Calling all boaters and anglers-this is the Southwest Florida lifestyle you've been waiting for! Nestled in the highly desirable McGregor Corridor/Whiskey Creek area, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath DIRECT GULF ACCESS pool home puts you just MINUTES FROM OPEN WATER. Located near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic, you can enjoy peaceful residential living while keeping your boat right in your own backyard. Step outside, lower it from the 5,000-lb electric boat lift and head out for a day of fishing, boating, waterfront dining or exploring everything our beautiful waterways have to offer! Inside, this home is much larger than it appears and filled with character and thoughtful updates. Vinyl plank flooring and crown molding flow throughout, while the remodeled kitchen features crisp white shaker cabinetry, sleek black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant storage and an impressive oven that offers induction, convection and air-fryer cooking. In addition to the living room, an INCREDIBLE oversized family room provides even more space to spread out, entertain or simply relax. With a dramatic vaulted tongue-and-groove/shiplap ceiling, plantation shutters, hurricane-impact windows and its own dedicated A/C system, this room is an absolute showstopper with endless possibilities. The spacious primary bedroom features beautiful mahogany wood sliding barn doors, while skylights in both bathrooms fill the spaces with natural light. The attached 2-car garage offers laundry, generous storage, a workshop/workbench area and additional attic storage. Outside is where Florida living truly takes center stage. Cool off in the Black Diamond lap pool overlooking the tranquil canal, relax poolside with a cold drink, or head down to your private dock and boat lift for an afternoon on the water. The beautifully landscaped yard and irrigation system complete your waterfront oasis. Major improvements provide even more peace of mind, including a TILE ROOF (2016), A/C (2022), WHOLE-HOME GENERAC GENERATOR with buried propane tank (2024), HOT WATER HEATER (2025) and hurricane-impact windows on most windows. (Hurricane shutters for the couple that are not) All of this in an incredible Fort Myers location just minutes from downtown, dining, shopping and entertainment. Whether you're an avid fisherman, passionate boater or simply dream of spending your days by the water, this home delivers the lifestyle Southwest Florida is famous for. Your boat is in the backyard, open water is just minutes away, the pool is waiting-and paradise starts right at home.
