2491 PALM TREE DRIVE, Punta Gorda, Charlotte, Residential

Some homes simply give you an address. This one gives you a lifestyle—and a story worth telling. From its circular driveway and distinctive architecture to the dramatic rooflines, rich woodwork and rooms that feel anything but ordinary, 2491 Palm Tree Drive is a waterfront home filled with character.

An extended three-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, boating gear, storage or a workshop. Start your morning in the chef’s kitchen, where generous counters, abundant cabinetry and an open connection to the main living area make cooking part of the conversation. Tucked away from the main gathering areas, the private library creates a quiet place to read, work or simply escape for a while.

The Florida room brings the pool and water views into your everyday life. A new mini-split system installed in 2026 allows this room to function as comfortable indoor living space or open-air entertaining space whenever the weather invites you outside. It also provides access to the second-floor deck located just outside the primary bedroom.

An easy-lift access hatch opens to this crow’s-nest-style retreat—a private spot for morning coffee, evening sunsets or enjoying the view from above. Beyond the Florida room, the screened pool area becomes your private place to unwind. The pool was resurfaced in 2025 and upgraded with a saltwater system, while the surrounding deck was replaced the same year.

From there, head to the water and enjoy direct boating access with no bridges between you and open water. Even better, the seawall is maintained by the City of Punta Gorda. Upstairs, the game room is full of personality, with warm wood finishes, architectural details and its own 2026 mini-split system.

It is ready for movie nights, games, hobbies or a retreat that feels completely separate from the rest of the home. Major improvements include a new metal roof, ductwork and attic insulation in 2026, along with a whole-house water softener and reverse-osmosis drinking water in the kitchen. Here, weekends can begin with coffee above the water, move to an afternoon in the pool and end with friends gathered in a home designed for living and entertaining.

Downtown Punta Gorda and Fishermen’s Village are nearby, along with convenient access to Punta Gorda Airport and I-75. Distinctive, inviting and connected to the water, this is Florida living with a personality all its own.
