Property Description

Step into the kind of location buyers wait for—this “Old Florida Style” home sits on a spacious 1/3-acre corner lot just one block from the waterfront along Charlotte Harbor and Bayshore Live Oak Park. This area is known for its large, mature Live Oak trees that create beautiful natural shade and that classic Old Florida feel. If you’ve been looking for that hard-to-find combination of space, location, and flexibility, this property checks all the boxes. Originally built in 1958 and now updated and move-in ready, it offers over 1,600 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, an open floorplan, interior laundry room, and a large screened lanai to enjoy the Florida lifestyle year-round. Inside, the home has already had many of the big updates taken care of, including a metal roof (2014), new epoxy flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, all new appliances, newer HVAC unit, and a new water heater—making it easy to move right in while still leaving room to add your own personal touches over time. Public water and sewer are already connected, adding everyday convenience. Outside is where this property really stands out. The oversized corner lot offers a shell circular driveway plus a separate concrete driveway that could easily be enclosed using the existing privacy fence along the road-facing side of the backyard—perfect for storing boats, trailers, or extra vehicles. The hurricane-rated shed with built-in workbenches and shelving gives you a ready-to-go workspace or storage area, something that’s getting harder to find. With no deed restrictions or HOA fees, you have the freedom to truly use this property how you want—whether that’s a full-time residence, seasonal getaway, or income-producing Airbnb. And if you’re looking for even more space, the adjacent lot directly behind the home is currently available for sale, offering the opportunity to expand your property by an additional .32 acres. The location only adds to the appeal—just minutes from boat ramps, fishing spots, Edgewater Dog Park, Port Charlotte Beach Park, and the Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club. You’re also only about a mile from Sunseeker Resort for dining and entertainment, and a short scenic walk or bike ride along the waterfront paths takes you into Punta Gorda for even more to enjoy. Opportunities like this—large lot, prime location, flexibility, and room to expand—don’t come up often. Come take a look and see the potential for yourself.
