Prepare to be captivated by this exceptional custom waterfront estate with sailboat access to Charlotte Harbor! This 3-bedroom plus den, 3-bathroom, 3-car garage home, built by the renowned Arthur Rutenberg, offers unparalleled deep-water sailboat access and is located in Punta Gorda Isles. Every detail exudes sophistication, from its meticulous finishes to the tasteful décor, and it's being offered fully furnished (ask for exclusion list) for a seamless move-in. Notable features include a whole-house generator, impact-resistant windows, 1,000-gallon propane tank, a 75-year concrete tile roof, smart home automation, remote shades, a security system, and a $30,000 sound system.

Built in 2019 with 2,713 sq. ft. of living space, the home was enhanced in 2024 with upgrades like landscape lighting, tiled flooring in all bedrooms, custom millwork, and plantation shutters. The kitchen features custom molding, and the lanai has been upgraded with wood ceilings, new lighting, and fans. To add a touch of refinement, all switches and outlets have been upgraded with decorum plates and USB charging ports. Upon entering through grand 8-foot double ThermaTru doors, you’re greeted by a stunning marble nautical star inlay in the foyer. The open-concept layout features a Great Room with 12-foot coffered ceilings and a seamless flow into the gourmet kitchen, which showcases GE Monogram appliances, a stainless-steel induction cooktop, custom cabinetry, Alaska White granite countertops, a hidden pantry, and a wine fridge.

The private master suite features 12-foot tray ceilings, direct access to the lanai, and a spa-inspired bath with a Kohler hydrotherapy tub, a luxurious shower with a bench, and separate vanities leading to an oversized custom closet. Guests will enjoy privacy in the en suite guest bedroom at the front of the home, while a short hallway leads to the laundry room with top-of-the-line LG Signature washer and dryer. The three-car garage features overhead storage, insulated Clopay doors, and epoxy flooring. The home’s comfort is enhanced by a high-efficiency Carrier 16 SEER AC unit and spray foam insulation.
