This furnished well-kept 3-bed, 2-bath, 2-car garage POOL HOME is in the sought-after Santa Barbara neighborhood, across the street from waterfront homes, on a street of manicured lawns and real pride of ownership. NO flood zone, NO HOA, NO assessments, and the home has never flooded. Peace of mind is built in, with a 2018 shingle roof, accordion and manual hurricane shutters, and a generator hook-up with the generator INCLUDED. Inside, the bright great-room floor plan is full of natural light. The split layout gives the owner's suite (walk-in closet, en-suite bath) its own side of the home, while two guest bedrooms share a full bath on the other. There's an inside laundry room with washer and dryer. Out back is your private oasis: a spacious electric and solar heated saltwater pool with a newer heater, a newer salt chlorinator, a 2024 pump and a custom pool cover. There's room for sunning and shaded outdoor dining, and an outdoor shower and utility tub make beach and boat days easy. New landscaping, a new fence and outdoor lighting frame a large yard planted with native, butterfly-attracting plants and quality fruit trees from organic growers in Miami. With no pet or rental restrictions, it works as a full-time home, a seasonal getaway or an income property. It's centrally located near Cape Coral High School, shopping, dining, and both saltwater and freshwater boat ramps. Gulf beaches, Sanibel, Fort Myers and RSW Airport are an easy drive away. Affordable, carefree Florida living starts here!
