House in Fort Myers, FL 33905

Portico, 3432 Murcia Ct

Looking for a large home to keep your family safe from hurricanes??? You've found it! This 5 Bed / 5 Bath / 3 Car Garage home rode through two major hurricanes in the past two years with no damage. So forget about storms, lounge by the POOL and enjoy the LONG LAKE VIEW in Portico, a gated community in the Buckingham suburb of Fort Myers. Built in 2021 by Lennar, this "Sorrento" layout has the most square footage available and is ideally situated in the center of the neighborhood where the streets and landscaping are well established. Sprawling kitchen with upgraded white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The kitchen cabinets were extended through the dining nook which features a 44-bottle wine cooler. 12x24 wood-look tile throughout the main floor including the downstairs guest bedroom and full bath (which is ideal for a mother-in-law suite). Oversize extended lanai with custom pavers, pool heater, lanai lights and kevlar screens. These are just a few of the over $42,000 in upgrades. The kevlar screens are hurricane-rated and motorized roll-down storm shades which are fabulous for use year-round for privacy and shade (you can see out but others can't see in). The upstairs--with an additional 4 Bedrooms plus a Loft--is thoroughly equipped with upgraded storm protection including 4 additional roll down shutters, 3 accordion shutters and 2 impact rated windows. For added peace of mind, this home is located OUT of special hazard areas (x zone) which means flood insurance is not required. Many additional improvements to appreciate including the two garages with insulated doors and epoxy floors, whole-house water softener and gutters, ADT security system, enhanced landscaping, telescoping flag pole and designer light fixtures and fans throughout. Are you ready for a new pool home this summer that's move-in ready and storm safe? If so, you've found it! Schedule your private tour today!
