Wide open water and sailboat access to Charlotte Harbor. This Bird Section waterfront home sits on a turn basin, delivering the long, unobstructed views that are increasingly hard to find in Punta Gorda Isles. No bridges, roughly twenty minutes to the Harbor and the Gulf beyond. City-maintained seawall. Built by Fero Builders, a custom builder known for timeless design and bones worth keeping, which is exactly what happened here. Over six years this home has been methodically rebuilt to a standard most newer construction does not reach. Step through impact-rated front doors into an open great room where a 2025 renovation removed the original archway and dividing wall, opening the dining room, great room, and kitchen into one bright, connected space. Coffered ceilings rise ten to twelve feet with indirect lighting, and crown molding carries through every room, bedrooms and baths included. A custom entertainment wall anchors the great room, built for an 85-inch television, with symmetrical shelving, electric fireplace, and dimmable LED lighting. The kitchen carries quartz throughout, with slow-close dovetail cabinetry, tiled backsplash, built-in oven and cooktop, and a counter-level quartz bar added in 2025. Along the wall joining the kitchen and dining area, a custom wine bar with quartz counter and wine refrigerator makes entertaining effortless. The guest bath was rebuilt with a glass wall, new tile surround, and a waterfall feature, and it anchors a guest wing that closes off behind sliding doors: private quarters for visiting family. On the opposite side of the home, a separate pool bath opens directly to the pool deck and again to the interior beside a small office, so wet feet never cross the living space. Twenty-inch porcelain tile runs throughout, no thresholds, no transitions, one continuous surface from the front door to the lanai. Outside is where the house earns its keep. A 44-foot picture-window screen enclosure frames the basin without interruption. The saltwater pool and spa are finished in Pebble Tec with glass tile accents, color-changing LEDs, waterfall and fountains, all run through an automated Omni Logic system controlled from your phone. Grey and tan travertine spans the pool deck, resealed April 2026. An outdoor shower handles the trip back from the boat. A 45-foot concrete dock with water, electric, and a 10,000 lb lift sits on the seawall. Southeast exposure keeps the lanai shaded through the afternoon. What you do not see is what makes this home rare. Air conditioning replaced August 2026 with a transferable ten-year warranty, ion purification, and UV light treatment. Roof replaced 2023. Hurricane-impact front doors and flanking windows, both sets of French doors, and the twelve-foot great room sliders, all installed 2021 and 2022. Every remaining opening is protected by hurricane panels that mount from the ground, no ladder required. Manabloc plumbing. Air-conditioned two-and-a-half-car garage with room for the golf cart. Elevation of 10.1 feet with transferable flood insurance. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a certified appraisal that assigns this home an effective year built of 2022. On paper it reads 1998. In person it reads new and minutes to Fishermen's Village, St. Andrews South Golf Club, and historic downtown.
