A distinctive riverview estate along Fort Myers' historic McGregor corridor, 1205 Caloosa Drive combines architectural character, exceptional scale and a private waterfront setting just minutes from the River District. Set on approximately 0.69 acre along the Caloosahatchee River, this 1936 residence offers approximately 5,680 square feet of living space with 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, a private pool and no HOA. Extensively renovated over the years while retaining the character of its original architecture, the home provides an impressive collection of living and entertaining spaces. Formal living and dining areas are complemented by a home office, game/media space and two kitchens, creating flexibility for entertaining, extended guests or multigenerational living. Hardwood and tile flooring, impact windows and doors, generous room proportions and abundant natural light contribute to a home that feels substantial without sacrificing warmth. The primary suite takes advantage of garden and water views and offers room for a sitting area, an ensuite bath with dual vanities, soaking tub and walk-in shower, and generous closet space. Four additional bedrooms and baths provide considerable flexibility for family, guests and private work-from-home accommodations. Outdoor living is central to the property. Mature landscaping and established palms frame the oversized homesite, while balconies and outdoor entertaining areas take advantage of views toward the Caloosahatchee River. The pool, covered lanai, fountains and surrounding hardscape create a private setting for entertaining or relaxing while enjoying the riverfront environment. Located just off historic McGregor Boulevard, the property offers convenient access to downtown Fort Myers and the River District while maintaining the privacy and presence of an established residential estate. With direct river frontage and boating access, the location provides an opportunity to enjoy the waterfront lifestyle for which Southwest Florida is known. The residence would benefit from some minor repairs, refreshing and personalization, providing the next owner an opportunity to make this significant property their own while building upon its existing architecture, scale and improvements. Property is being sold AS-IS. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own inspections and independently verify the condition and functionality of all systems, components, appliances, improvements, pool and waterfront features, as well as permitting, flood information and any other matters important to their purchase. Agents: Please review all private remarks and MLS supplements prior to scheduling a showing or submitting an offer.
