Picture your mornings starting on the peaceful screened lanai, coffee in hand, with green views, swaying trees and big Florida skies in front of you. This is the kind of place where you actually slow down. Better yet, this meticulously maintained three bedroom second floor corner residence, that was originally a model home, is being offered turnkey furnished, so you can skip the furniture shopping and start enjoying Florida living from day one! Handsomely appointed starting with your private entry with wood capped stairs that lead up to a bright, open home surrounded by pleasing natural light and tropical breezes. Attractive wood-look porcelain floors run through the main living space, where there's plenty of space to spread out for movie nights or to gather everyone for the holidays. The dining area sits right beside it, ready for long dinners with friends, and the kitchen keeps you part of the conversation. It has rich wood cabinetry, tasteful granite counters and a breakfast bar for casual meals or a glass of wine while dinner cooks. Crown molding adds a finishing touch to the neutral color palette. When the day winds down, the primary suite is your retreat. The inviting bedroom enjoys views of the scenic yard with direct access to the lanai through the french door. Staying organized is a snap with the walk-in closet with customized shelving. The ensuite bath offers an expansive vanity with warm wood cabinetry, drawer storage with counter space dual sinks, and a tiled shower. A second bedroom is located at the front of the condo and gives guests their own comfortable space, so visiting family will want to stay a while. The third bedroom/den adds another option: a home office, a hobby room, or a cozy spot to read or catch the game. Step outside and the resort lifestyle continues. Spend afternoons at the heated community pool, lounging on the sun deck under the palms, then unwind in the spa as the sun goes down. An attached garage has been customized to provide great storage for your car, bikes, beach chairs, gear and holiday decor. Take a cruise on your bike to the community park or kayak launch to get in touch with nature. Head out of the community and you're minutes from waterfront dining, boating, golf and everything that makes the Punta Gorda area so easy to love.
