Description of 197 TROPICANA DRIVE # 1511, PUNTA GORDA, FL 33950

MOVE-IN READY, 1ST FLOOR TARPON COVE CONDO W/2-CAR GARAGE & POND VIEW - This 3 bed/2 bath, end-unit Cayo Costa model at Tarpon Cove delivers 2,022 sq ft of living space on the ground floor, complete with a private 2-car garage, pond views, and a long list of improvements that make this one of the most move-in ready units in the community. The western rear exposure means colorful sunsets over the water every evening. Tarpon Cove is a well-maintained condominium complex in the heart of Punta Gorda Isles. The community features lush tropical landscaping, brick paver driveways, a heated pool and in-ground spa, a clubhouse with fitness equipment, and new barrel tile roofs installed in 2023. Inside, the designer's touch is evident throughout. Ten-foot ceilings, 5-inch crown molding, 5-inch baseboards, and fluted 8-foot door frames set a polished architectural foundation. New lighting fixtures and ceiling fans, fresh interior paint, high-end carpet in the bedrooms, and plantation shutters on every window layer in the updates that make this unit feel genuinely move-in ready. Wood-look flooring runs through the main living areas. The great room opens through 8-foot sliding glass doors to the 17x10 enclosed Florida room, which functions as a natural extension of the living space. Hurricane-rated glass panels provide full protection while roll-down privacy shades give you control over light and sightlines. The view from here, a landscaped pond with a water feature framed by mature palms and other tropical plantings, is the kind that catches your eye even after you've seen it a thousand times. The formal dining area is defined by a tray ceiling and a statement pendant light. The kitchen offers granite counters, white cabinetry, newer appliances, and recessed lighting with woven pendant fixtures adding warmth overhead. There's ample cabinet and counter space. The master suite is a true owner's retreat, with a custom California-style walk-in closet featuring drawers, cabinets, hanging storage, and shoe storage built in. The en-suite bath has dual sinks on a granite vanity, a soaking tub, and a glass block walk-in shower. The third bedroom, accessed through French doors, works equally well as a home office or guest room and is currently set up as a bedroom. The split bedroom layout provides privacy throughout. Storage is a genuine strength here. A dedicated interior room off the foyer functions as a craft space/storage room, outfitted with custom upper and lower cabinetry and a marble-look countertop. The separate 8x9 laundry room has floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry on two walls plus a walk-in storage closet. You will not run out of places to put things. Additional updates include all new hurricane-rated impact windows (2018), new A/C system (2023), new hot water heater (2025), newer appliances (2018), washer and dryer (2019), and updated bathroom plumbing fixtures and lighting. Furniture is negotiable. Punta Gorda is known for its boating lifestyle, but the art scene, weekend festivals, waterfront dining, and walkable downtown make it one of the most livable small cities in Florida. Make an appointment today and discover your place in paradise.
