Sailboat access and NO flood insurance required! Welcome to this exceptional cul-de-sac, southern exposure waterfront retreat in Cape Coral’s highly desirable Cornwallis neighborhood, where wide intersecting-canal views, quick boating access, and thoughtful improvements come together in one remarkable home. Situated on a desirable, very private corner lot, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers approximately 2,140 square feet of comfortable living space and direct sailboat access with no bridges—less than 10 minutes by boat to the Caloosahatchee River. Designed for the boating lifestyle, the property features a 10,000-pound boat lift with new dock decking, and approximately 230 feet of seawall canal frontage, and a large separate dock along Moody Canal. The expansive canal setting provides beautiful intersecting canal water views, added privacy, and unforgettable sunsets. After a day on the water, relax beside the newly refinished pool or unwind in the spacious new hot tub/spa. Outdoor improvements include a new pool heater installed in 2023, along with new updated pool piping and equipment featuring Pentair smart automation added in 2025. Built in 2006, the inside of the home has been freshly painted and enhanced with new interior lighting and ceiling fans. Newly installed landscape curbing and updated landscaping add to the home’s curb appeal. Additional improvements include a 2019 tile roof, accordion shutters protecting key windows and the lanai, a whole-house generator system, and a two-car garage. The air-conditioning system was recently serviced and upgraded in 2026 with a new air-handler fan motor, condenser unit fan motor, new capacitors, and a soft-start system. Smart-home features include a Eufy security camera system, new Pentair pool and spa automation, a Hydra-wise irrigation system, and a Honeywell smart thermostat—all conveniently controlled by smartphone. The property has never flooded, and a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) confirms that flood insurance is not required. An especially valuable advantage for a Gulf-access home. With its wide-water views, fast river access, extensive improvements, and incredible intersecting canal setting, this move-in-ready waterfront retreat offers a rare opportunity to experience the very best of the Southwest Florida boating lifestyle. Furnishings are negotiable.
