Affordable waterfront home with dock located on one of Punta Gorda's most prestigious streets. Surrounded by million dollar homes, this property is a bargain at this price. Launch your boat at the nearby public boat ramp and dock it in your back yard. Enjoy the tranquility and the wildlife at Shell Creek from your screened lanai, peacful and quiet yet only 6 minutes from downtown Punta Gorda. This home would have a positive cash flow for an investor, but would also be an excellent home for an owner occupant as the area warrants any improvements a homeowner would make.
