No bridges. No pool to babysit. Just open water. 163 Maria Court is a fully remodeled (2025) 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath Punta Gorda Isles waterfront home with true 5 minute sailboat access to Charlotte Harbor then the Gulf. Out back: 80 ft of concrete seawall, a 45 ft concrete dock and a 10,000 lb boat lift, plus a covered paver lanai with a hot tub facing the water. Inside, the open split-bedroom plan puts water views in the great room, family room, kitchen, dining room and primary suite. The new kitchen features white shaker cabinets, granite counters, subway tile backsplash, stainless appliances and an island convection range, with Pergo Defense flooring throughout, an inside laundry room, mud room and three full baths with a 5 piece master bath. Storm-ready with whole-home ballistic-nylon hurricane shutters, 2022 roof and hurricane-rated doors. The oversized 754sf 2-car garage is remodeled with epoxy floors, steel cabinets, and has room for a boat or jetski. No HOA, in PGI Section 1, minutes by land or water from downtown Punta Gorda, Fishermen's Village and the Isles Yacht Club. Bring the boat. The hard work is done.
