Remarks:

Located on the Manchester Waterway in the waterfront area of Port Charlotte, this 3 bed/2 bath sailboat-access home offers a rare combination of privacy, 242 feet of seawall and sweeping, wraparound water views. With protected mangroves across the water, the setting delivers rare privacy, open sky, and a natural backdrop that feels worlds away creating the feeling of a private oasis. The extended water frontage and natural canal basin allows room to dock comfortably with a private dock and 9, 000 lb boat lift. Wide water views stretch in multiple directions, creating an ever-changing canvas of light, breeze, and reflection. Inside the home, vaulted ceilings and an open layout create a bright, comfortable living environment designed to connect with the outdoors. Tile flooring runs throughout the main living areas, and sliding glass doors frame views of the pool and water beyond. The kitchen features white cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a functional breakfast bar that opens naturally to the main living space. The Florida room is a highlight, wrapped in glass and positioned to capture panoramic water views. It offers flexible space for dining, relaxing, or enjoying quiet mornings overlooking the pool. The split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy for owners and guests alike. The primary suite enjoys water views and direct access to the lanai. One guest bedroom is currently configured as an artist’s studio and includes a Murphy bed that will remain with the home, creating adaptable space for guests, hobbies, or a home office. Outdoors is where this property truly distinguishes itself. The in-ground, solar-heated pool sits beneath open sky — no cage overhead — preserving uninterrupted views and extraordinary night-sky visibility. With preserve land across the waterway and limited surrounding light intrusion, constellations are strikingly visible, and the Big Dipper can often be seen clearly to the north. Screened lanai area has dining area and hot tub. The landscaping has been thoughtfully curated with Florida-native and pollinator-friendly plantings that support local wildlife and require minimal irrigation. Milkweed attracts butterflies along the garden pathways. Golden beach creeper, saw palmettos, date palms, and queen palms provide food and shelter for pollinators and birds. Blue herons and ibis are frequent visitors along the water’s edge, while grackles, mourning doves, and northern cardinals provide a natural soundtrack throughout the day. The soil has been stabilized for erosion resistance, and the landscape design eliminates chemical fertilizer runoff — reinforcing the home’s environmentally responsible footprint. Energy efficiency is another defining feature. A full solar system — including photovoltaic panels, solar hot water, and solar pool heat — produces more energy than the home consumes. A 2023 Trane XV20 A/C system, 80-gallon Rheem water heater (2024), and 50-amp EV outlet in the attached two-car garage support sustainable, forward-thinking living. With no HOA or deed restrictions, this property offers space, flexibility, and a setting that feels immersed in nature — yet remains convenient to shopping, dining, and daily essentials. Water, wildlife, open sky, and sustainable design come together here in a way that is increasingly difficult to find. Schedule an appointment today and experience the difference.
