ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A WATER FRONT PROPERTY TO MAKE YOUR OWN? This home did experience water intrusion during Hurricane Ian. Since the storm, the owners have remediated the interior walls, added new insulation and replaced the drywall. But, now the rest of the remodel is up to you! The gorgeous pool, pool cage, extended patio and pavers (sealed) were added in August of 2022. The roof was completed just days ago! Prior to the storm the property was used as a rental and it was a tropical paradise! There are hurricane shutters on all windows and one electric hurricane shutter that covers the sliding glass doors. There are pool alarms on the windows near the pool and on the sliding glass door for safety. The exterior was painted in 2021.The duct work was fixed for the AC in 2022. There is an exterior room that has air condition and can be used for storage or as an office/den. The pool does have a heater for those few cool nights! You can enjoy the view of the water and sunset from the sundeck in the backyard. Just a few minutes to idle to the Caloosahatchee River. This home truly has so much potential, come see it for yourself! Easy access to I-75, shopping, dining and more!
