Situated within the gated golf community of Gateway, this well-maintained pool home offers a compelling blend of space, upgrades, and serene views overlooking the golf course and lake. With over 2,100 square feet of living area, the split-bedroom floor plan provides both functionality and privacy, complemented by volume ceilings, a spacious family room, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. A standout feature is the new $80,000 tile roof installed in 2020, providing long-term durability, enhanced curb appeal, and peace of mind for years to come. The home also features a 3-car garage, central utilities with assessments paid, and storm protection with shutters. The outdoor living area is where this property truly separates itself. The southern rear exposure is a highly desirable and limited feature within Walden Run, allowing the pool and lanai to receive sunlight throughout the day in the winter months, unlike north-facing properties which remain shaded. The screened lanai, heated pool and spa, and tranquil golf course and lake views create an ideal setting for year-round enjoyment. Residents of Gateway enjoy access to community amenities including Gateway Commons, featuring a pool and planned future enhancements such as pickleball, bocce, basketball, trails, playgrounds, and additional recreational features. The Club at Gateway offers optional memberships with access to golf, tennis, pickleball, fitness, dining, and social activities. Conveniently located near I-75, Southwest Florida International Airport (approximately 8 miles), JetBlue Park (Boston Red Sox Spring Training), Hammond Stadium (Minnesota Twins Spring Training), shopping, dining, top-rated schools, and Gulf beaches (approximately 15-19 miles), this home offers a rare combination of comfort, lifestyle, and long-term value within one of Fort Myers' most established communities.
