12131 VAUGHAN AVENUE, Port Charlotte, FL

Welcome to a beautifully updated hidden gem in Gulf Cove, approximately 15 minutes from the gorgeous beaches of Manasota Key! This inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath pool home with a 2-car garage blends modern style, thoughtful improvements, and the relaxed indoor-outdoor living that makes Southwest Florida so special. From the moment you step inside, vaulted ceilings create an open, airy atmosphere, while the uninterrupted sightline leads directly toward the sparkling heated saltwater pool. The open-concept, split-bedroom design features tile flooring throughout, modern light fixtures, and updated ceiling fans. A fully retractable five-panel sliding-glass door system opens the living room to the screened lanai, creating a seamless space for entertaining or simply enjoying Florida’s beautiful weather. Two bedrooms also feature sliding-glass doors leading directly to the lanai and pool area. At the heart of the open living space, the renovated kitchen features cabinetry installed in 2024, an oversized granite island thoughtfully designed with storage on both sides, a coordinating granite backsplash, and a dedicated coffee bar. Both bathrooms have been completely reimagined—the guest bathroom in 2024 and the primary bathroom in December 2025—with contemporary fixtures, elegant floor-to-ceiling tilework, and custom sliding-glass shower enclosures. Step outside and imagine sunny afternoons by the pool, peaceful evenings on the lanai, and effortless gatherings with family and friends. The pool was refinished with an epoxy surface and new tile in 2024, converted to saltwater in 2025, and enhanced with a heater in December 2025. The surrounding pool area was also freshly repainted. Additional improvements include a 2023 roof, a new irrigation system installed in December 2025, and septic pumping and inspection completed in August 2026. The solar panels are leased. Bring your boat, Jet Ski, and sense of adventure—this is where the Gulf Coast lifestyle comes to life! With no mandatory HOA and no CDD, the home offers a relaxed setting close to boating and outdoor recreation. Optional membership in Property Owners of Gulf Cove provides access to a private waterfront park, with boat-ramp privileges available through a separate annual decal. The home is offered unfurnished; however, the furniture and décor may be available for purchase separately. Conveniently located near shopping, boating, Englewood, and Manasota Key Gulf beaches, this distinctive Gulf Cove home is ready to be enjoyed!
