THE LOT, THE VIEW, THE LOCATION – THIS HOME HAS IT ALL! Enjoy spectacular lake & golf course views without the drawbacks of living directly on a fairway. This custom 3 bed/2 bath/3-car garage Punta Gorda Isles home features 2,037 sq ft of living space, a heated saltwater pool & a distinctive setting overlooking the lake and four fairways of the private St. Andrews South Golf Club. The lake creates a natural buffer between the backyard & golf course, allowing you to enjoy the scenery without golfers passing directly behind the lanai on a cart path. Located on a quiet, no-through street away from tees, greens & cart paths, the oversized lot combines a desirable location w/a beautiful waterfront backdrop. Inside, the open floor plan features a great room, formal dining area & kitchen w/adjacent breakfast nook. Double tray ceilings, crown molding, 8-ft doors, plantation shutters & custom stained glass entry doors add character, while porcelain tile flooring laid on the diagonal flows throughout the home. Large windows fill the home w/natural light, and disappearing sliding glass doors open the great room to the lanai, drawing your attention to the lake beyond. The kitchen features granite counters, solid wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash & an oversized wraparound breakfast bar. A large mitered window in the breakfast nook frames the pool, lake & golf course views. The spacious master suite offers lanai access & an ensuite bath w/split granite-topped vanities, a garden tub surrounded by three arched windows w/plantation shutters & a separate tiled shower. Two guest bedrooms & a full bath are located on the opposite side of the home for added privacy. Outside, the oversized lanai features a paver deck surrounding the heated saltwater pool with room for dining or sunbathing as well as a covered dining/seating area. SOUTHERN REAR EXPOSURE keeps the lanai warm & sunny throughout the day, even during cooler winter months. Whether dining in the shade or spending the afternoon poolside, the lake & golf course remain in view. An outdoor shower w/hot & cold water adds convenience. Additional features include an attached 3-car garage w/oversized 9-ft door, interior laundry room w/storage cabinetry, paver driveway & tropical landscaping. FULL HURRICANE PROTECTION includes impact-resistant windows, electric roll-down shutters at the front entry & rear guest bedroom plus retractable StormSmart Kevlar screens on the lanai. RECENT UPDATES include A/C (2025), water heater (2025), dishwasher (2025), microwave (2025), refrigerator (2024) & stove (2023). Additional improvements include attic foam insulation & a rescreened pool cage. Life in Punta Gorda Isles extends well beyond the golf course, w/boating, fishing & waterfront activities nearby. The Punta Gorda Isles Civic Association (PGICA) brings neighbors together through clubs, classes & social activities. Enjoy convenient access to Fishermen’s Village, Isles Yacht Club, area parks & historic downtown Punta Gorda for dining, shopping & entertainment.
