Welcome to your effortlessly stylish waterfront escape, where every day feels like a page out of a Jimmy Buffett song. Nestled just one canal off the Caloosahatchee River in the sought-after River Forest boating community, this 3 Bed, 2 Bath home blends laid-back luxury with unbeatable access to the water. Out back, your own personal paradise awaits—featuring a crystal-clear open-air pool with a self-cleaning system, an expansive paver deck perfect for sun-soaked afternoons, and a screened-in tiki bar complete with a built-in outdoor kitchen. Whether you're blending margaritas or firing up the grill, this is a backyard built for good vibes and great company.
The oversized Trex dock offers space for multiple boats and is equipped with electric—ideal for the boating enthusiast. With sailboat-accessible deep water, a private kayak launch, and long canal views that stretch peacefully to the horizon, this home lives like a waterfront resort.
Inside, the open-concept layout is filled with natural light and coastal charm. The great room offers expansive water views and a custom shiplap fireplace feature wall, flanked by built-in shelving. The kitchen is both bright and functional with white cabinetry, quartz counters, a farmhouse sink, brick backsplash, and a generous center island that invites guests to gather. The dining area includes a decorative accent wall for a touch of coastal flair.
The primary suite adds comfort and character with a cozy fireplace feature wall and built-ins, while the guest bath offers a spa-like retreat with a multi-head shower experience. Two guest bedrooms also feature built-ins for extra convenience.
Recent upgrades include a metal roof (2018), impact-rated tinted windows & doors, new HVAC, ductwork, insulation, and wiring (2023), remote-controlled blinds, and updated window treatments throughout. Whether you're docking the boat, lounging poolside, or enjoying tiki time under the palms, this home delivers the full Margaritaville lifestyle—sunny, carefree, and made for enjoying every coastal moment.
