Welcome to your tropical dream home in the highly sought-after gated community of Venetia, where you'll appreciate no CDD fees and low HOAs! Only minutes away from the sugar-sand beaches of the Emerald Gulf Coast, this spacious 4 BR, 3.5-bath pool home is the definition of opulence. The home is bounded by lush, professionally manicured Floridan landscaping that burst with life and tropical color everywhere your eye falls. Step through the front door and be wowed as natural light splashes across the bright and cheery painted walls of the open space living and dining room. A wall of glass sliders affords an astounding view of the private lanai, heated pool, and spa, where the water reflects off the high-volume ceilings on bright sunny days. Beyond the lanai, (newly painted and re-screened) a tropical preserve will give you perfect privacy as you use the outdoor built-in grilling area to entertain friends and family. The heart of the home boasts a large updated kitchen that is a chef's dream with beautiful granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, an expansive island, ample cabinets and storage space, stainless steel appliances (new refrigerator included!), and a combination oven-microwave. Steps from the kitchen is a separate oversized laundry room with a new washer and dryer, abundant storage for all your beach bags, two pantries, and a deep utility sink to wash away the sand from your day at the beach. The split floor plan offers a grand en-suite with newer, soft carpeting, private pool/lanai access, a sitting area, two walk-in closets, an updated luxurious master bath with marble flooring, and a soaking tub to soothe away all your cares. With two more bedrooms and baths, friends and family will have space to relax and unwind from the day's festivities. The fourth bedroom is currently used as an office but can easily be converted back into a bedroom. If you find time to leave your little slice of paradise, this gated community offers resort-style amenities. Socialize in the clubhouse, drink a margarita with friends in the large heated pool, or play a game of tennis, pickleball, basketball, or bocce ball on state-of-the-art courts. This hidden gem is only a stone's throw from downtown Venice, Wellen Park, and the Atlanta Braves Spring training facility. There are plenty of stores to shop in and restaurants to try. Come and enjoy the beauty of Southwest Florida and be the envy of all your friends and family. Metal artwork on lanai does not convey but seller will consider offers if buyers are interested.
