About 1355 Grebe Drive
There are no neighbors behind you. No rooftops across the water. Just the mangrove line, the wide bend where two canals meet, and 190 feet of seawall that belongs entirely to you.
Tip lots on the rim canal almost never come to market in Punta Gorda Isles. This one carries a 2016 Arthur Rutenberg classic, designed deliberately to face it.
Mornings begin in the aquarium-glass dinette, where the sun comes up over the pool and runs the length of the canal. Coffee from the built-in bar. The water still glass at that hour, a heron working the mangrove edge.
But it is the lanai you will not get over. Step through the wall of sliders into 2,048 square feet of outdoor living under screen, 1,606 of it under truss and pavered in White Travertine. That is more covered outdoor space than many homes offer in total. An oversized Pebble-Tec saltwater pool with sun shelf, integrated spa and lit spill bowls sits beneath a Category 5 hurricane-rated cage with panoramic screen and a timer-operated No-See-Um misting system circling the entire enclosure and sundeck. The outdoor kitchen, rebuilt in 2025 with quartz counters, a stainless flat-top grill, a RecTeq smoker and a custom island, means you cook out here, eat out here, live out here. Dusk is not the end of the evening here. It is the best part of it.
Your boat waits on a 176-foot poured concrete dock running the full length of the seawall, with power, water and a 10,000 lb lift, Kayak rack and two drop-down ladders. Room remains for a second lift, with city permit, or for sailboat docking. Sailboat water, no fixed bridges, roughly twenty minutes out through Buckley's Pass to Charlotte Harbor, Boca Grande Pass and the Gulf beyond.
Inside, the home is the equal of its setting. Sealed Travertine with inlaid engineered hardwood, coffered and tray ceilings, plantation shutters and motorized shades. The great room gathers around a gas fireplace feature wall and opens completely to the lanai. The kitchen, with its granite island, GE Monogram appliances, coffee bar and walk-in pantry, is built for people who genuinely entertain, with a dual-temperature wine refrigerator serving both the dining and great rooms. Four bedrooms, three baths, a dedicated office and a three-car garage.
Then there is the part that lets you sleep. A Generac 22 KVA whole-house generator on a 1,000-gallon underground propane tank carries the home roughly two weeks. Hurricane-rated windows and doors, roll-down shutters and screens, Control4 automation, monitored security and audio wired through six zones. Close it up for the season and stop thinking about it.
Only the second owners in this home's history, here for winters over the past three years, have invested more than $90,000 in it. A new outdoor kitchen. Both air conditioning units. The entire pool equipment system rebuilt. Tankless water heater, new wall oven and microwave, and a complete landscape renovation finished this spring. Nothing deferred. Nothing waiting for you.
Golf cart to historic downtown Punta Gorda and Fishermen's Village. Full features sheet, FAQ and cost of ownership available on request.
Photographs can only carry a view like this one so far. Come stand on the lanai.
