Experience the charm of "Old Florida" living in this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, ideally situated on a spacious 1/3-acre corner lot just one block from Charlotte Harbor and beautiful Bayshore Live Oak Park. Surrounded by majestic Live Oak trees, this highly desirable neighborhood offers a peaceful setting while keeping you close to everything Southwest Florida has to offer. Originally built in 1958 and thoughtfully updated, this move-in-ready home offers over 1,600 square feet of comfortable living space with an open floor plan, interior laundry room, and a large screened lanai that's perfect for relaxing or entertaining year-round. Recent improvements include a metal roof (2014), new epoxy flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, all-new appliances, a newer HVAC system, and a new water heater, allowing you to move right in with confidence while still adding your own personal style over time. Public water and sewer provide added convenience. The oversized corner lot is one of this home's standout features, offering plenty of room for your toys and hobbies. A shell circular driveway welcomes guests, while a separate concrete driveway could easily be enclosed using the existing privacy fence—ideal for storing a boat, trailer, RV, or additional vehicles. The hurricane-rated storage shed is equipped with built-in workbenches and shelving, creating the perfect workshop or storage space. With no deed restrictions or HOA fees, you'll enjoy the freedom to use the property as a full-time residence, seasonal retreat, or income-producing vacation rental. Even better, the adjacent .32-acre lot directly behind the home is also available for purchase, providing a rare opportunity to expand your property or create additional privacy. The location is hard to beat. Spend your days enjoying nearby boat ramps, fishing, Edgewater Dog Park, Port Charlotte Beach Park, and the Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club. Sunseeker Resort is just about a mile away for waterfront dining and entertainment, while the scenic Harborwalk and historic downtown Punta Gorda are just a short bike ride or drive away. As an added bonus, the lawn mower and grill are included with the home, making it even easier to settle in and start enjoying the Florida lifestyle from day one. Large lots, prime locations, and homes with this much flexibility are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
