There are houses and then there are homes, and if you are looking for the inviting warm embrace where memories are to be made, this is the home for you. Located in Punta Gorda’s Burnt Store Meadows community, this meticulously maintained 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers a diversity of living options for a growing family or for someone looking to downsize without compromising the quality of functional living space afforded in a larger home. Upon entry you are captivated by the amount of natural light that floods the home and is enhanced by volume ceilings, well-positioned skylights and subtle architectural detailing. This modest floorplan offers a uniquely diverse host of lifestyle options within a surprising amount of living space. The covered lanai area, capturing expansive greenbelt vistas, has been converted into a large casual great room, perfect for family gatherings or when entertaining friends and neighbors. A bonus room, currently being used for additional storage space was created from the original lanai and could possibly be reconfigured to expand the living area even further. Inside, each bedroom suite is comfortable in size, offering a peaceful ambiance of its own. One of the guest suites features pocketing sliding doors and can be used for your out-of-town guests or is large enough to use as an additional family room or small media room. For the hobbyist, there is even enough room in the garage for you to work on your favorite project or craft. What more could you want? Protected by hurricane shutters and neatly landscaped, with plenty of room to build a pool if that is your desire, you won’t find a better home at a more affordable price. Within minutes to Punta Gorda’s historic waterfront and its diverse harbor front shops, restaurants, parks, bike paths, weekend Farmer’s Markets and the famed Fisherman’s Village, there is no better way to enjoy the lifestyle Florida has to offer.
