16216 Palmetto St., Punta Gorda, FL 33982

This is not your typical resale. 16216 Palmetto Street is a former Meritage model home built in 2019 and designed from the ground up to showcase everything the builder had to offer. What that means for you: premium finishes, thoughtful upgrades, and a level of fit and finish that standard production homes simply don't deliver. Four bedrooms, three full baths, and 2,190 square feet unfold across a split floor plan designed for both privacy and connection. The den has been converted into a fourth bedroom with its own private en-suite bath; perfect for multigenerational families, out-of-town guests, or a dedicated home office that feels like its own retreat. Every surface has been refreshed. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout, fresh paint throughout and a new refrigerator all installed within the last year. This home is genuinely move-in ready, not just marketed-as move-in ready like most. The two car garage goes well beyond storage; climate controlled, finished with coated concrete floors and flush mount lighting, it functions as legitimate year-round bonus space whether that becomes a workshop, fitness room, or hobby studio. Step out back to a screened lanai with preserve views that offer privacy, tranquility, and a natural backdrop that feel like a serene oasis. All of this sits inside Babcock Ranch, America's first solar-powered community and one of Southwest Florida's most resilient and sought-after locations. Resort pools, pickleball, tennis, waterfront dining, Founders Square entertainment, trails, and a Publix-anchored shopping center are all within the community.
