Situated on approximately 0.41 acre with no HOA, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 1,175 square feet of recognized living area along with an oversized garage, extensive additional ground-level space, a spacious deck, and a backyard filled with mature landscaping and numerous fruit trees.

An updated kitchen features quartz countertops, wood soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and generous workspace, while hardwood flooring adds warmth to the adjoining living areas. Both bedrooms and two full baths are located on the main living level. Outdoor space is one of the property's standout features.

A spacious elevated deck with attractive cable railing overlooks the property and creates an inviting extension of the home's living space. The ground level provides substantial additional non-conforming space along with an oversized garage, workshop and storage areas. This space is not represented as living area or as permitted habitable space. Buyers should independently investigate its permitting history, condition, allowable use, and suitability for their intended purposes. The Iona location provides convenient access to shopping, dining and services while placing the property within easy reach of Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and the many recreational opportunities of Southwest Florida. The home will benefit from some repairs, maintenance and cosmetic attention. Property is being sold AS-IS. Buyers are encouraged to conduct thorough inspections and independently verify the condition and functionality of the HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliances, improvements and all other property components, as well as permits and allowable use of the ground-level areas. With nearly half an acre, no HOA, an updated kitchen, oversized garage, expansive deck, mature landscaping and an abundance of outdoor space, this property offers a combination of features and flexibility that can be difficult to find this close to the beaches and conveniences of Fort Myers.
