Description

Located in the gated community of Emerson Square in Fort Myers, this beautifully maintained lakefront home offers 3 bedrooms plus a dedicated office, 2 bathrooms, and over 2, 150 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the open-concept floor plan, abundant natural light, and tranquil lake views that create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home. The recently updated kitchen features brand-new cabinetry that has never been used, providing a fresh and modern space for preparing meals, entertaining guests, or gathering with family. A dedicated office offers the flexibility to work from home, pursue hobbies, or create additional space for visiting guests. Designed to embrace the Southwest Florida lifestyle, the outdoor living area is truly a standout feature. The expansive screened lanai overlooks a sparkling 9, 600-gallon saltwater pool, added in 2017, and showcases picturesque lake views framed by lush tropical landscaping. A paver pool deck and impressive 36-foot picture window screen enclosure maximize the scenery, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee, sunset swims, or entertaining friends and family year-round. Additional highlights include a tile roof, hurricane shutters installed in 2021, a paver driveway, and an oversized deep garage measuring approximately 22'4" x 25'5", providing ample room for larger vehicles, storage, recreational equipment, or a workshop area. The property has no history of flooding, offering additional peace of mind. Emerson Square is a centrally located gated community known for its convenient access to US-41 and I-75. Residents enjoy being just minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport, Gulf Coast Town Center, Miromar Outlets, Florida Gulf Coast University, and an abundance of shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations. Southwest Florida's beautiful Gulf beaches are approximately 20 to 25 minutes away.

Active Carriers in This Market

Citizens Property Insurance

Florida's insurer of last resort. Available if private market declines. Strict eligibility rules post-2023 reforms.

Universal Property & Casualty

One of the largest private carriers still writing in SWFL. Rates have increased significantly since Ian.

Florida Peninsula Insurance

Active in Collier and Lee County. Competitive for newer construction homes.

Security First Financial

Writing policies in SWFL. Strong for homes with impact windows and newer roofs.

Chubb / AIG (Luxury tier)

For homes above $1M. Offers agreed-value policies and broader coverage. Rates are higher but coverage is more comprehensive.

🏠

Impact Windows = Lower PremiumVerified impact-rated windows and doors can reduce wind premium by 15–30%. Always request the wind mitigation credit report from seller.

📋

Roof Age is CriticalMost SWFL carriers will not write policies on roofs over 15 years old. A roof over 10 years old triggers higher premiums. Request permit history before making an offer.

📐

Elevation Certificate Saves MoneyFor flood insurance, an elevation certificate showing the home is above Base Flood Elevation can cut NFIP premiums by 50% or more.

⚡

Get Quotes Before ClosingIn SWFL's current market, insurance quotes must be in hand before removing financing contingencies. Some homes in high-risk zones cannot be insured at any reasonable price.

Compare Insurance Rates → Insurance Guide

Insurance estimates are ranges based on current SWFL market conditions, ZIP code risk profiles, property type, and price tier. Actual premiums depend on specific carrier, coverage selections, roof age, construction type, wind mitigation credits, elevation certificate, and claims history. These are estimates only — not quotes. Always obtain binding quotes from licensed Florida insurance agents before closing. The SWFL insurance market has been volatile since Hurricane Ian (2022) and rates continue to change. Estimates reflect approximate 2024-2025 market conditions.

This is an estimate only — not a tax bill. Verify current millage rates and exemption eligibility with the Collier County PAO and a qualified tax advisor.

Equity Growth vs Total Cost Paid — Naples Historical Avg (~5%/yr)

True cost of ownership calculations are estimates based on inputs provided and SWFL market averages. Mortgage P&I uses standard amortization. Property tax uses the effective rate at purchase price. Insurance uses ZIP-based estimates. Maintenance reserve is set at 1% of purchase price annually — a conservative industry standard. HOA fees are pre-filled from MLS data where available. Appreciation scenarios are illustrative — Naples has averaged approximately 5% annual appreciation over the past 10 years but past performance does not guarantee future results.

What to Ask Before You Buy

✅

Impact Windows & Doors

Verify all openings are impact-rated. Retrofitting after purchase costs $30,000–$80,000+ on a large home. Ask seller for permits.

📋

Roof Age & Material

Insurance carriers in SWFL require roofs under 15 years old. Metal or concrete tile preferred. Request roof permit and last inspection report.

🔌

Generator & Transfer Switch

Whole-home generator is standard at the luxury tier. Verify fuel type (natural gas preferred), capacity, and last service date.

🏘

Evacuation Zone

Collier County uses zones A–E. Zone A is highest risk and evacuates first. Check Collier County EM for this address.

Check Evacuation Zone → Hurricane Guide

Risk scoring is based on NOAA HURDAT2 historical storm track data (1851–2024) and Collier/Lee County proximity analysis. This is a historical risk assessment, not a forecast. All construction in Florida must meet the Florida Building Code hurricane standards enacted after 2002. Verify current insurance availability and windstorm coverage requirements with a licensed Florida insurance agent before purchase.
