Coastal cottage charm meets real peace of mind in this move-in-ready 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in the heart of Port Charlotte. A stone-accented facade, fresh landscaping, and an extra-wide driveway make a great first impression before you ever step inside. Inside, bright white walls, airy sheer drapes, and wood-look laminate flooring set a relaxed, beachy tone throughout. The living room is anchored by a striking hand-carved wood front door and ceiling fan. The dining space just off the kitchen opens through sliding glass doors to the lanai. The kitchen is bright and ready to cook, with white shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a side-by-side refrigerator, range, built-in microwave, and dishwasher, plus stone-look laminate countertops, recessed lighting, and a window over the double sink for natural light. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet with wraparound shelving and a private en-suite bath is finished in classic white subway tile with a tub/shower combo and built-in niche. The guest bath features a shower with glass sliding doors. Two additional bedrooms with ceiling fans flex easily as guest rooms, a home office, or hobby space. The big-ticket items are done: new hurricane impact windows and sliding glass door, and a roof replaced in 2021. Then step outside, where this home really shines. The screened lanai is made for morning coffee and evening breezes, with an open patio beyond for grilling. The privacy-fenced backyard is huge, with plenty of room for a pool, a garden, or a place to stretch out and play. A 12'x14' shed is ready for kayaks, fishing gear, tools, or a workshop. The 1-car garage adds built-in shelving and a laundry area with a utility sink. The location makes everyday life easy. You are centrally located near grocery stores, shopping, schools, hospitals, and restaurants, and just minutes from the dining, waterfront parks, and events of downtown Punta Gorda. Boat ramps are close by, so a day of fishing or boating on Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of America is never far away.
