There is a special kind of magic when you enter a home, and your eyes are immediately drawn to a shimmering pool and a water view beyond. This is precisely what awaits at 1030 Via Formia, Punta Gorda (33950), located in Punta Gorda Isles — one of Southwest Florida’s most coveted boating communities.

This three-bedroom, two-bath residence offers more than 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space — and it comes ready to live in from day one. No remodel, no punch list. Just pack your bags, fuel the boat and begin your Florida life.

For boating enthusiasts, the location is extraordinary. This home sits along a canal with fast access to Charlotte Harbor — an expansive 270-square-mile waterway celebrated among sailors, anglers and powerboaters alike. From Charlotte Harbor, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico are just minutes beyond, opening up an entire world of cruising, fishing and adventure. The property is equipped with city-maintained seawalls, a concrete dock and a 10,000-pound boatlift — infrastructure that will please the most serious boater. Simply dock the boat and go.

Step inside to a stunning great room with an accent wall and a dry bar entertaining space that will draw delighted reactions from guests. Sliders in the great room lead to the outdoor living space: a large, screened lanai with a pool with both covered and sun areas.

The kitchen features wood cabinetry and a suite of high-end appliances: a Bosch cooktop and wall oven, a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, and a Sharp microwave drawer. It is a kitchen designed for those who cook seriously and entertain often — imagine preparing the seafood you’ve caught off your dock or boat for dinner.

The bathrooms have received the same care, with thoughtful touches including updated light fixtures, carefully chosen design details, wood cabinets and beautiful counters.

Whether you envision mornings fishing from your own dock, lazy afternoons by the pool, or evening sunset cruises, this home — listed at $749,900 — is ready to make it all real. The only thing missing is you.
