Property Description
Tucked along a peaceful canal on an oversized, landscaped lot of nearly half an acre, this property offers something rare on the island: room to breathe, privacy to unwind, and the freedom to enjoy both the water and the beach moments from your doorstep.
From quiet mornings watching the wildlife along the canal to afternoons spent boating or relaxing by the pool, life here is to be enjoyed. The expansive backyard is a private tropical escape, complete with a heated pool and spa, generous lounging areas, and a screened-in balcony overlooking the water. For boating enthusiasts, a private dock with a 10,000-pound boat lift and direct Gulf access makes spontaneous boating part of daily life.
Inside, the home has warmth and character. Soaring 21-foot ceilings welcome you into the great room, where natural light, beautiful wood-look flooring, and a wood-burning fireplace create an impressive, inviting space. The open layout was designed for gathering, whether it's an intimate evening by the fire or a house full of friends and family sharing stories after a day at the beach.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen brings together function and personality with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a professional-grade eight-burner gas stove. It's a space made for cooking, entertaining, and the simple pleasure of being together. The primary suite offers its own peaceful retreat, complete with a private sitting area, generous closet space, and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring dual rainfall showerheads, a separate soaking tub, and dual vanities. Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests, while the spacious upstairs loft offers flexibility for a home office, creative studio, or additional lounge. Throughout the property, thoughtful details reflect a home designed to be lived in and enjoyed. A whole-home generator, impact-resistant windows and doors, a newer roof reported as installed in 2020, generous storage, and space for a future private elevator add practicality to its coastal charm. And while the home feels wonderfully tucked away, the white sandy beaches of the Gulf are just a short walk away, with nearby restaurants, shopping, and the beloved island lifestyle all within easy reach. What makes 211 Sterling Avenue special isn't just its size, its waterfront setting, or its many features. It's the feeling of being here. The peaceful mornings, the salt air, the connection to nature, and the opportunity to create lasting memories in a place that encourages you to enjoy every moment. This is more than a waterfront home. It's an invitation to experience Fort Myers Beach the way it was meant to be lived.
