Sailboat water, no bridges to the Gulf, a 10,000 lb boat lift, and room for a 37+ foot vessel or larger right in your backyard. Welcome to one of Burnt Store Isles' most impressive waterfront estates, where the lifestyle sells itself before you ever step inside. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Burnt Store Isles, this elevated Craftsman-style home makes a statement from the moment you arrive. Steps lead up to an expansive covered front porch, the kind of space that immediately tells you this home lives differently than everything else on the market. With 77 feet of saltwater canal frontage, direct bridge-free Gulf access, and 3,241 square feet of heated living space plus an additional 1,229 square feet of covered outdoor areas, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom two-story residence checks every box for the serious Florida waterfront buyer. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer sets the tone with soaring ceilings and an open staircase. The chef's kitchen features solid wood shaker cabinets, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances, all overlooking the pool, canal, and dock. Multiple French doors connect the living and dining areas to the outdoors, and wide-plank 12x48 tile runs continuously throughout the entire home. A wood-burning stone fireplace with stone surround anchors the living room, while crown molding and high ceilings carry through every space. The main floor includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a generously sized laundry room with utility sink, folding station, and cabinetry. Upstairs, the private primary suite spans approximately 775 square feet and opens to a screened balcony with sweeping canal views. The ensuite bathroom features a double vanity, dedicated dressing vanity, garden tub, and separate glass-enclosed shower. A custom walk-in closet measuring 18x13 completes the retreat. Step outside to a 30x15 screened, heated pool with a newly replaced screen enclosure (2023), surrounded by covered lanai space ideal for year-round entertaining. The concrete dock with electric and water supply and 10,000 lb lift are ready for use. This is true sailboat water with no bridges between you and the Gulf, meaning unrestricted access to Charlotte Harbor and beyond. The seawall is concrete and maintained by the City of Punta Gorda through the Burnt Store Isles Canal Maintenance District, removing that expense and responsibility from the homeowner entirely. A fully fenced yard with iron fencing keeps the breeze flowing while a lawn irrigation system keeps everything green year round. Major updates are already done: roof replaced (2023), pool screen enclosure replaced (2023), two zoned A/C systems (replaced 2022 and 2024), two water heaters replaced (2022), ductwork cleanout (2022), and concrete dock rebuild (2022). An oversized two-car garage with workbench, storage space and attic access rounds out the package. Twin Isles Country Club is approximately one mile away and offers golf, tennis, and dining with a separate membership. Furnishings negotiable.
