
Beyond the cottage’s doorstep, the park-like grounds beckon. Over half an acre of fully fenced space—complete with mature fruit trees, a cedar storage shed, and irrigation well—invites joyful days of play or the creation of your dream poolscape. Off-street parking is plentiful, ideal for boats, cars, or golf carts.
This home is located just 2 miles from the amenities of the historic district in downtown Fort Myers. Sitting a short walk from the riverfront park, this home enjoys peaceful sunset views while being surrounded by a community earmarked for revitalization. The City of Fort Myers is investing here, including a new community pier slated for 2025—making this cottage not just a serene retreat, but a sound investment, too.
