About this home

Short Sale. Tucked away on over an acre and a half in the peaceful countryside of Arcadia, this fully furnished retreat is the kind of property people wait years to find. From the moment you arrive at 7597 SE Highway 31, you begin to realize this is not just another home on the market, but a lifestyle opportunity that offers space, privacy, personality, and comfort all in one. If you have been searching for a place where you can slow down without sacrificing style, you may have just found it. Inside, the warmth of real wood flooring flows throughout the entire home, creating a timeless feel that instantly makes you feel welcome. The open living design connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen in a way that naturally brings people together, whether you are entertaining friends, hosting family gatherings, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home. The kitchen was designed to impress, featuring granite countertops, trendy backsplash details, newer smart appliances, and a custom pop-up TV built directly into the countertop, adding a level of fun and convenience you rarely see. It becomes the kind of kitchen people gather in and never want to leave. The primary suite feels like its own private getaway, complete with a custom walk-in closet designed with both function and style in mind. The bathrooms continue the home’s modern yet cozy feel with updated finishes that make everyday living feel elevated. Even the laundry room has been thoughtfully designed with built-in storage and a stackable washer and dryer to maximize convenience and organization. Step outside and the experience only gets better. Spacious front and back porches invite you to start your mornings with coffee while watching the sunrise or end your evenings relaxing under the stars. The private inground pool creates the perfect setting for Florida afternoons, while the fire pit area adds the perfect touch for cool evenings and gathering with friends. There is also a detached garage along with a full RV hookup, giving you room for extra vehicles, recreational toys, or visiting guests. With animal-friendly zoning already in place, this property opens the door to the country lifestyle many dream about, whether that includes goats, chickens, pigs, or simply extra room to roam. Major upgrades have already been completed, including a 2022 roof and 2022 A/C system, allowing the next owner to move in with confidence and peace of mind. Modern lighting fixtures throughout the home tie everything together with a stylish, inviting feel that perfectly balances comfort and character. Best of all, the home is being sold fully furnished, including décor, making this a truly move-in-ready opportunity where you can begin enjoying the lifestyle immediately from day one. Conveniently located along Florida State Road 31 with easy access to Punta Gorda, Fort Myers, and Port Charlotte, the property combines peaceful country living with accessibility to everyday conveniences. Nearby grocery shopping includes Winn-Dixie, Publix Super Market, and Walmart Supercenter. Medical facilities nearby include HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital, Bayfront Health Punta Gorda, and DeSoto Memorial Hospital.
