140 SE 8th Street REINTRODUCING at a compelling new value and NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE- a rare opportunity to own a home with true character in a sea of new construction. With so many newer homes in Cape Coral offering smaller, cleared lots and a more uniform, "one-size-fits-all" feel, properties like this are becoming increasingly hard to find. Set on an oversized .36-acre lot, this home offers something most new builds simply can't-mature trees, natural privacy, and a backyard that feels alive. Here, you'll find mango and orange trees, natural bamboo for privacy, a butterfly garden, and even a mature oak-something rarely seen in Cape Coral due to the area's coral-based soil. It's a setting that feels established, peaceful, and truly like home. The large screened lanai with sliding glass doors creates an easy indoor-outdoor flow, perfect for enjoying this one-of-a-kind yard. Inside, the home is light and inviting with cathedral ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a comfortable, open layout. The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops, self-closing cabinetry, and a breakfast bar, and both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated. Tile and stone flooring run throughout for a clean, low-maintenance finish. Major updates include a newer A/C, hybrid water heater, reverse osmosis system, updated electrical panel, and LED lighting. Built with CBS construction, the home has already proven its durability through three major hurricanes with no wind or water damage. The SIDE-ENTRY GARAGE enhances curb appeal, while the fully fenced yard with gated access provides rare flexibility-ideal for securely storing a boat, work truck, or trailer in compliance with city regulations. A large shed and riding mower are included. ALL ASSESSMENTS ARE PAID!! Conveniently located near shopping, dining, schools, and parks, with Sun Splash and Lake Kennedy Park just minutes away. If you've been looking for something with personality, privacy, and a setting that can't be duplicated in today's new construction market-this is it.
