I just listed a standout waterfront home in Port Charlotte, and this one is built for the Florida lifestyle from day one.
14500 Ponce De Leon Trail is a 2021-built canal-front home offered at $849,000, and it checks the boxes that serious buyers are looking for right now. Deep water access, no bridges, newer construction, and a clean, well-designed layout that actually makes sense.
This property sits on a canal with direct access to Charlotte Harbor, with roughly 2.5 miles out to open water via the Myakka and Peace Rivers. If you’re a boater, especially with a sailboat, you already know how rare it is to find no bridge access in this price point.
Inside, you’ve got 2,647 square feet under air with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a den that can easily function as a home office or even a fourth bedroom if needed. The split floor plan gives privacy where it matters, and the main living space is open, bright, and positioned to take full advantage of the water views.
From the moment you walk in, the canal is front and center. The family room features high tray ceilings, brand new laminate flooring, and large impact-resistant sliders that open up to the screened lanai. It’s the kind of setup that makes indoor-outdoor living feel natural, not forced.
The kitchen is right where it should be, at the center of everything. You’ve got a large granite island, stainless steel appliances, a double oven and microwave, and plenty of cabinetry. It flows into both a formal dining area and a more casual dinette space, making it functional whether you’re entertaining or just going about your day.
One thing I always point out on homes like this is peace of mind. This one was built with impact windows and doors throughout, sits on an elevated, oversized lot, and has a berm behind the property. Both the home and the community have stayed dry through recent storms, which is something buyers are paying very close attention to right now.
Another feature you don’t see often is the 3-car air-conditioned garage. It also has attic stairs and a fully floored attic space, so storage is not an issue here.
The community itself is gated, well-kept, and manageable in size with just 165 homes. The HOA is low and covers lawn care, landscaping, and gate access, which keeps things simple.
Out back is where this home really delivers. The screened and pavered lanai overlooks the canal, giving you a private, quiet space to relax or entertain. And with no bridges, you can be out to Charlotte Harbor in minutes and easily access Punta Gorda, the Intracoastal Waterway, Boca Grande, Cabbage Key, and beyond.
Location-wise, you’re right in the Port Charlotte and Englewood area, close to Gulf beaches, Wellen Park, spring training facilities, Dearborn Street, golf courses, shopping, dining, and with quick access to I-75.
This is a fast-growing area that still holds onto that small-town feel, which is exactly why more people are moving here.
If you’re looking for a newer waterfront home with real boating access and solid construction, this is one to see.
