River Home For Sale

Pride of ownership shines in this well-maintained 1961 waterfront home featuring gleaming original terrazzo floors, tasteful updates, and classic Florida charm. Located just six lots from the Peace River with sailboat water access and no fixed bridges, this property offers the ideal Florida boating lifestyle with quick canal access to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf beyond.
Set on two oversized lots with 100 feet of concrete seawall along the DeSoto Canal, this sailboat-access waterfront home offers exceptional boating and expansion potential.
Inside, the home has been thoughtfully remodeled while preserving the beauty of the original terrazzo floors--polished to a brilliant shine that looks almost smooth enough to ice skate on. The open floor plan features hardwood kitchen cabinetry, solid surface counters, crown molding, and a kitchen/family room combination ideal for everyday living and entertaining.
A large waterfront bonus room with walk-in closet space and windows overlooking the canal provides versatile flex space with endless possibilities.
Major improvements include a new septic system, whole-house PVC plumbing, upgraded 200-amp electrical service, all new stainless steel appliances, and a brand-new AC (2025).
Outdoor features include a 10,000-lb boat lift, two docks, 100 feet of concrete seawall, two large storage sheds with ramps, and an extra-deep oversized garage with extensive workspace. The yard also includes a productive tropical garden with nine-plus dragon fruit trees and pineapple plants, adding a unique Florida touch.
The adjacent lot next door is also available for purchase under a separate seller and contract, creating a rare opportunity for additional privacy, expansion, or future development.
Conveniently located just minutes from the Sunseeker Resort, Charlotte Sports Park (Tampa Bay Rays Spring Training), and more than 10 area golf courses, the home is also close to downtown Punta Gorda dining, shopping, and waterfront events.
Located in the voluntary HOA community of Harbour Heights with no deed restrictions, no CDD, and no mandatory fees, residents enjoy neighborhood parks, a playground, boat ramp access nearby, and convenient access to I-75, Punta Gorda, and Charlotte Harbor.
