There is an expression “Every picture tells a story,” and if a home could tell a story, this one could speak volumes. Located on almost a half-acre in one of Port Charlotte’s most sought after neighborhoods, this meticulously restored and lovingly maintained 5 bedroom, 3 bath home offers almost 4,000 ft. of living space and an inviting warmth second to none. Nestled amongst a canopy of giant oak trees and lush landscaping this Cape Cod style home has a welcoming curb appeal that entices you to experience one of the area’s most unique properties. An aged brick drive and walkway lead you to covered front porch, reminiscent of a bygone era and hinting of the architectural thought that went into the design. Upon entry you are captivated by old world style craftsmanship and the inspired country elegance that abounds throughout. Custom trim woodwork, rich oak hardwood flooring, soaring 23 foot and coffered ceilings, not to mention a claw foot bath tub are just some of the many breathtaking appointments that make this home so unique. Each room has its own special warmth and ambiance, with no two rooms exactly alike. To quote the sellers, “It’s like living in art.” The main floor is perfect for entertaining with each room offering a unique experience unto itself. Aside from the formal dining room, is a cozy media room, a living room with soaring ceilings and propane fireplace that opens through beautiful French doors to a Florida sitting room and the backdrop of a multi-tiered wood deck and backyard vistas beyond. The 5th bedroom is currently being used as a study, but is one of the most inviting rooms with its warm ambiance. The master bedroom offers a welcoming serenity of its own and opens to a large master bath with walk in shower and garden tub, a perfect way to relax at the end of the day. Your guests are sure to be impressed by a kitchen that exudes an old world charm while incorporating todays elements of granite counters, decorative glass backsplashes, 42 in. staggered honey color cabinetry and Samsung stainless steel appliances. Situated among the second floor guest suites is a “multi-purpose” room with sink and enough counter space for a small refrigerator or microwave, and perfect for a home office, crafts room or classroom for those who prefer to home school. Backyard barbeques and outdoor entertaining couldn’t be better with almost 55 ft. of decking and a propane line to hook up your grill. The spacious backyard is protected by a canopy of large oak trees and a well that feeds an irrigation system to keep your plants thriving year round. For the car enthusiast there is a separate 22ft. x 34 ft garage with 10 ft. ceilings, enough to store multiple vehicles and still have room for additional storage and a workshop. Truly a very special property with too many features to list that need to be viewed to fully appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail. One look and you’ll feel this is your opportunity to recapture that time in your life when everything revolved around that special place called “home.”
