Southern exposure and sweeping canal views define this 3-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront home in Punta Gorda Isles. From the moment you step inside, your eyes are drawn straight through to the pool and the open water beyond. With a 60-foot concrete dock and an existing boat lift structure already in place, this property is well-positioned for boating enthusiasts. Just one fixed bridge and approximately 15 minutes stand between you and Charlotte Harbor, making spontaneous sunset cruises or fishing trips an easy part of everyday life. A split floor plan offers privacy while keeping the main living areas connected to the view. Sliding glass doors frame the water and open onto the spacious paver-brick lanai, filling the home with light and that unmistakable coastal feel. The galley kitchen features Silestone counters, a breakfast bar, and a bright breakfast nook overlooking the canal. Sliders lead directly to the lanai, and the convenient pass-through window makes outdoor dining and poolside gatherings effortless. Positioned to enjoy the water as well, the primary suite includes its own sliders to the lanai, new carpet, a generous walk-in closet, and an en suite bath with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located on the opposite side of the home, offering comfort and flexibility for guests or a home office. Here, the lanai and pool area truly take center stage, with a recently resurfaced pool surrounded by paver-brick decking and wide canal views, all enhanced by sunny southern exposure. It is the kind of setting that invites slow mornings, relaxed afternoons, and evenings that stretch just a little longer. Pull-across hurricane shutters provide added protection and peace of mind. Additional highlights include a large laundry room with a utility sink, a built-in desk, and abundant cabinetry for storage. The oversized two-car garage offers room for tools, toys, and boating gear and features a convenient pull-across screen that lets you enjoy the breeze while the garage door is open. A 2017 roof and hurricane shutters add further confidence, and the home did not flood. Located in Punta Gorda Isles, residents enjoy miles of scenic canals, a vibrant boating lifestyle, golf, parks, and bike paths, along with close proximity to historic downtown Punta Gorda's waterfront dining, shopping, and waterfront parks. Convenient access to US 41 and I-75 makes travel to nearby cities and Southwest Florida's beautiful Gulf beaches easy.
