As soon as you enter this 55+ boating community, past Surprise Lake & its fountain, you will feel at home. River Haven is a desirable, resident-owned (no land leases!) golf-cart friendly (& just plain friendly) community minutes from downtown Punta Gorda, & routes 41 and 75. There is plenty to do within the community thanks to a very active social club with nearly daily activities, games, pickleball, parties, dinners, breakfasts & even more in the popular, Charlotte Harbor-side town of Punta Gorda: festivals, concerts, farmer's markets, car shows, golf, boating, shopping, restaurants, famous Fisherman's Village, Military Heritage Museum, Botanical Gardens & more! This home offers a lot of value. The open floor plan of the living room, dining room and kitchen are perfect for entertaining and feature luxury vinyl plank flooring. The kitchen has an island with breakfast bar and extra storage underneath. The bedrooms are peacefully nestled in the rear and the primary bedroom has an ensuite bath. The sunny and spacious Florida Room is a great place to read, relax, play cards or perhaps enjoy coffee or an adult beverage! There is a shed and a carport. Within the community is a clubhouse with a library, commercial kitchen, billiards and an event (fun times!) room plus porch and waterside seating. There is a gorgeous, heated fully screened and caged pool for relaxing or exercising. The community has made thoughtful use of its waterfront, with a small marina, picnic area, park, dog park and nearby shuffleboard court. It is under 5 minutes to Publix, Home Depot, restaurants and services plus the Punta Gorda airport. The owners benefit from the stability of a no-leasing policy, so no transients. Are you ready to pack your suitcase and sunscreen? Because that is all you will need: this well-maintained home comes turn-key with a few exceptions! Why let everyone else enjoy the relaxed and fun lifestyle at River Haven? Why not you?
