YOUR BOAT. YOUR POOL. YOUR WATERFRONT BACKYARD. YOUR FLORIDA VACATION—EVERY DAY!
Featured in the Boston Globe's HOME OF THE WEEK!
Imagine waking up and deciding whether today’s adventure will be a morning fishing trip, lunch by boat, an afternoon cruising the river or cocktails by the pool while the sun sets over Southwest Florida. This is the Florida lifestyle you’ve been dreaming about—and you can live it every day!
Located in the sought-after River Forest boating community, this beautifully updated Direct Gulf Access pool home sits on over 1/3 acre with an impressive 105 feet of waterfront. Your private dock features Trex decking & a 10,000-lb. boat lift (new 2023), making it super easy to step aboard & head out to the Caloosahatchee River and Gulf waters beyond.
No waiting. No marina. No HOA fees. Just grab the keys, untie the boat and GO!
Explore Southwest Florida by water—fishing your favorite spots, discovering waterfront restaurants, cruising at sunset or making a day of it on the Gulf. Then come home to your own private tropical retreat where the fun continues with a heated pool and expansive paver lanai designed for entertaining, relaxing and soaking up that Florida sunshine. Solar lighting adds the perfect ambiance for those magical evenings outdoors.
Inside, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home+ air-conditioned bonus room/den has been beautifully remodeled with a sophisticated Coastal Florida feel and is offered completely furnished, so you can start enjoying it immediately. Beautiful ceramic tile flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, elegant Moda glass doors and a gorgeous remodeled kitchen with high-end Samsung appliances (2023) make this home as stylish as it is comfortable.
The remodeled bathrooms feature thoughtful touches throughout, including a farmhouse sink in the guest bath and an expansive vanity area in the primary bath. The primary bedroom also features a custom closet organization system.
A spacious dedicated laundry room includes a laundry sink, abundant storage and premium Samsung washer and dryer (2023).
The list of improvements means you can spend less time worrying about the house and more time enjoying it: new roof (2023), new gutters (2025), private well-fed irrigation system (2025), new pool equipment (2022) & an epoxy-finished 2-car garage.
And the lifestyle doesn’t stop at your property line. River Forest is a friendly, established boating neighborhood with NO HOA FEES, plus an optional social club right across the street where neighbors gather for clubs, activities and social events—all for a low annual fee.
You’re also close to I-75, The Boathouse, shopping, dining, schools, the airport & Gulf beaches - easy access to everything that makes Southwest Florida so desirable.
Whether you’re looking for your year-round Florida escape, a snowbird retreat, a second home or simply a place where every day feels like vacation, this one checks all the boxes!
This isn’t just a waterfront home. It’s a lifestyle!
