Located in the established community of Gulf Cove, this pool home is positioned on an oversized corner lot near the canal, offering a sense of openness, privacy, and flexibility with no mandatory HOA. Its unique setting provides wide spacing between neighboring homes and a peaceful backdrop without the responsibilities of a waterfront lot. Inside, vaulted ceilings and an open-concept layout create a bright, airy atmosphere. Wide-plank flooring extends throughout the main living areas, complementing the coastal color palette and natural light that fills the space. The living and dining areas flow seamlessly, making the home comfortable for daily living and well suited for entertaining. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home and features generous cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar that opens to the main living area. Sliding glass doors lead to the covered lanai, creating an easy transition to outdoor living. The primary suite offers a comfortable retreat with ample space and an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower. Guest bedrooms are arranged in a split floor plan, providing privacy and flexibility for visitors, family, or a home office. A convenient pool bath enhances functionality for outdoor entertaining. Outdoors, the backyard is designed for relaxed Florida living. The resurfaced pool is surrounded by a brick paver deck, mature palms, and tropical landscaping, while wrought-iron fencing adds privacy and definition. The expansive side yard is a standout feature, offering room for boat or RV storage, future expansion, or creative outdoor use. A matching shed provides additional storage or workshop potential. Residents of Gulf Cove have the option to join the voluntary homeowners association, which offers access to a community boat ramp, waterfront park, playground, and pavilion located nearby. This allows residents to enjoy boating and community amenities without a mandatory association or fees tied to the property. With a newer metal roof, impact windows, thoughtful updates, and a rare oversized corner-lot setting, this home offers a versatile option for full-time living, a seasonal retreat, or long-term ownership in a well-established Port Charlotte community. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
