RIVERFRONT GULF ACCESS! Old Florida charm abounds just minutes from the gulf beaches and state parks! This 3 bedroom, 3 bath pool home is situated on over 1/4 acre with 140 feetof frontage on the beautiful Imperial River with private boat dock and serenity galore! Get away from the busy traffic noise. Tucked back in from the road, this home sits at the quiet end of the cul-de-sac and features various fruit trees and edible plants...mango, avocado, banana, passion fruit, pomegranate, and star apple, just to name a few. Large, circular driveway is perfect for guest parking when entertaining. There is a private well on the property, which provides irrigation water for the extensive vegetation with a recently redone irrigation system and a new (2024), wirelessly operated, WiFi enabled pump. The open kitchen features two-tone solid wood cabinetry and, upscale (level 4) granite countertops and a large peninsula bar and an extended portion outside the window to the lanai, great for entertaining. Each of the 3 spacious bedrooms has its own private, updated bathroom, and classic terrazzo floors in the main living area add to the mid-century charm. This home has a maintenance-free metal roof and impact glass windows and manual hurricane shutters for maximum protection and peace of mind. The 2-car garage has been converted into the primary bedroom/bathroom suite with warm travertine tile throughout and a 4'x20' storage closet.  For additional storage, there is a large shed with a loft in the back yard, and a shaded carport pergola has been added to keep your car cool. Enjoy your private, sparkling pool (recently resurfaced with inlaid specs of blue glass and with a new (2024) pump) with plenty of covered lanai space for entertaining just steps to your private dock and fire pit area, all within a fenced yard. Watch the sunset from the large dock or enjoy the wildlife that a Florida river has to offer, such as dolphins, manatees, otters, turtles, and jumping mullet. Mangroves provide privacy, enhancing the natural setting and supporting the marine ecosystem. Bring your boat, kayak or paddleboard, and cruise the river to the beautiful gulf beaches and restaurants or paddle just minutes to the newly revitalized downtown Bonita with the food truck park, new live music venue, quaint eateries, and Riverside Park with year-round community events.
