An updated and well-maintained canal-front pool home with Gulf access in beautiful Punta Gorda Isles is move-in ready and waiting for you. This three-bedroom residence at 1131 Via Tripoli, Punta Gorda (33950), blends comfort, flexibility and the best of Florida’s outdoor lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice whole-house hurricane protection with accordion shutters, tropical landscaping, swaying palms and a welcoming fountain.

Step through the double doors to soaring ceilings, abundant natural light and an open-concept layout designed for easy living. The flexible floor plan offers space for a home office, reading nook or formal dining area. A private bedroom near the entry is perfect as a guest room, office, nursery or workout space.

The spacious primary suite features double walk-in closets and an en suite bath with dual vanities; large, tiled shower; linen closet; and private water closet. A comfortable guest bedroom and bath provide privacy for visitors, while a large laundry room with abundant storage sits just off the garage, which includes extra workspace.

The heart of the home is the great room flowing into the open kitchen and casual dining area — perfect for gathering and entertaining. The kitchen features quartz countertops, tile backsplash, stainless appliances, hardwood cabinets with soft-close doors and drawers, and a breakfast bar.

Step outside to the true showstopper: the screened lanai and waterfront oasis. Multiple sliders open to a covered seating area, expansive paver deck, and a heated saltwater pool and spa recently refreshed to sparkle like new. Beyond the lanai, enjoy boating from your 46-foot concrete dock with water and electricity, and a 10,000-pound boatlift. Reach open water in about 15 minutes.

Listed at $725,000m and located near golf, Fishermen’s Village, downtown dining, festivals and the Punta Gorda Airport, this is more than a home — it’s a waterfront lifestyle.
