707 W Retta Esplanade, Punta Gorda, FL 33950

Delightful waterview, park-front home in scenic Punta Gorda’s Historic District. This classic home is located on Retta Esplanade, the Historic District’s premier front row to Gilchrist Park and Charlotte Harbor. Relax on the full-width front porch with your morning coffee or afternoon libation as you watch boats transit Charlotte Harbor. Harborwalk, Punta Gorda’s popular walking/biking path that runs 2.3 miles along the waterfront is just across the street (Google Punta Gorda Harborwalk). Right out the door within easy walking and biking distance are downtown Punta Gorda, Fisherman’s Village dining and shops, open-air weekend markets, library, parks, the Visual Arts Center, the Charlotte County Events Center, great restaurants, weekend festivals, and so much more. People throughout Charlotte County and beyond drive to the Historic District and Gilchrist Park every day to enjoy what the District and Park offer - why not just live here? Custom-designed, open-plan 3/2 split for privacy, maximized by insulated interior walls. Character enhanced by Brazilian cherry wood floors in the living and dining areas and window bays in the living room, dining area, master bedroom, and front guest room. French doors in the master bedroom. Stunning seasonal sunsets over Charlotte Harbor visible from almost every room in the house and from the front porch. Rear deck off the kitchen for grilling and enjoying the sun. Built elevated to current code in 1993 and updated since with a standing seam metal roof and full-house impact windows and doors. Additional cross-bracing added during original construction has helped see this home safely through two major hurricanes. Xeroscaped and native plant butterfly garden throughout the 92.5’ x 105’ corner lot, bordered by brick-paved and Royal Palm-lined streets.
