About This Home
As of August 2025Rarely available, this custom 2005-built home in Edison Park - one of Fort Myers’ most historic neighborhoods - offers unparalleled charm and sophistication. Nestled just off iconic McGregor Boulevard and steps from the Edison Ford Winter Estate, the home’s Mediterranean-inspired architecture immediately captivates with a Spanish tile roof, mature landscaping, ornate iron lanterns, and custom wooden gates that lead to a serene private courtyard.
Upon entering through the large double front doors, you’ll be greeted by an impressive foyer featuring hand-carved wooden beams, a striking staircase, a custom chandelier, and soaring ceilings. Impressive finishes such as Spanish tile, crown molding, and plantation shutters elevate the home's elegance. Just beyond the foyer, you'll find a den/study with French doors leading to the courtyard, a wood-burning fireplace, and custom shelving. The adjacent formal dining room, designed to comfortably seat 8-10, is ideal for both intimate or large gatherings.
The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, outfitted with a Butler's pantry, a 6-burner gas stove, two ovens, pot filler, center island, and abundant cabinet and counter space. The adjacent built-in breakfast nook and spacious family room make this area perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Zero-edge sliding glass doors open to the exquisite private courtyard, which features both covered and open spaces, a brick deck, custom pool with fountains, and ivy-draped privacy walls creating an oasis of tranquility. A convenient half bath is located off the foyer for easy access. The upstairs landing area features Brazilian hardwood flooring and multiple tray insets that highlight the crown molding throughout the second floor. The primary suite is a true retreat with French doors that open to a private balcony, crown molding, Travertine flooring, tray ceiling, and a luxurious bath with a soaking/jetted tub and dual sinks. Two spacious guest rooms are split from the primary, with one boasting an extended balcony overlooking the front of the home. Each guest room has its own dedicated bath and the adjacent laundry room has a utility sink and extra cabinetry. All bedrooms feature new tile floors and custom closets. A spacious upstairs den that overlooks the courtyard is ideal for home office or second living area. Other upgrades include a new tile roof less than 6 months old, a custom pool added in 2019, plus new paver driveway and paths. With 3 generous bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and nearly 3400 sq. ft. under air, there is room to roam. Perfectly situated within walking distance to the downtown Fort Myers River district, The Edison Ford Winter Estate, and Pincher’s Restaurant and Marina, this home perfectly blends historic charm with modern luxury, offering a unique living experience in one of Fort Myers’ most desirable neighborhoods.
