Rookery Pointe, 9960 Rookery Cir

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Rookery Pointe, a natural gas community, you will find this two-story residence that offers a balance of comfort, functionality and everyday livability, set against the tranquil backdrop of a scenic waterway. Encompassing 3,693 square feet, the home features five bedrooms, four full baths and a three-car garage with overhead storage, creating the space and flexibility to accommodate a variety of lifestyles. The home is thoughtfully designed with an open and functional first-floor layout that flows seamlessly from the kitchen into multiple living spaces, including a family room and formal living area, offering distinct yet connected environments for gathering, entertaining or simply enjoying day-to-day life. A first-floor bedroom with an adjacent full bath provides a comfortable and private space for guests. Character and craftsmanship are reflected in details such as the custom-built bookshelves in the formal living room, uniquely created from reclaimed materials sourced from the original Robb & Stucky building in Fort Myers, an element that adds warmth and a sense of story to the home. Upstairs, wood flooring extends throughout the main living areas, where a spacious bonus room offers versatility as a media room, recreation space or secondary living area. The primary suite is positioned for privacy and features a spa-like bath with a soaking tub and separate shower, along with a private balcony overlooking the pool, an ideal retreat for quiet mornings or evenings. Additional bedrooms are enhanced with built-in or customized closet systems, and a pull-down attic provides added storage convenience. Outdoor living is a central part of the home’s appeal. The saltwater pool and integrated spa were fully renovated in 2016 with updated finishes and tile, complemented by a mobile-controlled iAqualink system. The pool heater (2018) and pump (2021) have been updated, and the screen enclosure was refreshed in 2024. Beyond the lanai, the property opens to a peaceful riverfront setting, offering a rare and natural view that brings a sense of calm and privacy to the outdoor experience. The home has been carefully maintained with meaningful updates, including a roof and gutters replaced in 2023, a home filtration system installed in 2018 and a water heater replaced in 2017. Two air-conditioning systems service the home, with the second-floor unit replaced in 2018, along with a hardwired security system and manual hurricane shutters for added peace of mind. The kitchen has seen recent appliance updates, including a refrigerator (2026), microwave (2025) and dishwasher (2024), while the laundry area includes a washer and gas dryer (2025) that convey with the home. With its combination of thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces and a uniquely serene waterfront backdrop, this property presents a compelling opportunity to enjoy a well-rounded lifestyle in one of Estero’s established and convenient locations.
