MUST SEE! Located just off historic McGregor Boulevard, this elevated, all-concrete riverfront estate offers a rare combination of scale, security, and privacy along the Caloosahatchee River. Set on a private, oversized parcel and framed by new fencing and mature, thoughtfully enhanced landscaping, the property feels intentionally secluded, yet remains only minutes from downtown Fort Myers and the vibrant River District seamlessly combining preserved architectural character with modern upgrades and advanced flood protection. This rare offering delivers both legacy appeal and contemporary peace of mind. The primary suite is a serene retreat, thoughtfully positioned to take full advantage of both garden and water views. Generous in scale, it offers space for a sitting area and features a luxurious ensuite bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and ample closet storage--creating a refined, spa-inspired sanctuary. The 4 secondary bedrooms are comfortably sized and well-appointed, providing flexibility for family, guests, executive office space, or private quarters. Their placement within the home allows for both privacy and functionality, making the layout ideal for multigenerational living or hosting extended stays. A standout feature is the presence of two fully equipped kitchens, offering remarkable versatility--perfect for entertaining on a grand scale, accommodating long-term guests, or creating a separate living suite within the home. The main living areas are spacious, warm, and inviting, blending historic details with contemporary finishes and updated systems throughout. The residence is further enhanced by a state-of-the-art flood barrier system, a significant and valuable improvement for waterfront ownership. Outdoors, the pool, fountains, river views, tropical breezes, and stunning sunset backdrops define the experience, with boating access. An exceptional opportunity to own a protected, thoughtfully updated historic waterfront estate in one of Fort Myers' most coveted riverfront settings--where character, comfort, and coastal lifestyle converge.
