Standing since 1925, this home is a fortress! No damage sustained from Hurricane Ian, other than landscaping and a couple screens. Despite the proximity to the river, and a city owned canal just across the back yard, there was also NO flooding. Now is your chance to own a piece of Fort Myers history that has withstood the test of time and a Cat 5 Hurricane.
