About this home

Some homes make an impression with their scale. This one draws you in with its warmth. Through solid Honduran mahogany doors, natural light falls across travertine floors, rich wood tones soften the generous living spaces, and the eye travels through glass doors to the canal beyond. At 1117 San Mateo Dr in Punta Gorda Isles, exquisite materials and architectural detail create a deeply personal expression of luxury, as inviting for an evening with friends as it is for the simple rhythms of home. Set on more than .60 acres with 84 feet of sailboat waterfront, the residence offers 5,310 heated sqft, 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, including a private In-Law suite. Vaulted and custom tray ceilings give the rooms a graceful sense of scale, while substantial moldings, solid wood doors, faux painted walls and softly textured Venetian plaster finishes reward a closer look. The living room features a coral stone fireplace bringing warmth and character to a space made for lingering. The family room frames a long canal vista, keeping the water present throughout the day. Quartzite countertops, handcrafted Zellige tile and GE Monogram appliances give the kitchen its own quiet distinction, complemented by a wine cooler, Bosch dishwasher and Fisher & Paykel dish drawer. Adjacent, is an aquarium window wrapping the breakfast nook in views of the lanai, creating a lovely place for morning coffee before the house comes to life. Guests can drift from conversation by the fireplace to dinner beneath the approximately 1,500 sqft of covered and screened loggia, where a summer kitchen with granite countertops and a Kokomo grill makes cooking part of the occasion. There is room for a beautifully set table, an unhurried meal, and another hour together captivated by those spectacular Florida sunsets. The open air pool, shallow sun shelf & propane heated spa lend the setting the ease of a private resort, w/ the canal just beyond. A concrete dock w/water and lighting offers direct access onto Charlotte Harbor without fixed bridges. The primary suite carries that same sense of ease into a more private setting. Double doors open to the lanai, while Calacatta gold marble, Hansgrohe fixtures, a soaking tub & rain shower heads bring a rich, tactile beauty to the bath. Mannington Brazilian cherry wood floors and thoughtfully chosen window treatments soften the bedrooms, & California Closets systems provide carefully considered storage. Spacious guest accommodations include an ensuite bedroom and a Jack and Jill bath arrangement. A separate office w/ a walk in closet offers the possibility of an additional bedroom. Across the covered lanai, the ~800sqft guest house feels like a getaway of its own. Overlooking the pool, it includes a private entrance, bedroom, bath, kitchen & laundry, allowing guests/extended family to settle in comfortably while remaining close to the heart of the home. Rebuilt in 2006 from the slab & three remaining walls, the home was thoughtfully refreshed in 2021. Impact glass, hurricane shutters & a generous garage storage room reflect the same care given to everyday comfort & practicality. Located near historic downtown Punta Gorda and the waterfront shops and restaurants of Fishermen’s Village, this home places boating, dining and afternoons exploring the town within easy reach. It is refined Florida living with a welcoming spirit, a home as suited to memorable gatherings as to the quieter moments that make it your own. See attached Refinements Sheet.
