219 SE 1st Place Recently improved in price, this beautifully upgraded waterfront home offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy canal living with comfort, value, and peace of mind already in place. This home offers something increasingly hard to find-waterfront living without the added cost and concern of a flood zone. Set along a peaceful freshwater canal, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath split-bedroom home delivers the kind of space, comfort, and lifestyle families are looking for, paired with meaningful upgrades that bring real peace of mind. From the moment you walk in, the home feels open and inviting, with a layout that gives everyone room to spread out while still staying connected. Natural light draws you toward the backyard, where everyday living naturally extends outdoors. This is where the home really sets itself apart. With no pool cage, you'll enjoy open skies, full sun, and wide canal views-creating a space where kids can swim, families can gather, and evenings by the water feel easy and relaxed. The outdoor living has been thoughtfully designed to give you the best of both worlds. In addition to the open-air pool and spa, there is a screened lanai featuring an expandable teak dining table and comfortable conversation area-perfect for shaded meals or relaxing while watching the summer rain. The custom pebble-tec pool and spa, completed in 2022, features in-water seating, mosaic detailing, and deck jets, all set within porcelain tile decking. A firepit seating area, captain's walk along the water, and a newly fenced yard with automatic locking gates add both function and peace of mind, making the space as practical as it is enjoyable. Beyond the lifestyle, this home stands out for its cost efficiency and storm protection. A new roof in 2023, extensive hurricane protection with easy-to-close shutters, and automatic roll-down shades on the lanai provide both convenience and confidence. Updated plumbing and other key improvements help reduce the burden of future expenses, while the home's location outside of a flood zone adds another layer of long-term savings. Can be offered turnkey furnished, this home is ready to enjoy from day one, whether as a full-time residence or a part-time retreat. A transferable home warranty covering major systems adds even more peace of mind for the next owner. While it has been used as a short-term rental, it truly lives like a comfortable family home-designed to make memories, enjoy the water, and embrace the Southwest Florida lifestyle without unnecessary upkeep or expense.
