Ft Myers is a low key slower-paced town located on the tropical Gulf of Mexico in Lee County, Florida.  Fishing is the favorite passtime here.  Ft Myers was once the winter home of Thomas Edison and the house is a museum.  Ft. Myers has a historic downtown area and also a modern area called Riverwalk with with a few shops and restaurants but it is relatively quiet.  Ft Myers has every convenience, a Walmart, plenty of restaurants and best of all... some of the best beaches.  I drove to Sanibel Island and collected shells, I saw a dolphin come right up to the shore.  Ft Myers Beach is 12 miles away and it is a nice beach town.  Sanibel Island is famous for shell collecting and the beaches have nice fine white sand.  Snorkel trips to the Florida Keys can be taken from Fort Myers Beach.  The house is centrally located in Fort Myers with easy access to shops and downtown.  Publix is the local grocery store.  Every shop you could ever want is within a mile or two.  Fort Myers has a nice modern library with lots of computers to work on to check your email.  Cleveland route 41 is the main drag here with a Home Depot, CVS, Outback Steakhouse, Starbuck's, Big Lots, Chinese, Italian and Seafood close by and a shopping and outlet malls and lots of stores.  The 75 freeway takes you all over Florida.  A small drive away is Coconut Mall which is a huge deluxe mall with theaters and every shop you could want.  Downtown Naples is further south and has a nice pier for fishing, beatiful upscale shops downtown.  Homes is Naples range from $800K to well over a million. This house is convenient to all.  No surprises.  What is listed is what you get.  House is priced right and is 90% complete.  I have a local contractor who can complete the work for you.  READY TO RENT OR MOVE INTO RIGHT NOW.  I was cited by the City for doing a remodel without a permit and for no permit for the windows.  My contractor is drawing up site plans and will pull the necessary permits.  The work on the windows and doors needs to be completed within 6 months and inspected by the City Inspector.  Extensions can be obtained if you need more time.  My Contractor would do this work for about $1300.  You could check with him.  He is a reliable licensed guy who knows his stuff.  All new interior doors were put in the house.  The contractor has to redo the two new white exterior doors to code, just a minor adjustment.  House is 90% complete.  New flooring has been installed as you can see and it looks great.  "As is where is."  View anytime.  Call to arrange.

If you plan on purchasing the house for your home you should know about the Florida Homestead Declaration.  A simple form that you file with the court or recorder which states that the house is indeed your homestead or where you live.  This protects your equity in your home up to $125K I believe (not sure on the amount).  But it is worth looking into.  Florida protects homeowners like no other state.  Many people flock to Florida for protection from creditors and frivolous lawsuits.  You also get a break on your taxes with the Homestead Exemption which is separate exemption from the Homestead Declaration.  Creditors are reluctant to attach homes in Florida.  They can still attach your house and sell it, but you get to keep a certain portion of your equity.

This is a good place to winter and to go the beach, golf, or fishing.  This part of Florida is a golfer's paradise many award winning courses to choose from.  Not much snow here.  There is not a lot of nightlife in Fort Myers but some of the places to go are below.  BID WITH CONFIDENCE SELLER HAS EXCELLENT FEEDBACK.    (Naples Pier) Just a few of the restaurants and bars for entertainment include:  Outrigger Tiki Bar for sunsets (Fort Myers Beach).  The Cottage for music.  Envie bar for dancing.  The Veranda Piano and Jazz bar.  Sky Bar overlooking the river.  Please do your diligence and inspections

before you bid.  Thank you for viewing my listing.  Seller reserves the right to end

the auction early if a buyer comes along because the house is being advertised in

other places.  Come on down and take a look.  Give me a call.
