A low-rise condominium community built in 1970, Essex House is part of the Charlotte Square complex in downtown Port Charlotte. The two-story property contains predominantly two-bedroom units arranged with both ground-floor and second-floor configurations served by stairs and an elevator. Units commonly feature open living/dining plans, eat-in kitchens, solid wood cabinetry and stone counters, window treatments, ceiling fans, crown molding, and a mix of primary-bedroom-on-main and upstairs layouts. Many residences include enclosed Florida rooms or balconies that overlook landscaped courtyards and pool areas. The community footprint emphasizes shared outdoor amenities: multiple heated swimming pools, tennis courts, shuffleboard, covered grilling areas, sidewalks, irrigation and exterior lighting, plus onsite storage and assigned carport parking spots. Interior common spaces include a refreshed lobby, laundry room, and an activity/recreation room used for gatherings and events. Operated as a 55+ friendly environment in many listings, the complex is walkable to the Port Charlotte Cultural Center, local restaurants, shops, and nearby medical facilities. The overall character combines modest mid-century construction with periodic unit updates, offering turnkey furnished options alongside as-is sales for investors or seasonal residents.
