Two story homes are not the norm in most conventional developments in SW Florida. This custom designed, 3BR/2.5BA home has distinctive characteristics that sets it apart from the ordinary. All the pictures and even this description cannot do it justice. This is THE home you absolutely need to see to truly appreciate, especially now with a great new, REDUCED PRICE! The gorgeous sunlit atrium greets you when you enter. The open living area is over 800 sq ft of flexible space with a wall of windows overlooking the backyard and waterway, to use as YOU need. In addition, there's an office with built-in desks, a convenient 1/2 guest bath, the separate kitchen with cabinets and counter space galore, a large breakfast nook and laundry w/pantry. The first floor alone boasts over 1,600 sq ft under cool AC, nearly as large as the average whole house. The garage is large enough for both cars plus space for shelving and the included fridge. Going upstairs gives you 1,000+ sq ft reserved for 3 great sized bedrooms and 2 full baths making a peaceful retreat from a hectic day or noisy activity going on downstairs. Palm Shores is a lovely, riverfront community without deed restrictions or an HOA. From your backyard it is less than 1200 feet down the canal to the open water of the amazing Peace River. Not a bridge in sight until you get to I-75. Your boating journeys can include fishing, bird watching or just cruising this pristine river. Enjoy lunch or dinner at a number of wonderful waterfront restaurants. A 4-point inspection from 05/12/26 shows how well this home has been lovingly maintained, updated and upgraded.
