WOW, you owe it to yourself to take a closer look at this rarely available riverfront property! With 130 feet of Peace River shoreline and approximately 1.38 acres, this beautiful old-Florida property on Riverside Drive abounds with opportunity. Mostly cleared and landscaped, this parcel sports a nicely maintained mid-seventies home that takes full advantage of the unobstructed and unspoiled wide river view. With 1488 square feet of living space, this residence has two bedrooms, two full baths, plus an oversized one-car attached garage. Over the past four years, the current owner has beautifully re-imagined the Kitchen and bathrooms, the landscaping and the utility room. The home has newer appliances (2017), a new air conditioner (2019), many new storm-rated windows (2018) and new dockage. A full list of improvements is associated with this listing. Although this remarkable property is pristine and move-in ready, there is the potential for the next owner to move, perhaps relocate this home, to the front of the parcel and construct their dream home on the riverfront site – just a thought! As to location, from here, you are only . 2 miles from the amazing Peace River Botanical Sculpture Gardens, 1.9 miles from shopping and just five miles from historic downtown Punta Gorda. TAKE ADVANTAGE of the 3D INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL TOUR associated with this listing and walk-though now!

Enjoy making memories on the screened porch with french doors opening into the great room. The large windows in the dining and great rooms bring the view right into the home. The interior laundry room has a nice surprise of a shower, for days when you come right off the boat and need convenience. Corner windows in both the guest and master bedrooms make them feel light and spacious with views of the live oak trees and water to enjoy. The coastal Florida design of the interior spaces carries through the kitchen, with solid surface counters and stainless steel appliances.
