Inside, an airy open floor plan keeps the main living areas connected—easy for entertaining, easy for everyday living—finished with luxury versatile flooring. The kitchen is upgraded with granite countertops, while the primary suite features a walk-in closet with a built-in organizing system. A brand-new water softener system adds practical comfort, and the two-car garage keeps storage and parking neatly handled.

In the rapidly developing northwest quadrant of Cape Coral, this cleared, buildable lot sits west of Burnt Store Road amid a backdrop of new residential construction. With no trees to remove, it offers a straightforward starting point for a future homesite, and the City of Cape Coral planning site notes no known restrictions related to protected nests on the property. Daily life here is shaped by easy access to the area’s recreational and retail mix: Coral Oaks Golf Course, the public Burnt Store Boat Ramp, and the Pine Island Corridor’s shops, restaurants, and retail options. Nearby highlights include Crystal Lake, future Tropicana Park, and the proposed Seven Islands development, planned with dining, shopping, a hotel, and a marina. Settle in and let Florida sunrises and sunsets frame what comes next.
