Welcome Home to the highly desirable tropical paradise of South Gulf Cove! Tucked away off of Gasparilla Road and a mere 10 minutes to the pristine beaches and turquoise gulf waters of Boca Grande, your pool home awaits you on an oversized corner lot on a quiet street. In only 15 minutes you can be in bustling downtown Port Charlotte; in 20 minutes you can shop Cocoplum Plaza in North Port or the shops, restaurants and Farmers Market of quaint Dearborn Street in Englewood. Miles of wide, newly installed SGC community sidewalks and the nearness of the Cape Haze Pioneer Trail offer the active SGC resident fabulous bicycling or walking/running routes. And if golf is your thing, there are countless courses just minutes away. There are numerous community groups/organizations to join if you choose to do so.
A fully screened-in front entry welcomes you into this light and bright home. Open the 8’ triple pocketing glass doors in the living room to invite the outdoors in. Ahhh…feel that warm Florida air? We love our outdoor spaces here! Kick back on your fully screened-in lanai cooled by the breeze of two ceiling fans and plenty of room to spread out on a comfy chaise or dine at an outdoor table. Float in your own backyard pool or catch some Florida sunshine on your concrete sundeck adjacent to the screened lanai/pool deck and complimented by beautiful plantings. Hot? Take a rinse under your outdoor shower.
A vaulted living room ceiling gives you the feeling of openness with lots of southern light from the sliders and windows. Recessed lighting, a ceiling fan and plant shelves create a feeling of home here. In your master suite (behind a pocket door) sliding glass doors bring you out to the lanai. Two walk-in closets provide a great storage space. The master bath has a terrific layout with a long double vanity with make-up counter in the middle, a Roman shower, linen closet, a ceiling fan and plantation shutters on the window. There is plenty of room for a king bed and furnishings in this master bedroom. One the opposite side of the home you will find the guest suite behind double pocketing doors for added privacy. Both guest rooms have sizeable reach-in closets and nice natural light. They share a bathroom with step-in shower and a glass door with privacy blinds that leads out to the lanai to use this bath as a pool bath too. Your laundry room is spacious with a nice window for natural light, lots of upper and lower cabinetry, a large pantry, storage shelving and a washer and dryer that stay with the home. In your efficiently designed kitchen you will enjoy lots of cabinetry, a raised breakfast bar with seating space for four, a ceiling fan and double stainless sink with new garbage disposal and plenty of countertop prep space. Off of the kitchen is a cozy nook for dining or just tucking yourself away by the window and reading. You will find a nice dining area well lit from a big front window with plantation shutters.
The garage offers space for two cars and plenty of storage, a new in 2018 hot water heater, utility sink for messy jobs, a new super quiet overhead garage door opener, and a utility door to the side of the home for access to trash and recycle barrels, the portable generator pad and concrete walkway to the front of the home.
Lovely low-maintenance landscaping will catch your eye at this home. Call today for your private tour! (Video to post soon)
