Prime Location in Historic District with 2.5 garage and mother-in law suite! Nestled in the heart of Punta Gorda with views of the Gilchrist Park, big water and incredible sunset, this house is located on one of the few remaining brick streets in the Historic District. Step into timeless charm with this beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated two-story, Craftsman-inspired gem. This updated yet truly historic two-story home was built by the Wotitzky family & completely updated/renovated in 2015/2016 (old records can be found in Arcadia - the current tax records list 1921 as the year built because Charlotte County was not established until then). The property as it stands today is a perfect blend of modern comfort and classic charm with its picturesque curb appeal & ideal location. Less than one block from Gilchrist Park and just a few blocks to several local restaurants or Fishermen's Village, you'll love the convenience of this prime location. The wraparound porch exudes southern charm. The first floor of the main house has a large, formal living room, updated kitchen, half bath, bonus area/reading nook & airy foyer for the side entrance. Three brick fireplaces can be found inside - one in the living room, a corner one in the kitchen & a corner one in the master suite. Natural light floods the home w/lots of large windows in each room. All new wood-look, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the first floor. The kitchen has new, two-color cabinetry w/navy lower & antique white upper cabinets
plus a large, farmhouse sink & stunning copper hood. The kitchen ceiling boasts ceiling tiles that add interest and old-world charm to this lovely space. The upstairs offers 2 bedrooms & an updated bath. Master bedroom has gorgeous wood floors, a walk-in closet & access to the attic storage area. The full bath has tons of rustic charm w/modern updates including a beautiful clawfoot tub, dual sinks, & a glass-enclosed shower w/multiple shower heads. Guest bedroom shares the same wood flooring as the master bedroom. A private in-law/guest suite w/separate entrance is located out back. It offers a living area w/room for a kitchenette, a private bedroom & a full bathroom (under construction). Remodel for the guest suite is incomplete leaving the bathroom & kitchenette area in need of completion. Finish the space off to your specifications - picking the style & feel of the final aesthetic.
