Description

A Rare Home of Timeless Beauty in the Heart of Historic Punta Gorda. There are historic homes… and then there are unicorns. Welcome to the iconic “Yeager House,” a 5 Bedroom, 2 Bath residence set on a corner double lot—bordered by one paved street and one charming brick road—in Punta Gorda’s treasured historic district. Unlike many historic properties that have been fully modernized inside, this home still feels like the 1920s. From the moment you step onto the wide front porch and through the front door, it is as if time slowed down. Hardwood floors, detailed built-ins, a cozy living room fireplace, and the natural light of another era create an atmosphere that is increasingly rare to find. Lovingly stewarded by its current owner—who deeply appreciated its architectural roots—the home has been carefully improved without erasing its soul. Major system updates completed in 2024 include a fully updated electrical system to current code with new main panel and subpanels. Wiring has been encapsulated beneath the raised wood structure, offering added protection from moisture and storms. Two new HVAC systems and a new pool heater were installed and elevated on platforms, along with new first-floor ductwork. The kitchen was renovated in 2024 with GE stainless appliances, granite countertops, a deep stainless sink with commercial-style faucet, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. The downstairs bath (remodeled 2019) features a large tiled walk-in shower with rainfall head, body jets, and handheld spray. Additional updates include a 2022 water heater, resurfaced lanai roof (approx. 2021), new washer & dryer (2024), updated lighting, and new ceiling fans. Outside, enjoy a private backyard retreat with screened lanai, in-ground pool, mature landscaping, outdoor fireplace, and detached garage—perfect for quiet evenings or entertaining under the Florida sky. Located just a couple of blocks to downtown Punta Gorda and its award-winning small-town food scene, and a block from Gilchrist Park, Charlotte Harbor, and the Harborwalk, you are immersed in Punta Gorda’s waterfront lifestyle—walk to Fishermen’s Village, Laishley Park, local restaurants, and year-round live music, festivals, & events. Historic. Elevated. Preserved. Rare. This is not just a home. It is a living piece of Punta Gorda’s story.
