OVERSIZED LANAI WITH BRAND NEW ‘MEGA VIEW' CAGE, BRAND NEW KITCHEN, BRAND NEW ROOF, FAST BOATNG ACCESS FROM DOCK WITH LIFT! Welcome to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2-car garage residence in the highly sought-after Punta Gorda Isles community. Upon entry through the foyer, you'll be greeted by newly installed 'hardwood look' ceramic plank tiles that flow seamlessly into the expansive vaulted great room, incorporating the dining area and kitchen. The newly designed open kitchen has undergone a complete transformation, boasting beautiful white wood soft-close cabinets, Cambria quartz countertops, upgraded stainless steel appliances, a convenient dry/coffee bar with beverage cooler, built-in desk, and a breakfast bar. A pocketed sliding door in the kitchen leads to the private guest wing, where you'll discover two spacious bedrooms, a linen closet, and an updated bathroom. Step outside through a convenient exterior door in the guest bathroom to the expansive west-facing lanai, where captivating sunset skies await. The lanai hosts a generously sized 13x28 heated pool and spa. Unique to this property, the pavers extend an extra 10 feet beyond the pool to a portrait screen that frames picturesque waterfront views. Stroll along the paver walkway to the extended concrete dock featuring a 10,000-pound boat lift, electricity/water access, and a concrete seawall maintained by the City of Punta Gorda. With less than a ten-minute power boat ride, you'll be on open water headed to waterfront restaurants, fishing, and beaches. Enjoy every season beneath the 11-ft X 31-ft covered portion of the lanai, shielded by electric Kevlar storm screens that not only safeguard your home and outdoor furnishings but also provide shade from the afternoon sun, privacy from neighbors, or a cozy haven during brisk mornings and evenings. Entertaining is effortless with the pass-through counter from the covered lanai to the kitchen, which offers plenty of space for both dining and socializing. Triple disappearing sliders seamlessly expand the entertaining area between the outside and inside of this beautiful home. Additional pocketing sliders lead into the owner's suite, complete with a private bathroom featuring double vanities, linen cabinet, shower stall, and a walk-in closet. A fully equipped laundry room with multiple closets and a sink is conveniently positioned off the two-car garage and kitchen. With its thoughtful design and high ceilings, this home feels so much larger than the 1,774 interior square feet it possesses. Take note of the brand-new upgraded roof, hurricane impact windows, and low-maintenance tropical landscaping before you depart. Additional recent updates include the propane spa heater and AC unit. Punta Gorda Isles is home to St. Andrews South Golf Course, The Isles Yacht Club, and the PGI Civic Association, offering an array of social, hobby, and service-oriented clubs. Easy access to US-41 and I-75 ensures swift travel to multiple beaches and three regional airports. The Punta Gorda airport, with over 50 direct flight destinations, is less than 5 miles away. Embrace the waterfront charm and historic allure of our quaint community, complete with parks, waterfront dining, the Harbor Walk, extensive bike and nature trails, diverse music events, art and cultural festivals, and vibrant farmers markets. The time is right to claim this residence as your own and embark on the Florida lifestyle you deserve!
