Relish relaxed waterfront living in this enchanting home in Punta Gorda Isles with one of the most stunning long and intersecting views you will find.  The expansive water views are truly what help to make this lovingly updated home so special.  Per owner, this home was originally a Michigan Homes built model – so you know that solid construction and extra care went into building it.  This charming home has a separate living room and family room - perfect for family and friends when separate entertaining spaces are often a huge plus.  The large gourmet kitchen has Thermofoil cabinets with granite counters and pull-out drawers, and a pass-through to the lanai with granite extending to accommodate bar stools while serving food and beverages on the lanai.  Both bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled with solid wood cabinets and granite counters.  The master bedroom ensuite is spacious and a wonderful place to relax at the end of the evening.  The tiled lanai looks out at the amazing view, and the perfect place to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets.  With a 15' dock, and 20K boat lift, the experience is complete to launch your boat and be out in Charlotte Harbor in under 10 minutes. Feel secure with 100% hurricane protection with a combination of electric and roll up shutters, and impact windows on the front bay windows.  Written up in Realtor.com on May 3, 2022 as the #1 "most popular spot for homebuyers" in the country, particularly for affordability of waterfront property versus surrounding areas such as Sarasota & Naples, this is the place to be!  Downtown Punta Gorda is just a few minutes away with a 3-milewalking/jogging/hiking path along Charlotte Harbor and an 8-mile path that surrounds the city.  You will not find better restaurants than what this city offers, year-round events, or Farmer's Market every Saturday.  Punta Gorda has been voted one of the top 10 small towns in the country for boating & retirement, runner up in a 2013 Rand McNally contest as most beautiful small cities in the US, and recently written up as the 2nd safest city in the state of Florida.  Come experience this lovely home and all that Punta Gorda offers!
