A covered front porch made for slow mornings. A sprawling fenced backyard that backs to a peaceful greenbelt, giving you privacy, room to garden, space to entertain, and breathing room you rarely find at this price point.Screened and open-air porch areas invite you to unwind year-round.Location? It quietly overdelivers.Minutes to Darst Park and the public boat ramp with direct access to the Peace River and Charlotte Harbor. Downtown Punta Gorda's restaurants and waterfront charm are just a short drive away, and Port Charlotte's shopping and entertainment sit right across the bridge. Golf courses nearby. Gulf beaches within easy reach.Full-time residence.Winter escape.Investment in character.This isn't just square footage.It's a piece of Old Florida with room to live.
