18189 OHARA DRIVE, PORT CHARLOTTE, FL 33948

Some homes quietly check the boxes. Others stir something deeper the moment you arrive. From the soft rustle of palm fronds in the breeze to the glint of sun dancing across the canal, this custom 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom, 3 car garage waterfront estate in the Port Charlotte Beach area offers more than luxury- it offers a coastal sanctuary. Sailboat-accessible with no fixed bridges, 80 feet of waterfront, and a private 60ft dock with a 24,000lb lift, this is a property designed for those who feel most at home on the water-yet crave elegant living on land. Every inch of this residence reflects thoughtful design and enduring craftsmanship. The entry opens into soaring, light-filled spaces framed by arched passageways, tray ceilings, and stately columns. An elegant double-sided gas fireplace warms both the formal dining room and private office, while plantation shutters, crown molding, and curated finishes add warmth and sophistication. The heart of the home is its gourmet kitchen, seamlessly blending form and function. Solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances are complemented by an induction cooktop, built-in oven, microwave, warming drawer, and a wine bar with a wine fridge. Whether you're hosting holiday dinners or quiet evenings for two, the layout invites connection and conversation. The first-floor primary suite feels like a private wing, with a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-like bath that features a jetted soaking tub, Roman-style shower with multiple heads, and dual vanities. Upstairs, three oversized bedrooms and two full baths offer privacy and flexibility for family or guests. One bedroom enjoys an en suite, while the other two share a Jack-and-Jill layout. A secluded loft with a balcony offers a peaceful perch overlooking the pool-a perfect morning retreat or creative hideaway.  Step outside and the story deepens. A screened porch with double doors leads to the lanai with a heated saltwater pool framed by paver decking, lush tropical landscaping, and a custom tiki hut with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. It’s a space built for memory-making-from sunlit pool days to starlit dinners by the water. And beyond the beauty? The peace of mind that comes with knowing this home has been impeccably maintained: a new tile roof (2022), impact-resistant windows, new A/C systems with zoned climate control, new pool heater, pump, and salt system, new carpeting, and fresh interior and exterior paint. A circular paver driveway and side-loading 3-car garage offer convenience and curb appeal in equal measure. With no HOA, no deed restrictions, and no flooding or hurricane damage from recent storms, this home offers rare freedom along with its luxury. And the location places you just minutes from Port Charlotte Beach Park, the Sunseeker Resort, golf courses, restaurants, Punta Gorda airport, I-75, and the charm of historic downtown Punta Gorda. Whether it’s a full-time residence or seasonal escape, this is more than just a place to live—it’s a setting for the life you’ve worked hard to create.
