One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged, AI generated or rendered. Imperial Shores has long been one of Bonita Springs' quietest waterfront secrets, and this canal front home on Tarpon Avenue is a fine example of why. Set on an oversized lot with southern exposure, the property offers direct gulf access just 1500 feet by boat to the Imperial River, with 97 feet of waterfront, a private dock, and a paved boat ramp. The home has been fully renovated, with over 3400 square feet of living space across 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths. A grand foyer with double glass entry doors opens into a main living area built around a gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops, a Wolf 8 burner gas range, a Sub Zero refrigerator, and an oversized island with breakfast bar seating. The great room spans 27 by 27 feet with tile floors throughout, and large sliding glass doors lead to a 45 foot screened lanai with 9 foot ceilings. Upstairs, the owner's suite includes a private balcony, a walk in closet, and a spa style bathroom with dual sinks, a glass walled shower, and a soaking tub. Two more bedrooms also offer walk in closets and private balconies, and a bonus loft adds flexibility as a gym, a media room, or a guest suite. There is room to add a pool, mature palms shading the grounds, and a separate air conditioned structure that functions as a private office suite with its own entrance and half bath, well suited for remote work or a creative studio. A dedicated laundry room, two oversized one car garages, and a 34 foot climate controlled storage room round out the property. There is no HOA. This is boating country without the gate, the fee, or the wait. For anyone who wants direct gulf access and a home brought up to today's standard in a neighborhood that has held its character for decades, 4837 Tarpon Avenue is worth a closer look.
