FORGET THE AGE OF THIS LOVELY TOP QUALITY BUILT HOME - it’s been meticulously cared for. Located on a quiet cul de sac street of lovely homes in deed restricted Punta Gorda Isles, you realize you have found Paradise! Entering the great room, your eyes are immediately drawn to the beautiful SALTWATER CANAL beyond. The backyard’s large mango tree provides wonderful shade (delicious fruit, too) and is the perfect place to enjoy Paradise. This home was built by highly respected MICHIGAN HOMES, which are known to hold their value. Inside, the home is designed for easy entertaining with a large great room and dining area overlooking the canal. A chef’s kitchen boasts a new refrigerator (8 months) and with more than ample counterspace and storage, your kitchen tasks will be so easy. The nook overlooking the canal offers a delightful spot for any mealtime. An ENORMOUS SCREENED LANAI is the crowning glory of this delightful residence with more than enough room for a full dining table, chairs, outdoor furniture, grill and more. The SERENE ENSUITE MASTER BEDROOM overlooks the canal. A pleasant guest room is well separated from the master suite. All of this on a nicely landscaped lot with a concrete walk way to the concrete dock. There are 78+ FEET OF CONCRETE SEAWALL, MAINTAINED BY THE CITY OF PUNTA GORDA, AS WELL AS A CONCRETE DOCK WITH WATER AND ELETRIC CONNECTED - there is a boat lift but it is not warranted. And according to the owner, there is room for a pool in the large backyard. And one more goodie - if you want a hot tub, the wiring is already in. Better yet, 10 MINUTES GETS YOU TO CHARLOTTE HARBOR AND THEN ON TO THE GULF OF MEXICO with its beautiful glistening beaches. Punta Gorda, a delightful town, has all of the culinary choices a foodie could want, darling BOUTIQUES, and MILES AND MILES OF WALKING AND BIKING PATHS ALONG THE HARBOR'S EDGE. With THREE HOSPITALS and the attendant medical facilities, your health is always top priority. Never short on things to do, there is the CHARLOTTE SYMPHONY CHARLOTTE CHORALE, CHARLOTTE PLAYERS, THE DINNER TRAIN, PICKLEBALL courts (this was the home of the 2019 WORLD PICKLEBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS), the Wine Festival. Don’t want to leave home - then FISH FROM YOUR DOCK for delicious fin fish. You might be lucky and catch a juvenile tarpon or see a manatee or an EAGLE perched on the seawall looking for dinner. This is the perfect spot to LAUNCH YOUR KAYAK AND PADDLE SAFELY WITHIN THE 52 MILES OF PGI'S CONCRETE WALLED CANAL SYSTEM. Feel free to GARDEN ALL YEAR ROUND. Into the arts? There are several EXCELLENT JURIED ART SHOWS that bring INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN ARTISTS to show off their talents. There are several excellent art stores offering a vast array of beautiful objects. If you must leave, FROM HERE YOU CAN FLY ANYWHERE – the Punta Gorda Airport hosts Allegiant Airlines, which flies nationally. Fort Myers and Sarasota are about a short 30-minute drive and Tampa International flies all over the globe. And now with NEW PRICING, once you are here, you’ll understand why we call this Paradise. OH, AND BY THE WAY, WE DON'T HAVE SNOW!! Come and join us - Like us, you may never want to leave.
