Virtually Staged. A wonderful opportunity awaits in this bright & cheery lakefront pool home in Courtside Landings, one of Burnt Store Marina's most sought-after neighborhoods. Courtside is situated in the heart of the gated community of Burnt Store Marina and is steps away from the fitness center, which boasts a vibrant tennis and pickleball scene. You are also steps from SW Florida's largest deep-water marina (home of Freedom Boat Club), and a short bike or golf cart ride to waterfront dining and the golf course. This waterfront charmer is framed by lush palms and a tropical landscape, and boasts a covered front porch with white rails to welcome you home. From the moment the front door opens, you will be drawn inside by the fabulous open plan with pleasing views of the sparkling pool and lake beyond. This expanded Everett floorplan features a wonderful disappearing wall of sliding glass doors that not only flood the space with natural light but seamlessly connect the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Volume ceilings are complimented by neutral tones and tile floors through the main living area. The bright and practical open kitchen dons crisp white raised panel cabinetry with generous solid surface counter tops, an inviting breakfast bar, pantry closet and a sunny dining nook with sliding doors to the side courtyard. The cook will truly feel like they died and went to heaven when whipping up their favorite meal while enjoying tropical breezes and cheery Florida sunshine. You are sure to exhale when you enter the spacious primary suite, which boasts picturesque lake views. The en-suite bath is bathed in natural light and offers a vanity with dual sinks, soaking tub, separate stall shower and private commode. A linen closet and walk-in closet provide ample storage. On the other side of the home, an inviting guest bedroom and guest bath enjoy privacy, while in between is a flex room that works well as a den, home office, hobby room or extra sleeping space. Outdoors is where this home shines. The dramatic picture window screen enclosure beautifully showcases the scenic lake that is home to Florida wildlife. The sparkling pool with a swim up table will no doubt be your favorite spot to indulge yourself in the afternoons. The ample covered seating area will be a great place to catch up with friends or lounge with a great book. Whether it's morning coffee, an afternoon swim or a sunset over the lake, this is Southwest Florida living at its best. An attached two-car garage has room for two vehicles, or a golf cart and storage. Finishing off the space, a separate utility room with extra cabinets adds everyday convenience. When not enjoying your piece of paradise, it's an easy drive to downtown Punta Gorda, Cape Coral and Punta Gorda Airport.
