THIS ISN'T JUST A HOME—IT'S A LIFESTYLE! Quality construction, thoughtful design, and an incredible location come together in this beautifully maintained home in Bayside Estates. Situated just steps from the clubhouse and pool, this 2-bedroom home also offers an office/sunroom that provides flexible additional living space. With up to five parking spaces and a full garage beneath the home, there is room for vehicles, storage, and all the extras that come with enjoying Southwest Florida. The quality of construction is one of the features that truly sets this home apart. Built on a substantial steel I-beam structure with a 12' steel frame, 2x10 floor joists, 2x6 walls, concrete pad, and helical supports beneath the steel beams, the home was designed with durability in mind. Hurricane windows, a hurricane-rated garage door, steel garage siding, composite decking and stairs, and a premium insulation package add to the home's thoughtful construction. Inside, you'll find 9' ceilings, complete drywall, LVP flooring throughout, recessed lighting, and a chandelier over the dining area. The kitchen features an island and quality appliances, while the primary suite offers a double-sink vanity and large walk-in closet. The Allied commercial HVAC system features a variable-speed heat pump with 18.2 SEER2 efficiency. A screened lanai overlooks the community and creates the perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine at the end of the day or coffee at the beginning. Get this...paver area ready for a hot tub. And then there is Bayside Estates. This is a community where neighbors gather, activities are plentiful, and there is always something happening at the clubhouse. Residents have access to a community pool, pickleball, tennis, shuffleboard, horseshoes, bocce, fitness facilities, library, community room, cards, gatherings, and a busy social calendar. All of this with a very low HOAfee! Best of all, the location puts you just 2.5 miles from the sugar-sand beaches of Fort Myers Beach. Ride your bike to the island, take the trolley, or make the quick drive to the beach, restaurants, entertainment, and waterfront destinations. The Sanibel Causeway is also just minutes away, opening the door to spectacular sunsets, shelling, boating, and exploring everything Southwest Florida has to offer. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, seasonal retreat, or a place to enjoy between adventures, this home delivers a rare combination of quality construction, community, and proximity to the beach.
