701 Bal Harbor Blvd., Punta Gorda, FL 33950

This surprisingly spacious pool home is located on 80 feet of concrete seawall with a boat dock. What is the number one reason people come to Florida and MOVE to the prestigious boater friendly community of Punta Gorda Isles? It is the water, and this home offers the perfect spot to start living the LIFE. Make the quick (less than 15 minute) boat ride to the Harbor and get to the fishing hot spot, water side restaurant, or the beach and catch some rays. On the off day when the boat is not used, take advantage of the prime location in the City of Punta Gorda. The location is perfect, as it is just a short distance from several parks, Fishermen’s Village, dining and shops. Punta Gorda offers weekly Farmers Markets, countless festivals, and a local civic association. This home features multiple great spaces to entertain. Let’s start with the swimming pool. It’s beautiful and has the latest technology. An ultraviolet light ozone generator sanitizing system, floor cleaning equipment and high efficiency variable speed pump keep the pool beautiful at a low cost of operation. The pool is the center piece of the fantastic fenced back yard surrounded by palm trees and palm hedges for privacy from the neighbors. The landscaping is all low maintenance “Florida Friendly”. In addition to 26’ wide screened lanai, there are two outdoor patios. Time inside the home is equally enjoyable as large sliding doors and large windows which offer views of the canal and access to the pool. The updated, well-lit kitchen is the perfect place to cook the catch from your day on the water. The chef will love the stainless-steel counters, glass backsplash and smooth-face white cabinets. Plenty of storage and a pantry provide room for all your favorite ingredients and cooking supplies. The floorplan of this home provides surprisingly large rooms and comfortable useful space. The 24’ living room with adjacent dining room offer the perfect place to entertain friends and family. The Extra-large 18’ master suite features a huge open shower, and large walk-in closet with built-ins. Sliding door access to the lanai and great views of the pool and canal. The guest bedroom also features great view of the canal, and is spacious. It features full-wall closet and private access to the second bathroom. Both bathrooms feature real white ceramic tile shower surrounds. There is a separate home office with built-in desk, filing cabinets and shelving. This home checks all the boxes when it comes to storage with ample garage, attic, and outdoor storage. The indoor air quality is excellent with MERV 13 filtration. This is a no-smoking, no pets home. The energy efficient HVAC system is rated at 14 SEER! This well-maintained system is controlled by Smart Home technology from a Honeywell Bluetooth thermostat. In addition to the energy efficient HVAC the home has 10” of blown-in insulation over the original fiberglass batt insulation. Energy efficiency also includes extensive use of LED and fluorescent lighting. The five outdoor light sconces feature LED bulbs with automatic dusk-to-dawn light sensors. Additionally, there is a solar light tunnel (skylight) in the guest bathroom offering FREE lighting. One more GREEN feature worth a mention is the instant hot water system that eliminates the long wait for hot water. Not only is this a convenience, but it eliminates the large waste of water.
