179 Maria Court is a beautiful home, with 3526 square feet of living space, plenty of room to enjoy the company of your family and friends. This 4 bedroom, 3 bath home, with its pool and deep sailboat canal, is an integral part of the waterfront community of PGI (Punta Gorda Isles) and is just the most enjoyable home we've ever lived in. The afternoons fishing with our kids from our 80 foot dock, the kids canoeing up and down the canal, the annual Christmas-decorated boats with their holiday music turning around right in our back yard, watching the fireworks from the galleria, the short walks to the Yacht Club and Fisherman's Village, the downtown art festival, the delicious meals at the old Turtle Club restaurant... are experiences that we'll always be grateful to have had.
179 Maria court is just minutes to open water with direct sailboat access to Charlotte Harbor and to the Gulf of Mexico, unimpeded by bridges, making it possible to enjoy a peaceful day of fishing or visiting the barrier islands or sailing away to anywhere in the world.
This is a home to be enjoyed and to make many memories with your family. It offers a bright and open floor plan. The large great room features a beautiful and elegant Italian carved marble fireplace. The large master bedroom and en suite bathroom with his and hers sinks and the jetted tub will re-energize anyone after a days work or after a long day of fishing. The many hours of our kids splashing in the heated pool, which overlooks the canal, is one of my most precious memories. You will enjoy hours of heartwarming experiences just by reclining on the backyard dock spotting manatees, schools of fish, jelly fish, manta rays, and dolphins... swimming and splashing up and down the canal. Ponce de Leon Park, a 5 minute ride away, is also a special place... beautiful sunsets, the Wild Life Refuge, the pelicans flying by or dive bombing the water to capture their dinner...
179 Maria Court is close to all amenities: local beaches, dining, shopping, golf courses, the airport... making it an ideal property to enjoy the true Florida lifestyle. There's easy access to public parks with bike and walking trails, picnic areas, and boat ramps providing access to many waterways, such as Charlotte Harbor, the Peace and Myakka Rivers, and the Gulf of Mexico. Close-by there's historic downtown Punta Gorda with all its charming shops, Fishermen’s Village, the Visual Art Center, places to be visited over and over, places that never get old, places where you'll make many like-minded friends.
Like the other homes in PGI, our beautiful home sustained water damage from Hurricanes Milton and Helene, and we, too old to start over, are offering this home for sale "As Is". We pray that the new owner will be willing to take this unique opportunity to make 179 Maria Court their own. The hurricane damage is currently being repaired.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We are offering owner financing with a 35% down payment and below-market interest on the balance. Please call me. I'll be glad to discuss further details. Mariela
