Virtually Staged. A BOATER'S PARADISE, SAILBOAT ACCESS, A SPECTACULAR CANAL VIEW, AND A CUSTOM-BUILT WATERFRONT HOME IN PUNTA GORDA ISLES. Located in the deed-restricted Bird Section, this 2,763-square-foot, 3 BED + Den, 3 CAR GARAGE residence combines gracious living spaces with a distinctive waterfront setting. A charming coastal color palette creates a relaxed, welcoming feel throughout. At the back of the home, the great room looks out across the canal, while the screened lanai and recently upgraded saltwater pool create an inviting setting for relaxing or entertaining. The pool features refinished gunite, programmable lighting, and new pavers; an outdoor shower, half bath, and storage closet complete the lanai. The home is along the Christmas Boat Parade route, with views of the decorated boats from the family room and lanai. The spacious kitchen features warm wood cabinetry, rich granite countertops, and a coordinating tile backsplash. Stainless steel appliances include a gas range beneath a statement vent hood and a built-in double oven. Glass-front display cabinetry, abundant storage, generous work surfaces, and a central island with seating make the kitchen both functional and inviting. The floor plan also offers a living room open to the dining area, a breakfast nook, and a den. A double-sided fireplace is visible from both the living room and primary bedroom. The primary suite features double doors to the lanai, two walk-in closets, and an ensuite bath with dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and a jetted tub. The split-bedroom layout includes two guest bedrooms, each with extended storage above the closet. Twelve-foot ceilings and PLANTATION SHUTTERS add to the home’s character, while BAHAMA shutters accent the north- and south-facing windows. The extended dock with SLIDE-MOOR system, water, and electric makes boating access convenient. From Alligator Creek, a scenic boat ride through the harbor leads to Boca Grande Pass and out to the Gulf. Additional highlights include a 2023 METAL ROOF, 250-gallon UNDERGROUND PROPANE TANK, three-car garage with storage, whole-house water filtration, and whole-home storm protection, including remotely operated electric shutters at the rear. Downtown Punta Gorda, Fishermen’s Village, Sunseeker Resort, restaurants, and entertainment are nearby.
