Step into history with this beautifully remodeled Craftsman-style brick home, located in the heart of Fort Myers' Historic Dean Park. Originally purchased by Henry & Jennie Colquitt in 1923 and completed in 1926, this unique property blends vintage charm with modern updates. The Colquitts were key figures in Fort Myers' real estate development and helped create the iconic Colquitt Building in 1925. Just 1 mile from Downtown Fort Myers, this turnkey property includes two dwellings — the main house and a guest house — both fully renovated after Hurricane Ian. The main house offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, featuring spacious living and dining areas perfect for gatherings. With a King bed in one bedroom and a Queen bed in the other, plus a pull-out couch, this home comfortably accommodates guests. Enjoy a private heated pool in the backyard and TVs in both bedrooms and the main living room. Located just a block from the free trolley stop (Nov-April), you’ll have easy access to downtown’s vibrant dining and entertainment scene. The guest house, a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat, has been completely updated with new flooring, kitchen, bath, and HVAC. It also has a private patio for added privacy and relaxation. The property is in a peaceful, walkable, and historic neighborhood, ideal for enjoying the quiet charm of Fort Myers while being just minutes from downtown excitement. There’s a pet sitter co-host available if needed, and bicycles are available upon request. This location is safe, quiet, and perfect for strolling through the neighborhood.
