Open the telescopic sliding doors from either the living area or the kitchen into the expansive screened and glassed-in lanai, where you can sit back and enjoy the spectacular sunsets. Entertain your guests on the lanai where you’ll find a counter bar, sink, and beverage refrigerator. A second set of full-view glass doors have recently been installed in place of the original vinyl windows in the lanai to allow easy access to the harbor breezes.

A third bedroom is directly across the hall from a 3rd full bath with walk-in shower, completely tiled and beautifully appointed. French doors reveal a 4th room which could be used as an office or den. Tucked just off the living room is a large laundry room with more storage, a window and utility sink. Additional features: The air conditioner was replaced in 2018 and a new roof was installed in 2023. The oversized 2-car garage has overhead storage racks. There is beautiful engineered real maple wood flooring throughout the home, new stormproof windows, and a roll-down hurricane shutter on the front door. The active community features a heated pool and spa, a clubhouse with a full kitchen, and workout facilities.

Myers on Florida's Gulf Coast, this condo will not last long! If you are interested in making this a TURNKEY home and start enjoying everything Punta Gorda has to offer, no problem! All furniture, with very few small exceptions, is available for a negotiated price. Would you like to level-up your FL lifestyle with a gorgeous Back Cove 30’ boat sitting on your private boat lift? That can be negotiated as well! We are parting with our beloved Cygnet and moving north.The condo is in a quiet community surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. We spend many delightful sunny hours in the lanai overlooking a large pond. This second floor unit is served by a private elevator completely enclosed within the condo. The most striking feature of the condo is the soaring vaulted ceilings in most rooms, including a 15 foot peak in the living room. A deeded dock slip on the adjacent canal comes with the condo, and a 27,000 lb lift will accommodate a large cruising boat. The canal provides direct unimpeded access to Charlotte Harbor, and from there, to the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. Perfect for any boater or someone who would like to become a boater.
