Port Charlotte Retreat with Heated Swimming Pool.

The tall cathedral ceiling in the sunken living room and the addition of ceiling fans in all the rooms adds to our home's open and airy feeling. You'll love the large saltwater swimming pool which is heated by heat pump set on 88° in the winter. You'll enjoy the private 1/2 acre double lot with many shade trees and natural Florida landscaping, corn hole set, and ornamental goldfish pond. Located on a quiet residential street, the home is centrally located to all that the area has to offer.

The updated bedrooms have new paint, flooring, furnishings, bedding etc. The master bedroom has its own ensuite private bath with a walk-in shower. Master has a brand new king size mattress (Nectar memory foam) and new bedding. All bedrooms have 32″ led TVs with networks and Roku's for streaming. Bedroom 2 is set up with a queen size bed. Bedroom 3 has a double bed and is tastefully decorated with artwork of our talented 23-year-old daughter. Wi-Fi and internet service are provided throughout the home.

The house bath with tub lies between the two smaller bedrooms which are on the other side of the home from the master.

The living room has comfortable seating for you and your guests with a reclining couch and and chairs and a 58″ Roku tv. The family room off the kitchen along with the seating and stereo is equipped with a desktop computer (free internet and wifi service) and desk. This room faces onto the large covered lanai and pool area. Sit poolside on the covered lanai and enjoy meals, play cards or games, and of course enjoy the large warm heated saltwater swimming pool.

Back inside, the galley kitchen has everything you’ll need to be able to prepare meals (see amenities list). You can enjoy your meal at dining tables inside and/or out on the lanai where you'll also find a Kitchen Aide propane gas barbeque grill.

Home sits on two private lots so plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors under large oak shade trees and an ornamental pond. Home is very handy to all restaurants, shopping, post office, grocery stores, liquor store, and to Charlotte Harbor and Punta Gorda where there’s always something happening and to do




WINTER NOTES:
The daily outside temperature in Port Charlotte during the winter runs anywhere from the mid-50s on a cold day to the high 70s and even 80s on a warm day. This is the beauty of Florida.

ABOUT THE POOL: The pool is heated by a heat pump. In the winter, even though Port Charlotte is pretty far south, we can be in the 40s and 50s at night with a rare frost warning. The heat pump is only capable of raising the temp about a degree an hour throughout the day. So it's necessary to keep the temp from dropping too many degrees overnight with a solar blanket that is a plastic bubble sheet that covers and floats on the pool surface. It is lightweight and rolls up on a reel with a handle to place it on and off of the pool with little effort- but really needs 2 people to pitch in. The pool must be covered at night when it's cold or even during the day if it's a really cold day. So there is a little bit of effort that tenants must do if they want the water to stay warm. We do set the thermostat to 88 degrees and the pump can only maintain that if you continue to cover it nightly. Make the effort and it stays warm.
