Wonderful home now available in the Premier 55+ Resident-Owned (no lot lease fees) and Gated Burnt Store Colony community in beautiful, coastal Punta Gorda! This 3 bed/ 2 bath home has been updated and lovingly maintained. The Open floor concept highlights the spacious and light-filled interior. The kitchen has granite counter tops, a breakfast bar, ample counter and cabinet space, and opens to the dining area. There is also an interior laundry area off the kitchen, with a newer washer and dryer. The vast living room/great room has sliders to the front porch and overlooks a lovely landscaped area. The Primary bedroom is en-suite and has enough room for a sitting area or office. One large closet is in main bedroom, and a second is in the updated, luxury bathroom! Storage galore! The second bedroom currently sports a cowboy motif with a large closet and has access to the updated electric panel with whole home surge protection. The third bedroom is smaller and can also be used as a den, office or bonus room. Both share the second full bath. The shade shutters offer extra privacy and energy efficiency. All windows and the sliders are tinted for solar protection, including the storage shed! If you want sun, there is a patio overlooking the greenway (no rear neighbors). The 2025 roof is 3 inch insulated Tech-Lite Heavy duty. There are seamless gutters built to withstand any rainstorm. The extended carport is the same roof as the main home. No expense spared! A golf cart in need of a little TLC (batteries) can be included. There is room to screen in a lanai or add a Florida Room and there is already a second, mini-split (2019) air conditioner ready to accommodate.
