Welcome to this beautifully transformed waterfront pool home in Punta Gorda Isles (PGI), where classic Florida architecture meets a modern, coastal interior renovation. Located near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac street near downtown Punta Gorda, and just minutes from the open water, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath canal-front home offers classic PGI charm where you can move in and instantly experience waterfront living! The interior has been opened up to create a brighter, more spacious flow. Smooth Level 5 drywall finishes, clean white walls, recessed LED lighting, continuous tile flooring, new interior doors and trim, updated electrical fixtures, remote-control ceiling fans, and fresh interior paint give the home a clean, airy, modern feel. At the center of the home, the remodeled kitchen anchors the main living spaces and opens to both sides of the floor plan. One side flows into the living/dining areas; the other side connects to a family room with a built-in bar. The kitchen features real wood soft-close cabinetry, high-end quartz countertops, a large breakfast bar, and upgraded KitchenAid appliances, including a downdraft oven. The built-in bar includes cabinetry, quartz countertop, tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, sink, and a dual-compartment wine/beverage chiller — an ideal feature for entertaining. The split-bedroom layout offers privacy and flexibility. Both the primary and guest bathrooms are fully remodeled with quartz-topped vanities, soft-close cabinetry, updated plumbing fixtures, LED mirrors, and stylish coastal tile work. Outdoor living is a major highlight. In front, a distinctive screened courtyard-style patio creates a private sitting area before you even step inside — perfect for morning coffee, reading, relaxing, or welcoming guests with a glass of wine. In back, the spacious screened lanai functions like an outdoor living room and dining room with views of the open-air pool, canal and surrounding waterfront homes. New PGT hurricane impact-rated sliding doors create an easy flow from the interior living spaces to the lanai, and new M/I hurricane impact-rated windows w/energy efficient glass can be found throughout the home for your comfort. The pool area has been beautifully refreshed with new tile, pool deck pavers, and an LED pool light. The open-air pool setting gives the backyard a relaxed resort-style feel, with canal views, sunset backdrops, and room to enjoy outdoor entertaining after time on the water. The backyard is fully fenced and includes spring-loaded gates with child-proof safety latches for added peace of mind. Boaters will appreciate the 80 feet of city-maintained concrete canal seawall and quick access to open water, with an estimated 6-8 minute ride to where the Peace River meets Charlotte Harbor (and then the Gulf). The canal outlet is conveniently located near Fishermen’s Village and charming downtown Punta Gorda. PLEASE LOOK AT THE HOME HIGHLIGHTS IN THE ATTACHMENTS. Some photos are virtually staged.
