Fort Myers, FL 33908 15206 Parkside Drive # 201

Discover a DIAMOND in the rough – all you need to do is give it a polish! Excellent opportunity to put your ‘stamp’ on this condo - make it your year-round home, seasonal get-away or polish it up and use it as an investment property as the current owner has done for many years. The Parkside community is truly a HIDDEN GEM, tucked away yet situated in a prime location walkable to beautiful Lakes Park, Lowes, Wal-Mart and a short drive to restaurants, shopping, the airport and SW Florida white, sandy beaches. Located in the heart of it all, yet removed just enough to have lush green, mature vegetation, loads of green space, a waterway for canoeing and kayaking. The natural grounds are for your use only as well as the small number of residents who call Parkside home. Take advantage of the community pool/spa, tennis/Pickleball, BBQ/ picnic areas as well. The condo is on the 2nd floor. No worries about the summer rain, the stairs are located within the condo. No worries about anyone living above you either. At the top of the stairs, you are greeted by a vaulted ceiling and 2 new skylights giving the 909 sq ft a much larger and light feeling. The ceilings have been scraped of all ‘popcorn’ texture and are freshly painted crisp white. The kitchen is tiled and has a window at one end letting in lots of natural light and is open to the great room on the other end. You can stand at the kitchen sink, glance across the room, through the sliding glass doors to the peaceful and private wooded area. The sliders lead to a screened lanai perfect for relaxing and watching nature in action. For convenience, a washer/dryer hook-up is located in the kitchen but hidden within a closet. Just off the great room, at the back of the condo, is a generous primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and in-suite bathroom featuring a tiled floor, walk-in shower, vanity and new commode. For privacy from the primary suite, the guest bedroom is located at the front of the condo with a generous closet and window allowing in southern light. Just steps away from the guest bedroom is the guest bathroom with a tiled floor, pedestal sink, new commode. For convenience, a linen closet is located just outside the bathroom. The unit comes with an outside storage area and 1 assigned parking space just steps away from the front door. There is plenty of guest parking when you have family and friends visiting you. Bonus points for a new roof and new sky-lights. The a/c was replaced approx. 5 years ago and recently serviced. The water heater is also only approx. 5 years old. All walls have been freshly painted with a Sherwin Williams light gray. Several new interior doors, lighting fixtures, ceiling fans and 2” blinds have also been installed. This diamond in the rough is not only affordable to purchase but easy on the wallet for upkeep due to the low HOA fees.
