Lakefront, furnished turnkey, and no carpet. This updated 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath Lake Rio townhome in Punta Gorda sits right on the water, with lake views from two private outdoor spaces, and is ready the day you arrive. Start your mornings with coffee on the private upstairs balcony overlooking the lake, and end the day on the extended screened lanai watching the wildlife along the water. The bright, open main level features tile and luxury vinyl plank throughout plus a half bath for guests, while upstairs you'll find two bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with its own bath. Furnishings convey with a short list of exclusions, and accordion hurricane shutters are already in place. The community pool is just steps away overlooking the lake, and the quarterly association fee covers water, sewer, grounds, pest control, professional management and the pool, keeping ownership costs predictable. Fee-simple ownership. Shopping, dining and banking are close by; Deep Creek Golf Club is minutes away, I-75 is about two miles, and historic downtown Punta Gorda, Fishermen's Village, Gulf beaches and Punta Gorda Airport are an easy drive. Pets welcome with association approval. An existing flood insurance policy may be assignable, subject to carrier approval. Seasonal escape or year-round home, this is easy Florida living at a price that makes sense.
