This isn’t just a home; it’s your gateway to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico. Situated on the wide Crystal Waterway, this property offers true sailboat access—that means no fixed bridges to slow you down.

Slide open the glass doors to your massive covered deck—the ultimate spot for sunset cocktails. From here, overlook your heated in-ground pool and a fully fenced backyard designed for privacy and play. With 85 feet of water frontage and a sturdy riprap seawall, your maritime investment is secure. You are perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of Punta Gorda: Fishermen’s Village: Just minutes away for boutique shopping and waterfront dining. Or, take a quick boat ride over to the Riveria Grill and enjoy lively music. Downtown Charm: A short bike ride takes you to the historic district for dinner at The Perfect Caper or a stroll through Laishley Park. Nature & Sunsets: Explore the mangrove trails at Ponce de Leon Park or visit the permanent residents at the Peace River Wildlife Center.
