Property Description

Located in the desirable Dean Park Historic District, this classic Craftsman bungalow blends historic character with versatile living spaces. Built in 1921 by John Morgan Dean’s United Construction Company, the home was once owned by Charles Plummer “C.P.” Staley and his wife, Alice Haley. Mr. Staley served as Fort Myers City Manager until 1928. Expansive front and rear porches provide welcoming spaces for morning coffee, visiting with neighbors, or unwinding at the end of the day. The main house offers two bedrooms, a bonus room, and one-and-a-half baths, complemented by a separate two-bedroom guest house—ideal for multigenerational living, visiting family and friends, or potential studio or rental use, subject to applicable city requirements. Distinctive starburst front doors open to a light-filled interior featuring hardwood floors, a living room fireplace, and a spacious dining room. A paneled half bath sits off the kitchen, where French doors lead to the generous rear porch. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms and a smaller bonus room suitable for an office or additional guest space. The washer and dryer are located in the bonus room. The furnished guest house offers its own living area, kitchen, full bath, and two bedrooms. Rear parking is accessible through the alley, while the large yard provides plenty of green space for gardening and outdoor enjoyment. Air-conditioning systems in both residences were replaced in 2022. Both homes also feature tankless water heaters, with the main house unit updated in 2026. Situated in downtown Fort Myers, Dean Park offers convenient access to the River District’s shopping, dining, Saturday farmers market, and community events. During season, catch the trolley on First Street to enjoy downtown without the worry of parking. Homes in Dean Park with separate guest cottages are especially desirable. Schedule your private showing today and discover the possibilities this historic property and its charming neighborhood have to offer.
