Turnkey, lakefront, solar-powered, and better than new! Welcome to 16440 Marsh Lane in the sought-after Crescent Lakes community of Punta Gorda-where modern efficiency meets Florida lifestyle. This barely-lived-in Cardinal Model by Meritage Homes offers 3 bedrooms plus an open den, 2.5 bathrooms, and a spacious 3-car garage across nearly 2,200 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space. Skip the builder wait and costly upgrades-this home is priced better than new construction and comes packed with over $50,000 in premium upgrades, including a fully paid-off solar system-built to power the home, a future pool/spa, and even an electric vehicle. Average electric bills are just $35/month. Impact glass windows and doors provide storm protection and peace of mind, while epoxy-coated garage flooring offers a polished, durable finish. Inside, you'll find a California Closets system in the primary suite, a custom feature wall with trim detail in the great room, modern window coverings throughout, and solar tints in the front bedrooms for added efficiency. Even better, this home is being sold fully turnkey, including $25,000 in brand-new furniture-just bring your suitcase and move in! Enjoy lakefront living with peaceful backyard views and plenty of space to add a pool or spa. The open den works perfectly as a home office, study area, or hobby space. Crescent Lakes is a gated, all-electric Meritage Homes community with an impressive Platinum Florida Green Building Coalition rating. The HOA covers high-speed internet, lawn care, a resort-style pool, pickleball courts, and automated gate access-all with low monthly fees.
