One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Enjoy privacy on this huge waterfront lot, and experience the best of fishing and boating from this Punta Gorda gem! Boasting over 200 ft of concrete seawall along the serene shores of Shell Creek, this property offers direct access to the open waters of the Peace River, Charlotte Harbor, Myakka River, Boca Grande, and the Gulf of Mexico – with NO BRIDGES obstructing your journey. Set on a generous .88-acre waterfront lot, this classic mid-century home has been tastefully updated. Step inside to discover an open, split-floor plan that seamlessly combines comfort and style. The expansive Living/Great Room features large windows that frame views of the waterfront. The Primary Bedroom, with its French doors leading to a wrap-around screened lanai, offers picturesque views of the tranquil setting, and the updated Ensuite Bath is a highlight, featuring a gorgeous claw-foot bathtub, pedestal sink and a spacious tiled shower with bench. The second and third bedrooms are both generously sized and include cedar walk-in closets and elegant wood plank ceilings. They share an updated bathroom with a tiled shower and a cedar linen closet. Beautiful archways frame the large L-shaped Kitchen and Dining area that is perfect for versatile dining and entertaining. The kitchen has been totally redesigned and updated with new cabinets, countertops, tile backsplash, and stainless appliances, and it provides access to both the rear screened lanai and front porch, meaning seamless entertaining opportunities. Additional features include TILE FLOORING THROUGHOUT, new HURRICANE IMPACT WINDOWS, an updated breaker panel, and new AIR CONDITIONER and METAL ROOF installed in 2017. With three tankless water heaters (two installed and a third as backup), you will never run out of hot water. The attached two-car garage includes an adjoining shed, ideal for a workshop or outdoor equipment, and the spacious property includes ample room for parking recreational vehicles or watercraft. The fully fenced yard, complete with irrigation via city water, enhances the mature landscaping and creates a park-like atmosphere. Conveniently located near downtown Punta Gorda, shopping, dining, medical facilities, I-75, and nearby airports, this home offers both charm and practicality.
