LIFE ON THE WATER isn't just a dream—it starts here! Set on one of the WIDEST CANALS in South Gulf Cove with true Gulf access, this home delivers the BOATING and FISHING lifestyle you've been waiting for. Just two bridges from the lagoon, you'll enjoy DIRECT ACCESS to Charlotte Harbor and the GULF beyond. The durable riprap SEAWALL is already in place, the wood DOCK WITH ELECTRIC is ready for your boat, and with more than 55 miles of NAVIGABLE canals threading throughout the community, there's always somewhere new to explore. Featuring FOUR BEDROOMS, THREE FULL BATHS, a THREE-CAR GARAGE, and over 2,500 square feet, this home provides plenty of ELBOW ROOM to live, work, and entertain! Double front doors open to soaring 12-foot ceilings, triple bay windows, abundant natural light, and architectural archways that create an open, inviting feel. TWO EXPANSIVE LIVING AREAS offer flexibility for a media room, HOME OFFICE, playroom, or fitness space. The SPLIT FLOOR PLAN provides privacy, with the spacious primary suite featuring lanai access, dual vanities, a walk-in closet, tiled shower, and soaking tub. Three generously sized guest bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home, along with a THIRD FULL BATH with direct lanai access, making it ideal for outdoor entertaining or a future pool. At the heart of the home, the kitchen was designed for gathering with a double-tier island, built-in sink and dishwasher, stainless steel appliances, abundant counter space, a pantry, and seamless flow into the dining and living areas. A convenient INDOOR LAUNDRY room is just steps away. Then there is the VIEW: Slide open the 8-foot glass doors and the screened-in/covered lanai becomes an extension of the home expanding end to end. WIDE WATER VIEWS stretch before you creating the perfect backdrop for morning coffee or evenings spent watching the sky melt into shades of orange and pink. There's also plenty of room to design the custom pool you've always envisioned. Built for peace of mind, the home features hurricane protection, a 2022 roof, sits high and dry, and includes a very affordable TRANSFERABLE FLOOD POLICY that won't break the bank! The OPTIONAL HOA is just $120/year and includes multi-use pathways, a community boat ramp, parks, a playground, a bird sanctuary, and a popular Sunday farmers market. Just minutes from the SUGAR-SAND BEACHES of Boca Grande and Englewood, as well as marinas, championship golf, kayaking, spring training baseball, waterfront dining, and the shops and restaurants of historic Punta Gorda and Dearborn Street, you'll enjoy the very best of Southwest Florida. Fort Myers and Sarasota are both about 45 minutes away if you need a dose of big city life, with convenient access to nearby airports. This isn't simply a home on the water—it's your opportunity to embrace the boating lifestyle and experience Southwest Florida at its best.
