3951 Arlington St Fort Myers, FL 33901

Built in 1957 and thoughtfully renovated in 2023, 3951 Arlington Street is where true mid-century modern character meets the upgrades today's buyers want. The low, sweeping roofline and one-of-a-kind windows make this one of the most distinctive homes in Palm Lee Park, filling the home with natural light throughout the day.The 2023 renovation focused on what matters most in Florida: a new roof, new AC, electrical and plumbing upgrades, new doors, and select windows replaced with impact-rated windows. Inside, the open kitchen with new countertops and custom cabinetry flows into the living and dining areas, finished with fresh paint, new lighting and high-quality floating luxury vinyl plank floors. Both bathrooms were fully renovated. True to its roots, the home keeps its original terrazzo floors, on full display in the den. That spacious flex room is currently used as an art studio and works just as well as a playroom, office, gym or guest space.Step outside and you'll see how much care the owners have poured into every inch of this property. Since 2023, they've transformed the yard into a series of outdoor living spaces. Multiple paver patios and lounge areas are spread across the oversized lot, so there's always a place for a quiet morning coffee, a deep breath in the shade, or an evening with friends. Stepping-stone paths wind through lush tropical plantings, and through a private gate you'll find a separate garden with raised beds and drip irrigation, ready for vegetables, herbs and flowers. Out front, agave, cactus and succulents are set in decorative rock with landscape lighting. The look is striking day or night, and it's drought-tolerant and easy on the water bill. This is a yard built with love, and it shows.A long covered carport and extra-wide driveway leave room for multiple cars and a golf cart, and the oversized lot offers room to add a pool (buyer to verify with the City of Fort Myers). Fiber internet is already installed. The home sits in Flood Zone X, where flood insurance is not required by lenders.Then there's the location. Palm Lee Park sits in the heart of Fort Myers, just off the McGregor Corridor, the city's most beautiful drive, lined with royal palms and historic homes. You're minutes from the Caloosahatchee River for sunset walks, McGregor Cafe for a leisurely breakfast, the Fort Myers Country Club golf course, and the newly reopened Edison Tavern for dinner and drinks after its two-year renovation.Homes with this much character are rarely this updated.
