3608 Northwest 3rd Street
"I could live here." That’s what people say the moment they walk in—and you will too. This is NOT your typical cookie-cutter home. Featuring a unique split floor plan, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light, this home feels open, bright, and instantly inviting. The spacious kitchen with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances flows seamlessly into the bright, airy living area—perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. This home was also built to last. It successfully weathered Hurricane Ian with the protection of hurricane shutters, offering peace of mind. We watched the entire storm go through and never felt threatened. Minor roof damage was done along the ridges but had to be replaced because of a law in place when the house was built. Also covered was a fresh exterior paint in modern, contemporary tones. The split-bedroom layout separates the primary suite from the secondary bedrooms with the main living areas in between maximizing privacy, drastically cutting down on noise transmission, and allowing for flexible, multi-generational living. Big-ticket upgrades and appliance replacements: * New tile roof - 2023 – $107K value * A/C and Dishwasher - 2025 | Water heater - 2024 | Dryer - 2023 | Refrigerator - 2021 A major financial advantage: The existing flood insurance policy is transferable to the new owner if it is formally requested and legally assigned to the new owner before closing. The buyer inherits the policy's benefits, which is highly beneficial for securing lower, grandfathered NFIP rate potentially saving thousands annually, avoiding stricter new underwriting, and simplifying the closing process. What Makes This Home Stand Out • Prime location in desirable NW Cape Coral, with refreshing coastal breezes from nearby Charlotte Harbor and Pine Island Sound • City water and sewer, utilities over 50% paid • Unique, creative floor plan with exceptional flow • Formal dining room • Framed windows throughout, crown molding highlighting the highest point of the ceiling, tray ceiling in the master bedroom, 7’ sliders • Tile floors • Friendly, safe, quiet neighborhood • Vacant lot behind the property (for now), offers easier pool installation *Garden shed • 3M window tinting on all east and west facing windows to cut down the mal effects of the FL sun • Beautiful, mature landscaping including established trees providing a cooling wall of shade along the west side Please note: • The mobile kitchen center island does not convey • Home is sold as-is, though it is in excellent condition with minimal needs • Seller may consider a lease-back option Homes with this kind of feel, layout, and major upgrades don’t come around often at this price. Come see why everyone says the same thing… “I could live here.”
