Welcome to an incredible opportunity to own a charming & updated 3-bed, 2-bath single-family home with a private in-ground pool - a rare find at this price. The exterior features nostalgic curb appeal with fresh flower beds, vinyl siding, and added front gutters for improved drainage. Hurricane-rated upgrades include a glass front door (2023), a sliding glass door (2024), and classic Bahama storm shutters. Inside, the living room offers a clean, updated look with luxury vinyl flooring, a stylish accent wall, and ceiling fan. The modern kitchen/dining area includes granite countertops, white cabinetry, black Whirlpool appliances (2021), a glass mosaic backsplash, and an updated faucet. Step through the kitchen slider to the oversized screened lanai - perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Double ceiling fans keep things cool, and there's space for a huge TV, making it the BEST place for Superbowl Sunday. Outside, enjoy the private, fenced backyard oasis with a resurfaced vinyl pool liner (2022), a pump replaced in 2023, mature Areca palms, and ambient lighting. The front carport has screens on one side and was mid-renovation to close off into a screened porch, but remains open for parking. Or, use the portable 1-car carport shade and repurpose the existing carport as a bonus living space. Inside, the smart split-bedroom layout includes a spacious primary suite with ceiling fan, open closet with built-in shelving, and cozy faux brick accent wall. Both guest rooms are similarly sized and share a hall bath and storage closet. There are two bathrooms-one off the primary/kitchen area with a faux wood tile accent wall, black granite vanity, and tub/shower insert. The hall bath features a tile floor, granite vanity, and shower/tub combo. Additional highlights include a large laundry/storage area off the carport with newer washer/dryer (2023/24), a large storage shed, and peaceful green views as the property backs to undeveloped greenspace. NO FLOODING from recent storms. Major updates include HVAC (2020), water heater (2019), and septic emptied in June 2025. Enjoy a country-style feel with close access to downtown Punta Gorda, offering waterfront dining, boutique shopping, art galleries, farmer's markets, and events like Wine Walks and Food Truck Fridays. Conveniently located near Charlotte Harbor for fishing and boating, with parks, trails, and golf nearby. Just minutes from US-41, I-75, and Punta Gorda Airport (20 mins), with easy access to Port Charlotte, Fort Myers, and Sarasota. This move-in ready home is perfect for first-time buyers, snowbirds, or anyone seeking affordable Florida living with a private pool and key updates already in place. Enjoy the best of Southwest Florida without the hustle of city life.
