7196 N Plum Tree, Apt 321 $180,000

Choosing the right condominium is about more than bedrooms and bathrooms. It's about finding a home that feels comfortable from the moment you walk in. This second-floor end-unit in Burnt Store Meadows offers the advantages buyers often hope to find but rarely discover together: abundant natural light, vaulted ceilings, a tree-lined lanai view, top-floor living with no neighbors above, and the quiet atmosphere of a building with just 12 residences. Inside, the 1,457-square-foot floor plan features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open living and dining area, and additional windows that brighten both the kitchen and living room throughout the day. The kitchen includes granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and a breakfast nook overlooking the trees. The screened lanai with eastern exposure provides a comfortable place to begin each day while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet, dual sinks, and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, a home office, or hobbies. Fresh interior paint, impact windows and a new water heater provide added value for the next owner. Residents enjoy assigned parking, a community pool, and the convenience of a deed-restricted community where the HOA includes water, sewer, exterior maintenance, exterior pest control, professional management, and reserves, creating a more carefree lifestyle. Located just minutes from US-41, I-75, shopping, restaurants, golf, downtown Punta Gorda, and Fishermen's Village, this home combines everyday convenience with a peaceful residential setting. For buyers comparing multiple condominiums, this home stands out for the qualities that are difficult to add later: more natural light, greater privacy, no upstairs neighbors, the welcoming feel of a smaller community, and the value of a well-managed, low-maintenance lifestyle.
