Property Description

Welcome to the kind of home that creates the perfect backdrop for an active Florida lifestyle. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom waterfront retreat in Punta Gorda Isles offers privacy, minimal traffic, in the most peaceful of settings. An inviting front courtyard creates the perfect refuge for morning coffee — quiet, calm, and veiled by vibrantly colored landscape. This is how to start your day off right. At night, the lights turn on and the home looks plucked straight out of a fairy tale. Now, out back is where the real magic happens. Step outside and it’s toes in the water, a fishing rod off your private, 45' concrete dock, and plans forming for an evening cruise straight into downtown Punta Gorda. The 15k lbs boat lift, just fitted with new motors, can easily accommodate the size of your vessel. Located on intersecting canals, with unobstructed views, you have quick access to Charlotte Harbor and just a short idle to some of Southwest Florida’s most fertile waters — redfish, snook, and tarpon territory. The angler in the family will never be short on fish stories to share. 95' of concrete seawall, maintained by the City, adds peace of mind. Dinner out? Cruise in. Sunset cocktail? Peaceful float home. Punta Gorda is a charming, historical town with many great dining, shopping and cultural options. If not by boat, then park and explore by foot. The home faces west, delivering front-row seats to Southwest Florida sunsets. Swim, relax, and watch the sky put on a different show every evening.With a new pump, motor and heater, swim comfortably year round. Nothing like sharing a selfie from the pool in January to encourage your closest Northern neighbors to become your closest SW FL neighbors. From the extended lanai — offering both covered shade and amazing views — you may even catch a dolphin stopping by to say hello. Turn on the game and watch it from a float, drifting in the pool. Inside, the home offers an easy, comfortable layout designed for functionality and comfortability. Whether you are here year around, or offset the expenses with short term rental use, this home fits the occasion. For ease, furniture is negotiable. The kitchen keeps you connected, cooking, sipping wine and carrying on with your guests as they gather in the comforts of the family room around the dining room table, or outside on the lanai. For quieter evenings, meal prep and watch the your neighbors drift by on their boats. The view is incredible. Multiple living/dining spaces provides flexibility for entertaining, relaxing or simply the opportunity for alone time. With the guest bedrooms split away from the primary, there is built privacy. With impact windows and new tiled roof in 2023, you will feel secure here. Not all homes are created equally and this one breaks the mold. It's kayaks and fishing poles. Morning coffee in your courtyard. Year round, sunset swims. A last minute cruise downtown to meet friends for dinner at Fisherman's Village or the PGI Yacht Club. We look forward to welcoming you home!
