Property Description

Turn-key furnished and beautifully upgraded, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers 1,494 square feet of comfortable living space and peaceful freshwater canal views in the desirable Gardens of Gulf Cove. Built in 1988 and thoughtfully updated throughout, the home sits on a generous 10,001 sq ft lot with a fenced backyard and no rear neighbors, creating a private and serene setting. A long list of recent improvements ensures lasting value and peace of mind. A new shingle roof was installed in 2023, a fully enclosed Florida room addition was completed in 2020, and hurricane-impact windows were installed throughout the home in 2019. That same year, the home also received multiple new exterior doors, a new garage door, and a fully upgraded HVAC system featuring ductless mini-split air conditioning throughout the entire home—providing efficient, zoned climate control without traditional ductwork. The water heater was replaced in 2022. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and offers vaulted ceilings, laminate and ceramic tile flooring, and an open-concept layout perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The updated kitchen includes granite countertops, soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a decorative tile backsplash. At the rear of the home, the expansive Florida room adds nearly 400 square feet of bonus living space and is cooled for year-round enjoyment—complete with bar seating, a painted floor, and relaxing views of the backyard and canal. All bedrooms are located along a central hallway. The spacious primary suite includes an en-suite bath and ample closet space, while two additional bedrooms and a second full bath offers flexible options for guests, office space, or hobbies. The oversized two-car garage features a dedicated laundry area and additional storage. City water is connected. Located in the deed-restricted community of Gardens of Gulf Cove, residents enjoy access to two amenity centers offering swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard, a fitness center, billiards, a library, and more—all for just $470/year. The neighborhood also features sidewalks, scenic lakes, and a welcoming atmosphere just minutes from Englewood Beach, Boca Grande, and all the conveniences of Port Charlotte. Whether you’re looking for a full-time Florida home or a seasonal getaway, this move-in-ready, furnished property delivers comfort, thoughtful upgrades, and a relaxed waterfront lifestyle.
