857 BAL HARBOR BLVD Punta Gorda, FL 33950

Welcome to 857 Bal Harbor Boulevard, where spectacular long canal views, exceptional boating access, and a fully furnished waterfront residence combine to deliver the Punta Gorda Isles lifestyle buyers dream about. Perfectly positioned on one of the community's most desirable canals, this is more than just a home—it's an invitation to begin enjoying Southwest Florida from the moment you arrive.
From the curb, the home's striking architecture, beautifully updated exterior, and impressive presence immediately capture your attention. Step inside to discover an inviting residence filled with natural light, generous living spaces, and tasteful furnishings that allow you to move right in and start enjoying waterfront living immediately.

The spacious split-bedroom floor plan features three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, a formal dining room, expansive Great Room, comfortable Family Room, and a well-appointed kitchen with white cabinetry, solid surface countertops, stainless steel appliances, and casual dining overlooking the pool and water. Whether entertaining guests for the weekend or enjoying quiet evenings at home, the layout offers both privacy and effortless flow.

For boating enthusiasts, this property checks every box. With approximately 80 feet of city-maintained concrete seawall, a concrete dock, and a 9,000-pound boat lift installed in 2023, you'll spend less time preparing and more time on the water. Enjoy quick, direct boating access through the canals to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf with no long idle rides standing between you and your next adventure. Cruise to waterfront restaurants, spend the afternoon fishing some of Southwest Florida's most productive waters, explore nearby barrier islands, or simply enjoy an evening sunset cruise whenever the mood strikes. This is the kind of boating access serious boaters search for and rarely find.

Life outside is equally impressive. The screened lanai, sparkling pool, and expansive waterfront setting create the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, afternoon entertaining, or relaxing evenings watching boats quietly pass by. Long canal views provide an ever-changing waterfront panorama, while the peaceful setting delivers the true Florida lifestyle so many buyers envision. Major improvements have already been completed, including hurricane-impact windows and doors in 2021 and a new pool cage and screens in 2022, offering peace of mind for years to come. Located just minutes from Fishermen's Village, you'll enjoy waterfront dining at The Captain's Table, fresh seafood at Laishley Crab House, and casual evenings at Harpoon Harry's. Historic downtown Punta Gorda offers charming boutiques, local coffee shops, weekly farmers markets, live entertainment, and year-round festivals, while nearby Publix makes everyday errands effortless. Travel is equally convenient with Punta Gorda Airport nearby, while U.S. 41 and Interstate 75 provide quick access throughout Southwest Florida.
Some waterfront homes offer views. Others offer boating. Very few deliver both at this level. With panoramic long canal views, outstanding boating infrastructure, direct access to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf, quality exterior improvements, and the added value of being offered fully furnished, 857 Bal Harbor Boulevard presents a rare opportunity to begin living the Florida waterfront lifestyle from day one.
