Single Family Residence for sale in Hendry Estates

Description

People call it Fort Myers' best kept secret. Tucked beneath mature tropical landscaping just steps from the Caloosahatchee River, 817 Julia Street invites you to slow down and savor a home of warmth, architectural distinction and character. Sunlight drifts through the living spaces creating the perfect setting for slow morning coffees, long dinners with friends, and doors left open to the green outdoors.You are surrounded by the creature comforts of 21st Century amenities, while the tasteful remodel of the 1927 Spanish style bungalow quietly reminds you that this place is something rare. Outside, the grounds unfold like a private oasis. Mango and coconut trees, lush plantings and a generous lawn blend seamlessly over a full half acre that includes a separate lot, a world away and yet only two miles from downtown. The possibilities are endless - a pool home, a family compound or private retreat: the possibilities are endless. Set off discreetly from the main house, a detached casita offers room for a creative studio, office or mother-in-law suite for multigenerational living. A short stroll away is Tarpon Street Park, a riverside spot for morning yoga, picnics, fishing from the pier or watching the sun sink softly below the horizon. In the evening, the pleasures of downtown Fort Myers with its restaurants, galleries, theaters, Art Walk, Music Walk and community gatherings are close at hand. For those seeking a home beyond the cookie cutter, Julia Street could be your piece of paradise. Come and see—you may find it feels less like a house you’re touring and more like a place you’d like to stay. 825 Julia Street - additional PID is 07-44-25-P3-00903.0160. The third bedroom and bath are in the Casita plus the living area includes the square footage of the casita.
