Where else in Southwest Florida can you find a two-bedroom, two-bathroom furnished villa on canal front for under $260,000? It’s here in Gulf Cove Point, a maintenance-free community. The most prized feature of villa #153 is its location to the rear of the subdivision, which has no through traffic. Its freshwater canal frontage makes it even more desirable. Out of 92 villas, only 20 are located on the canal, and only 5 have docks. These villas rarely come on the market. Enjoy mornings on the dock while sipping your latté. At dusk, you have a front-row seat for the nightly sunset. If you like dining al fresco you are going to love the additional electrical outlets and posh flood lights on the front patio. Do you like boating or fishing? You are in for a big treat! This real estate has an electric, 4-post cradle lift with a 4500-pound boat weight capacity. The sellers built a cement walkway to the staircase which leads to a wooden dock and the lift. The waterway is navigable and leads to the South Gulf Cove boat lock. Bridge clearance along the canal is 10 feet most of the way, with only two of the bridges at lower clearance (5 feet and 6-7 feet.) It’s a slow wake 45-minute excursion from the villa to the South Gulf Cove boat lock which leads you to the Myakka River. From the river, you can boat to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico. Villa 153 has had many improvements: new luxury waterproof vinyl plank flooring in the bedrooms, ceramic tile in the common areas, kitchen cabinet makeovers, updated pantry closet, new overhead and undermount lights, bigger baseboards, window treatments, coastal furnishings that are only a handful of years used, new GFCI outlets in the kitchen and guest bathroom, new microwave, new commodes. Amenities abound in the area: pickleball courts at Tringali Park (4 miles), an eight-mile biking trail at Cape Haze Pioneer Park (1 mile), a heated lap pool, ball courts, and fitness center at Ann Dever Regional Park (6 miles), eight nearby fishing piers, eight nearby boat ramps, and fourteen kayak launches nearby. Indeed, Charlotte County is a blueway haven! Publix (grocer) and Home Depot are less than one mile from the villa. All you have to do is fly into one of three nearby airports, unlock the door and start living life in Southwest Florida.
