Welcome to this tranquil former model home in The Estates at Estero River-an established waterfront community on the Estero River and located in an X flood zone. This quality-built residence offers 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a 3-car garage, and a sunny southern-facing backyard with a relaxed HOA. Inside, tall ceilings, abundant natural light, and plantation shutters create an inviting atmosphere. The updated kitchen features stacked custom cabinetry, while the refreshed bathrooms showcase classic marble countertops. A spacious open living area encourages gatherings, complemented by a separate formal space. Upstairs, the primary retreat includes a sitting area with a morning bar-flexible enough to convert into a 5th bedroom-plus a covered balcony overlooking the peaceful preserve. The fourth bedroom is very generous with built-ins and enough space for an in-home theater, fitness area, or game room. Step outside to your private oasis with a sparkling pool, spa, pool bath, and paver patio for grilling. The fenced yard offers plenty of space for kids or pets, with no HOA breed or weight restrictions, and play sets are permitted. Rear neighbors are buffered by a 5-acre preserve, ensuring privacy and a natural backdrop. The oversized 3-car garage includes overhead storage for vehicles, a golf cart, motorcycles, or recreational toys. The community canoe/kayak launch offers endless entertainment for the whole family. Ideally located in the heart of Estero, this home places K-12 schools and FGCU within 6 miles, and RSW Airport just 15 minutes away. Medical professionals will appreciate the proximity to nearby hospitals. Enjoy the included canoe for peaceful paddles on the Estero River to Koreshan State Park, or explore Estero Community Park's fitness center, classes, and after-school programs. High 5 Entertainment and the proposed Bonita-Estero Rail Trail are nearby, and Coconut Point's dining, shopping, entertainment, and farmers markets are just a short golf-cart ride away. Don't miss this well-maintained home in a hidden-gem community at the center of everything Estero has to offer.
