PRICE DECREASE!!! Introducing a remarkable home now available in the vibrant center of Port Charlotte, featuring a HEATED POOL and encompassing over 2,200 square feet. This residence showcases 18-inch ceramic tile flooring throughout--completely carpet-free--and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious two-car garage, all ready for its new owner. The floor plan is thoughtfully designed with a split-bedroom layout, where a long corridor separates the sleeping quarters to ensure maximum privacy. Two distinct living areas provide ample room for entertaining guests or accommodating larger households. Positioned alongside a FRESHWATER CANAL, this property is free from deed restrictions and lies within an X Flood zone, potentially freeing you from the obligation of flood insurance. Elevated and dry, the home remained unaffected by recent storms. The generously sized kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with granite countertops, a contemporary SS refrigerator, a stylish stone backsplash, a slide-in stove, a pass-through window leading to the lanai, abundant cabinetry, and a pantry closet. A cozy breakfast nook is conveniently nearby. The primary bedroom is spacious featuring an ENORMOUS WALK-IN CLOSET and an en-suite bathroom with double sinks, granite countertops, walk-in shower, and SKYLIGHT. The guest bathroom is also generously sized, offering a beautiful vanity and walk-in shower. Down the hall lie the two additional bedrooms, each equipped with ceiling fans and built-in closets; notably, both are larger than typical guest rooms. Both the living and family room are expansive and can accommodate large furnishings with ease. The HEATED POOL and surrounding enclosure (installed in 2020) overlook a sizable backyard with tranquil water views teeming with diverse bird and wildlife. Whether fishing from your backyard, kayaking along the canal, or taking a refreshing swim, outdoor enjoyment is limitless. The extensive covered deck measures 37 by 15 feet, stretching lengthwise to accommodate holiday celebrations at home. A large, electrically wired shed provides abundant storage for tools and yard necessities, while the FULLY FENCED yard ensures both privacy and security. Noteworthy features of this property include rain gutters, a NEW ROOF in 2024, an additional tent-style shed, and IMPACT WINDOWS throughout, except in the two guest bedrooms and doors. Inside, elements such as chair rails, crown molding, lofty ceilings, and a fresh two-tone paint scheme add charm and character to the home. In addition there are SKYLIGHTS located in the foyer, kitchen and primary bath for added natural light! For added convenience, there is a laundry room located next to the oversized spacious two-car garage. What makes this location truly exceptional? For starters, you will experience breathtaking cotton candy sunsets. Within just a thirty-minute drive, you can reach stunning, unspoiled Gulf Beaches. If boating or fishing is your passion, numerous boat ramps, marinas, and fishing piers are available nearby. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the many courses within easy reach, and the vibrant Murdock area--with its variety of restaurants and shopping options--is very close.
