24612 Buckingham Way, Punta Gorda, FL, 33980

GORGEOUS ASHTON floor plan with 2 1/2 car garage - large lanai - water/fountain/golf course view in the gated active resort of Kings Gate, a 55+ community that is NOT in a flood zone and DOES NOT require flood insurance. Great curb appeal as you approach this house - step inside and you'll briefly notice the spacious living room before your eyes are first drawn skyward towards the 12 foot high sprawling ceilings (providing a bright-airy open feel) and then out to that mammoth lanai with SENSATIONAL view of fountain/pond and the always adventurous 13th hole on the other side of the pond. Nicely updated TURNKEY home (golf cart/generator negotiable) with 2022 roof, 2019 AC, plantation shutters, corian counters - updated appliances - pull outs in cabinets and a tiled lanai floor. Large kitchen with island provides plenty of counter and cabinet space for even the most demanding of chefs connects nicely to living room - dining room - lanai. Guest bedroom is in front left of home with master bedroom in back left of home (separated by den) providing tremendous privacy for both you and your guests. The den features pocket doors allowing you to use room as a 3rd bedroom, a 2nd TV room, office or craft room - whatever fits your lifestyle. No insurance claims here - will help you get a better rate. In addition to the golf cart parking in the garage there is also built out storage solutions. The Ashton floor plan and this home in particular offers several locations for entertainment and/or relaxation - but no question you're going to love the sight and sounds of the fountain on the pond as you enjoy a gentle breeze with your morning coffee or favorite after dinner drink. And if you haven't been to Kings Gate before - you're going to love the options for activity (Olympic size heated swimming pool and spa, tennis courts, pickle ball, lawn bowling, shuffle board, bocce, horseshoes, gym, billiards, library, euchre, bingo, bridge, Texas hold em, poker, mahjong and more). The onsite AND NEWLY REMODELED Lions Den restaurant and bar is super convenient and also offers Tuesday night Karaoke and monthly trivia contests. Many residents love the fact that they are just a golf cart ride away from the shopping plaza that provides you access to grocery store (ALDI), drug store, bank, restaurants and shopping. Want to explore outside of Kings Gate – you are minutes away from the restaurants and shops of downtown Punta Gorda and Fisherman's village. And if you want to explore more of Florida's fun spots you’re near I75 to quickly head north or south. An AWESOME home with extra garage space - a large lanai and a fountain/pond/golf view in a PREMIER gated community needs to be experienced. Call today for a private showing and a golf cart tour of the community/amenities.
