For Sale - Active
Units n/a

Welcome to Historic Dean Park—Fort Myers’ oldest subdivision—where shaded streets and timeless character create a truly special neighborhood. Just a short walk from the vibrant Downtown River District, this 1915 residence offers two homes for the price of one, blending historic charm with modern comfort. Originally built by John Dean, the neighborhood’s namesake and developer, this rare property honors its past while delivering today’s lifestyle. The main home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a powder bath, a music room/office, and a perfectly scaled 16' x 28' gathering room. The oversized eat-in kitchen includes a full-size stainless refrigerator and freezer, wet bar, solid cypress beam ceilings, and walls of windows that flood the space with natural light. A wall of 8’ sliding glass doors opens to a spacious screened lanai overlooking the private pool—perfect for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. A separate guest house with its own private entrance is ideal for visitors, a mother-in-law suite, or as a rental for extra income. The main home has never experienced flooding, and the seller can provide an elevation certificate upon request.
