Own a piece of Punta Gorda history in one of the city's most desirable walkable locations. Originally built in 1883 and known as the “Dusk to Dawn House,” this historic bungalow is located in the Punta Gorda Historic District just moments from Gilchrist Park, Charlotte Harbor, Fishermen's Village, downtown restaurants, shops, waterfront parks, and local events. Following the 2024 storms, this property is ready for a full restoration and offers a blank canvas for someone with vision. Major systems and finishes will need to be addressed, including electrical, A/C equipment, water heater, appliances, and interior improvements. Plumbing is operational, and ductwork for central A/C is already in place, giving the next owner a starting point for renovation. Historic character remains throughout, including a decorative non-functional fireplace, screened front porch, and charming bungalow architecture. The upstairs has been converted into a bedroom with a full bathroom. The private tropical backyard includes a covered wooden cabana/deck area, offering a shaded outdoor space. The true value is the combination of history, character, and location. Whether restored as a charming residence, seasonal retreat, or downtown Punta Gorda project, this property offers a unique opportunity to reimagine a piece of local history within walking distance to the Harbor, parks, dining, shopping, and Fishermen's Village.
