22317 LAIKA Avenue In a quiet corner of Port Charlotte, where the pace slows just enough to savor the evenings, this inviting pool home opens the door to an easygoing Florida lifestyle without stretching the budget. Set on a rare double lot, the property feels like it has room to breathe, offering both space and possibility from the moment you arrive. Mornings can begin with coffee under the covered lanai, where the screened pool glimmers just beyond, waiting for a refreshing dip. By afternoon, that same space transforms into the heart of the home, perfect for laughter-filled poolside gatherings, weekend barbecues, and celebrations that spill effortlessly from indoors to out. A convenient pass through window from the kitchen keeps drinks and snacks flowing. Inside, the kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with warm blonde wood cabinetry accented in maple tones, sleek stainless steel appliances, and polished granite countertops that tie everything together with a touch of everyday luxury. Whether preparing a quiet dinner or hosting a lively get-together, it's a space designed to keep life moving comfortably.The home offers both a separate living room and a family room, giving everyone their own place to unwind. Movie nights, quiet reading corners, or visiting guests all find their place here. Tile flooring throughout keeps things cool and low maintenance, perfectly suited for Florida living. Step outside and the second lot reveals itself as something special. Mature trees create a shaded retreat that feels almost park-like, a peaceful backdrop for relaxing at the end of the day. It is easy to imagine children turning it into their own world of imagination while adults enjoy the calm that comes with a little extra space. Plus, a 10x14 shed that is perfect for storing your yard equipment or to be used by a craftsman or hobbyist. Practical touches add even more value, including a dedicated irrigation well, hurricane protection, and a garage with an additional 5x8 area ideal for a workbench or hobby space. Recent updates like a 2021 roof and a 2025 water heater offer peace of mind, while the location in Flood Zone X adds another layer of reassurance.
