House in Fort Myers, FL 33901

Riverside, 1321 Hanton Ave

This exquisite residence is a rare jewel along the coveted historic McGregor corridor—an architectural statement of elegance, sophistication, and timeless Florida living. Built in 2009 as a custom retreat, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to balance refined interiors with a lush outdoor sanctuary. Step into a private paradise where secret gardens and meandering pathways are framed in handcrafted Beldon brick pavers, seamlessly guiding you toward the resort-style pool and spa. Here, the art of outdoor living comes alive: a fully equipped summer kitchen, an expansive covered lounge, and a warm, wood-burning fireplace create the ultimate setting for entertaining under starlit skies. Enclosed within a beautifully landscaped, fenced yard, the verdant greenscape offers both serenity and seclusion. Inside, grandeur unfolds beneath soaring two-story ceilings, where an open living room centers around a dramatic fireplace and gleaming African hardwood "Wenge" floors. The chef’s kitchen is an entertainer’s dream—anchored by an oversized island, custom cabinetry, and sleek Gaggenau steel appliances—designed for gatherings that flow effortlessly between elegance and ease. Distinctive spaces add to the home’s allure: a richly appointed office, plus an additional flexible space ideal as a second office, music studio, or creative retreat, each with custom built-ins. Upstairs, a second-story living area extends the home’s versatility and charm. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, with walls of glass inviting tranquil views of the pool and gardens. A dual-sided fireplace brings warmth and intimacy to both bedroom and spa-inspired bath, where bespoke Wenge cabinetry, Italian sinks, and a luxurious walk-in shower set the stage for indulgence. Every element of the home speaks to craftsmanship and comfort: PGT hurricane impact glass throughout for peace of mind, tongue-and-groove cypress ceilings adding architectural character, and a structured audio system to enrich everyday living. Rarely does a residence so perfectly blend refined design with a tropical oasis lifestyle. This is more than a home—it is an experience, an escape, and an extraordinary offering along one of Southwest Florida’s most storied avenues.
