STUNNING WATERFRONT HOME! Days here begin by the water and end beneath glowing skies, with a private dock, heated pool, and thoughtfully updated interior creating a home that lives as beautifully as it looks. An impressive waterfront residence in Punta Gorda Isles, this home sets itself apart with DIRECT Gulf access, refined living spaces, and a thoughtfully curated list of recent upgrades. From the street, the home impresses with lush landscaping, irrigation, and fresh exterior paint beneath a new 2024 roof. The NEW Impact-rated windows and doors (2025) also provide peace of mind (front door has Kevlar shutters). Inside the double-door entry, an inviting layout unfolds, highlighted by travertine flooring, upgraded trim work, and abundant natural light. The great room anchors the home and flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen, where granite countertops, custom cabinetry, updated appliances, and a modern induction cooktop create a space ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. The adjacent dining area enjoys uninterrupted views of the oversized lanai, pool, and tranquil waterway beyond. One wing of the home offers two guest bedrooms and a beautifully updated hall bathroom. Guest bedroom one features terrazzo flooring and two built-in closets, while the third bedroom is finished with luxury vinyl flooring, offering excellent flexibility for guests or a home office. The Florida Room provides a versatile gathering space with sliding glass doors that open to the expansive outdoor living area. The lanai is a true highlight, offering generous shaded seating, a separate pavered sun deck, and a large 2017 PebbleTec-finished salwater heated pool with both a heater and solar heat. Mature avocado, mango, and starfruit trees enhance the setting, adding both privacy and a tropical backdrop. The primary suite is privately positioned and features a spacious walk-in closet with a large safe and an updated en-suite bathroom with a luxurious vanity with storage, dual sinks
