Spectacular canalfront living awaits in this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom pool home on the Monroe Canal, sold fully furnished and ready to enjoy or continue as a successful Airbnb/VRBO. With no HOA and stunning views from every window, this home is bright, airy, and designed for comfort, convenience, and entertaining. The main living area features a spacious combined living and dining space, perfect for gatherings. The kitchen includes a gas stove top on the island with hood, all new appliances, a large island, and ample storage, including loft storage in the guest room and cedar-lined window seat storage. Instant hot water flows throughout the home, and the large laundry room and AC handler in a closet make maintenance effortless. The primary suite is a private retreat with balcony access, an ensuite bathroom with tub/shower combo, and access to an enormous attic with a finished floor, 10-foot ceilings, ventilation, and walk-around space. One guest bedroom has private access to the pool and deck, while the other shares the full guest bathroom, recently updated with a new vanity. The ground floor is fully enclosed and air-conditioned, renovated with waterproof PVC wall panels, and plumbing is already installed to add an additional bathroom if desired. Outdoor living is exceptional, with a two-story deck, heated saltwater pool (renovated 2023 with new heater and saltwater system), fenced for safety, and privacy enhanced by mature landscaping. Outdoor storage closets provide room for fishing and pool gear. The 10,000-lb boat lift has a new motor, and the dock offers water, electric, and new decking. The seawall was recently repaired with riprap to prevent erosion. Outdoor lighting creates a tranquil ambiance, and bay and sunset views from the upper porch add to the home's appeal. The outdoor AC unit is elevated to the first floor to remain unaffected by hurricanes. The home features a metal roof, and the septic tank was pumped in 2023. Surplus remodeling materials are included in the garage for future projects. Located just yards from the marina, the home offers easy pedestrian access to waterfront restaurants and the local fish market. The St. James community allows golf carts on the roads and hosts lively events such as boat parades, family weekends, and live music. Just minutes to open water and a 1/2-hour boat ride to Sanibel, this custom-built 1998 home with impact-resistant doors and windows perfectly blends indoor/outdoor living, waterfront amenities, and the Florida lifestyle-ideal as a full-time residence, vacation retreat, or income-producing Airbnb/VRBO.
