Virtually Staged. As the sun settles over Charlotte Harbor and the palms begin to sway, the front porch becomes your favorite seat in the house. Just one property from Gilchrist Park in the heart of Punta Gorda's Historic District, this beautifully restored 1920's residence invites you to slow down and savor a lifestyle where evening strolls along the waterfront, dolphins playing offshore, live music downtown, and unforgettable Florida sunsets become part of your everyday routine. Thoughtfully restored while honoring its historic character, this exceptional home offers nearly 2,758 square feet of living space on a rare double lot, creating opportunities seldom found within the Historic District. A classic brick driveway, mature palms, and one of Punta Gorda's charming brick streets complete the timeless curb appeal. Inside, original refinished wood floors carry the story of the home from room to room, blending beautifully with carefully selected modern updates that make daily living effortless. Sunlight pours through oversized windows, filling the formal living and dining rooms with warmth before opening into a spacious family room where French doors invite the outdoors in. The renovated kitchen offers generous cabinet storage and overlooks the main living area, making it easy to stay connected whether entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes three bedrooms and two full baths on the main level, providing comfortable everyday living, while the upstairs bonus room with its own full bath creates an ideal space for guests, a media room, home office, studio, or private retreat. A screened porch with rich wood plank ceilings offers another inviting place to unwind as coastal breezes drift through the property. While the home's character reflects another era, its essential systems have been updated for today's lifestyle, including a 2025 restoration by Wetherington, two 2025 A/C units, updated plumbing and electrical, and assumable flood insurance offering the confidence today's buyers appreciate without sacrificing historic charm. Life here extends well beyond the property. Walk or bike just moments to Gilchrist Park, Charlotte Harbor, Fishermen's Village, marinas, waterfront paths, pickleball and tennis courts, locally owned restaurants, boutique shopping, weekly farmers markets, festivals, and the vibrant downtown Punta Gorda waterfront. Whether searching for a full-time residence, seasonal escape, luxury vacation rental, or an investment in one of Southwest Florida's most treasured historic neighborhoods, this home offers an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to replicate. More than a beautiful home, this is a chance to own a piece of Punta Gorda's past while embracing everything that makes its future so special.
