Property Description

Step into the Punta Gorda lifestyle at 617 W Olympia Avenue, a beautifully renewed 1950s home in the heart of Punta Gorda’s treasured Historic District, just three blocks from Gilchrist Park and Charlotte Harbor. Surrounded by mature tropical landscaping, this sparkling, move-in-ready home captures the character that makes historic Punta Gorda such a special place to live. Shell accents, a red-brick walkway and patio, established gardens and classic Florida architecture create a private, park-like setting that feels worlds away, yet downtown is right outside your door. Inside, approximately 1,250 square feet of living area blends original character with thoughtful updates. Terrazzo flooring meets extensive travertine tile, six-inch baseboards, crown molding and plantation shutters. The renovated kitchen features granite countertops, new soft-close cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, while decorative and frosted glass doors bring additional character and natural light. The home offers two bedrooms, two beautifully updated baths and multiple living spaces, including a spacious family room opening through sliding glass doors to the outdoor living areas. Adding exceptional versatility is the attached approximately 11’7” x 22’6” finished garage/flex area, complete with tile flooring, air-conditioning vents, ceiling fan and window. Not included in the stated living area, this approximately 260-square-foot space offers exciting possibilities for an office, fitness room, studio, hobby space or potential third-bedroom configuration. One option could create an approximately 11’ x 17’ flex room while retaining approximately 11’ x 5’ of garage-accessible storage. Outside, this home truly embraces Florida living. A wooden pergola, red-brick patio, built-in seating, outdoor shower, gardening station, shell-covered backyard and lush tropical landscaping create your own private retreat. There’s even additional fenced parking for a boat, small RV or extra vehicles. A metal roof, electric hurricane shutters, rain gutters and low-maintenance landscaping add everyday convenience. And then there’s the reason people fall in love with living here. Walk three blocks to Gilchrist Park and Charlotte Harbor for a sunset, bike along the waterfront, head downtown for dinner, or simply come home and disappear into your own tropical garden. 617 W Olympia isn’t trying to recreate the charm of Old Florida. It’s part of it. A distinctive Punta Gorda home where terrazzo floors, tropical gardens and mid-century character meet the comfort and flexibility of today. You will love living here!
