The story
Unit 60 at 15550 Burnt Store Road is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom mobile home in Punta Gorda, FL with 1,092 sq ft of living space, built in 1984. It carries a monthly HOA fee of $272.
This cute beachy style home is fully furnished with a great air conditioned 4 seasons lanai on the creek side of the park. That means plenty of privacy in the back with an old Florida view of live oaks and palmettos. It even has a stairway down to the creek below but is not part of the property. The home is very close to all the amenities and facilities of the Burnt Store Colony, a resident owned, 55+ gated community of only 236 manufactured homes located on Burnt Store Road, in Punta Gorda, Florida. In 2022 the Southwest Gulf Coast Community Association Institute voted Burnt Store Colony one of the top three South West Gulf Coast communities in which to live. In addition to all the amenities described below, the community maintains a wide variety of activities, dinners, dances, celebrations and just plain fun get togethers. Amenities include pool, spa, exercise facility, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard and bocce ball. There is a workshop with every tool imaginable, a trailer and boat storage area, dog park for those furry friends and 24/7 gate security. On the inside this home does not look or feel like a manufactured home. No cardboard-like walls or seams and no popcorn ceilings, as all the interior walls and ceilings have been redone in new drywall and freshly painted, new window, door, floor and ceiling moldings, recessed ceiling lights, and LVT floors, with the exception of the Master Bedroom which has brand new carpeting, an attached bathroom with shower and new glass doors. Given that the unit faces South and has a two car carport in the front, the interior is partially protected from direct sunlight, making it stay relatively cool year-round with much lower electric bills then other units of similar size. Finally it is well built, having survived Hurricane Ian with hardly any damage. The Burnt Store Colony Ownership Share (recently purchased) is included in the sale which gives you a share of the ownership of the park, a much lower HOA, and a vote on budgets and election of Board of Directors and officers of the the association.
