Furnished / unfurnished property overlooking the beautiful Caloosahatchee River
Rent in a beautiful, tranquil setting among mature trees, located a few hundred feet from Harbor Grand Highrise. Very close to downtown ft Myers and served by a free trolly bus
It is within a 4-minute boat ride from deserted little islands and local restaurants/bars with docks. Historical downtown Fort Myers is a 3-minute drive away and offers restaurants, bars, shops, a theatre, and a marina. The house is a two-minute walk from a Fort Myers River District Trolley stop, a free, seasonal public transit service connecting the downtown River District with North Fort Myers, typically running from approximately November to Easter. It is within easy reach of Ft Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Southwest Florida International Airport is a 15 to 20-minute drive, with Lee Memorial Hospital 2 miles away. Boat trips in an old-style paddle boat take you up and down the river, and a fast catamaran will take you to Key West for the day. The river offers direct access to the Gulf of Mexico.
The three private decks offer beautiful sunsets and abundant wildlife. Eagles, ospreys, parrots, and woodpeckers, among others, populate the sky and trees. Grouper, mullet, snook, red fish, and snapper have been caught in the river over the last 25 years, and manatees visit from time to time.
Four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms in 3100 square feet with central AC and central heat. A large kitchen downstairs and a galley kitchen upstairs with two living rooms and an integrated office. All the floors upstairs are hardwood, with polished porcelain tiles downstairs. Appliances include a large washer and dryer, dishwasher and two refrigerators. There are 4 smart TV's.
The backyard, approximately half an acre, is fenced and gated. It offers off-street parking, a double carport, and enough parking for two RVS and four cars.
Some photos are older, and the decks and the kitchen have been upgraded in the past year.
