Enter the charm of Old Florida and discover a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved 1949 residence in the emerging Midtown redevelopment area of Fort Myers. Rich in character and craftsmanship, this classic home reflects the enduring quality of mid-century construction and is set against a picturesque backdrop of mature landscaping and lush native trees. This south-facing home is filled with natural light, highlighting the warmth and beauty of the original Miami-Dade pine wood flooring throughout the first floor. A cozy fireplace anchors the main living space, creating a welcoming setting for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. Recent updates by owners include freshly repainted interiors, restoration of the historic pine flooring and addition of hardwood flooring throughout the second level, enhancing the home’s character and livability. The remodeled kitchen blends modern functionality with vintage appeal and features updated plumbing, matching appliances, and an adjacent dining room or flexible living space ideal for entertaining. A well-positioned staircase leads to the second floor, where additional mid-century design elements continue the home's unique architectural charm. The home offers four spacious bedrooms and a bright Florida room that overlooks a private backyard garden that has previously been recognized as a Certified Wildlife Habitat, where native plantings attract birds and butterflies while creating a peaceful natural landscape setting rarely found this close to downtown Fort Myers. On a generous lot, the property offers ample space for future enhancements. The RS-D zoning also presents a compelling investment opportunity, allowing the conversion of the single-family residence into a two-unit structure. Additional highlights include updates to the incoming water lines, a transferable termite protection warranty covering drywood and subterranean termites, a roof replaced in 2018, and a permitted 10-by-12-foot shed added in 2022. The home is not in a flood zone. Ideally just minutes from vibrant downtown Fort Myers River District, Lee Memorial Hospital, local schools, shopping and dining, this property offers the rare chance to own a piece of Old Florida history in one of Fort Myers promising redevelopment areas.
