$599,000 - 196 Tarpon Cove Boulevard 722, PUNTA GORDA

Why settle for a single-family home's upkeep when you can have the space without the drudgery? This 2,800 sq ft condo in Punta Gorda Isles' exclusive Tarpon Cove lives bigger than most houses — and looks better too. Two primary suites anchor opposite ends of the home for ultimate privacy, each bright, spacious, and en-suite. A third bedroom flexes as a den or office. The great room stuns with a wall of plantation-shuttered windows and sliders opening to a huge enclosed patio overlooking a tranquil pond. The kitchen brings acres of granite, abundant cabinetry, and gourmet appliances — built for real cooking, not just show. Formal dining room. Private second-floor entry with your own interior elevator. Two-car garage. Impact windows and dual-zone AC for peace of mind. An outdoor kitchen on the lanai for evenings under the stars. Just over a mile to Ponce de Leon Park, the beach, and downtown Punta Gorda's restaurants and shops. There’s no better spot to enjoy the charms of this SW Florida town.
