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 extra-large 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 has room for a king-sized bed, end tables and a dresser with a large closet and has access to the updated electric panel with whole home surge protection. The third bedroom is smaller & was previously outfitted with a twin bed and armoire; it 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 shingle roof is approximately 5 years old and carport/lanai roof is 3 inch insulated Tech-Lite Heavy duty.
