This freshly updated and furnished, 3BR/2BA, ranch style home offers that easy, comfortable Florida lifestyle. It has a gorgeous, heated pool with a brand-new heater in 2024, a waterfall feature, screen enclosure, plus a covered poolside lounging area with TV - and because it's enclosed with vinyl sliders it truly feels like an extension of the living space. You'll love the long lake views and beautiful eastern exposure to capture the morning light over serene water views. Inside, the spacious modern kitchen is a standout - shaker style cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, pantry, beverage cooler, and additional counter + cabinetry added specifically for prep + storage. It's generous, open to the great room, and the vaulted ceilings make everything feel even larger and more inviting. The home features luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout (2023) with tile in the baths, a 2023 roof, and 2022 air conditioning - so major value items already done. The split bedroom layout keeps the owner's suite private… guests comfortable… everyone happy. Gladiolus Preserve is a gated community of about 240 homes with a pool, clubhouse, gym + children's play area… and the location is incredibly convenient. Only 1/2 mile to Healthpark Hospital and the library… close to shopping + dining… 15-20 minutes to Sanibel + Ft. Myers Beach… and about 30 minutes to the airport. This is one of those homes that has been thoughtfully updated and cared for. It truly lives beautifully both inside and out! Plus low HOA fees, no CDD fees, and a well for irrigation to moderate your cost of living.
