Experience the difference of an end-unit surrounded by WATER VIEWS, plus a LARGE STORAGE ROOM (242 sf) off of the garage--a rare find, as commonly only two garages in each building have this storage area. The easy in-and-out lengthy garage has a de-humidifier. Not all Vivante garages are the same size--this one is 30.5' deep and has perhaps the easiest drive-in experience in the building.
The waterfront lanai has a dining area and sitting area. Step indoors to find 1915 sf of tastefully furnished space where most furniture and furnishings are included, ensuring a seamless move-in experience. The split floor plan allows privacy for the two guest bedrooms.
This gem was one of the rare units that did not sustain damage from Hurricane Ian. The building has a new metal roof. The assessment has been paid by the Seller. The washer, dryer, dishwasher, and garbage disposal are also new. A home warranty is included. Safety is prioritized with safety bars installed in the bathrooms. The ensuite bathroom has dual vanities and a tub and walk-in shower.
Building 96 is close to the clubhouse and tennis courts for convenience, yet not right next to them for serenity. The clubhouse has a fitness center, and both a lap pool and swimming pool serviced by a geo-thermal well—an eco-friendly touch that keeps costs down while maintaining optimal temperatures. Join a vibrant community where the friendly and active owners of building 96 owners gather monthly at the cabana, and also take advantage of Vivante's social and recreational activities. This gated community is located in a prime location overlooking the Charlotte Harbor yet is so close to lively downtown Punta Gorda, Fisherman's Village pier, and the 2.5 mile harbor walk. As an owner in Punta Gorda Isles, the option is yours to join the PGI Civic Association along with its plethora of social and recreational clubs.
This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle waiting for you to embrace.
