1939 SE 17th PL

Boat to the river, walk to a movie. This Gulf-access pool home in SE Cape Coral is move-in ready in the literal sense: roof 2021, impact windows 2018, a brand-new water heater, and fresh paint throughout, with owners whose eye for color shows in every room. No flooding or storm damage through Ian, Helene and Milton.

High ceilings carry the great room into a kitchen with granite counters, a long run of workspace, and a built-in wall of storage that does the job of a pantry. Two flex rooms off the foyer give you an office, a formal dining room, or both. The lanai faces east, so morning coffee by the heated pool comes with shade by the afternoon. The water side is set up and waiting — concrete seawall and dock, a tiki hut for the end of the day, and a 6,000 lb lift with canopy. The way out is simple: down Everest, under Veterans, one 8'5" bridge, about two miles to open water.

Then there's the part most canal homes can't offer: the house sits just behind Coralwood Mall, so the theater, restaurants, a gym, Aldi and Hobby Lobby are on foot, Publix and a bowling alley are close by, and Four Mile Cove Eco Preserve and Veterans Memorial Park are a few minutes away. No HOA. Well cared for, ready to enjoy, and priced to sell — in a spot where the errands take care of themselves.
