Beneath the canopy of mature trees that recalls the historic character of McGregor Boulevard, this waterfront residence offers a setting where life naturally extends outdoors. Positioned on a seawalled canal with direct access to the Caloosahatchee River, the property pairs exceptional boating amenities with thoughtfully curated indoor and outdoor spaces designed for entertaining, gathering and everyday living. A private dock with a 13,000-pound boat lift provides convenient access to Southwest Florida's waterways, while the backyard creates a destination of its own. Piazza lights woven through the tree canopy cast a warm glow overhead, creating an inviting atmosphere that encourages conversation well into the evening. A commercial-scale tiki structure anchors the outdoor living experience with an outdoor kitchen, multiple televisions, generous seating areas, a fire pit and a hot tub, providing flexible spaces for entertaining throughout the year. The home's distinctive design incorporates carefully selected architectural elements with unique provenance. According to the seller, the green laundry door originated as the front door of an 1845 Moroccan residence, while the aluminum media room door was repurposed from a 1937 commercial refrigeration unit. Throughout the home, reclaimed materials and custom finishes celebrate craftsmanship and thoughtful design. A textured tile accent wall anchors the living space with a linear electric fireplace, creating a contemporary focal point. The open kitchen is designed to accommodate gatherings of every size with commercial-style refrigerator and freezer towers, quartz countertops, a copper range hood, a French door oven with copper accents, a warming drawer and an expansive walk-in pantry. The pantry is finished with bold geometric wallpaper, open shelving and, according to the seller, a striking red door dating to 1905that was originally part of the Tampa courthouse and retains its original milk glass doorknob. The dedicated wine tasting room offers a memorable entertaining experience with custom metal wine racks and walls finished with reclaimed wine crates, creating a distinctive setting for showcasing and enjoying a collection. From its direct boating access and mature waterfront landscape to its collection of reclaimed architectural details and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces, this Fort Myers residence offers a distinctive combination of history, craftsmanship and modern waterfront living.
