Property Description

Step into a mid-century gem where original terrazzo floors gleam under morning light pouring through the front of the home. This lovingly restored 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat in the heart of Tanglewood pairs timeless architecture with a backyard that feels like a private botanical escape — one that faces west, so evenings here come with sunset views over the garden.Tended by a master gardener for decades, the fully fenced rear yard is a thriving, drought-tolerant tropical landscape that shifts and blooms with the seasons — a living view that changes with rainfall and is backlit by golden hour each night. It's the kind of setting that turns casual hangouts into requests to host the next birthday party or holiday gathering, thanks to an open layout built for entertaining.This home has been prepared for the long haul, so you can focus on living rather than maintaining: new roof (2022), new A/C (2024), new water heater (2023), reinforced and certified cast iron plumbing (2022), all new kitchen appliances (2023), and a new washer (2024). The terrazzo floors were professionally restored in 2021 and include adjustable radiant heat for cooler winter evenings.The primary suite offers a true private enclave, with a spacious walk-in closet, an en-suite bath featuring well-preserved vintage tile, and a mini-split A/C (2025) for personalized comfort without having to cool the whole house.Location is everything here. Tanglewood Elementary is a four-minute drive, golf is five minutes away, and the Cape Coral and Midpoint bridges are both within five minutes. Downtown Fort Myers is just 12 minutes out, and the beach is roughly 20 — all from a quiet, deed-restricted neighborhood with no HOA, friendly neighbors, and golf-cart-friendly streets.A rare combination of restored character, modern reliability, and a garden sanctuary **A true bird and butterfly oasis in the middle of the city - unlike anything else on the market.** Schedule your private showing today.
