Property Description
Originally built in 1915, this distinctive property offers something buyers dream of finding: two separate residences with the potential to generate income from one real estate investment! Featuring a spacious main home PLUS a separate cottage, this unique property opens the door to exciting possibilities for investors, homeowners, and multigenerational families alike.
The main residence blends historic character with generous living spaces, featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a powder room, a music room or home office, and an impressive 16' x 28' gathering room. The oversized eat-in kitchen boasts full-size stainless-steel refrigerator and freezer units, a wet bar, beautiful solid cypress beam ceilings, and abundant natural light. A wall of 8-foot sliding glass doors opens to a spacious screened lanai overlooking your private pool—creating an inviting setting for entertaining or relaxing in true Florida style.
The separate cottage, with its own private entrance, adds even more flexibility and value. Opportunities to own two distinct living spaces on one property are increasingly attractive to buyers seeking rental income potential, additional living arrangements, or long-term investment flexibility.
Located in Historic Dean Park, Fort Myers' oldest subdivision, this property is just a short walk from the vibrant Downtown River District, with its restaurants, shops, entertainment, and waterfront attractions.
WHY BUY ONE HOME WHEN YOU CAN OWN TWO? Discover the possibilities of combining historic charm, flexible living, and income potential in one exceptional property. Whether you're an investor searching for your next opportunity or a buyer looking to make your money work harder, 2740 Rhode Island Avenue deserves a place at the top of your showing list!
