SO much to love about this HOME in the gated community of Venetia. First the architectural details, finishes and color palette give the home a contemporary SW Florida Tommy Bahama-esque flair. The living space is bright and light, the three bedrooms are large, the kitchen is in the heart of the home, HUGE laundry room, the backyard has mature landscaping and tranquil pond view. Venetia does NOT have a CDD & has a LOW HOA. The primary bedroom is 17x12 with several lovely windows and a slider to the lanai along with an ensuite and TWO walk-in closets. The ensuite has a big walk-in shower, double vanity, water closet, & linen closet. The guest wing bedrooms are large with big closets. The living room and dining room (currently used as a sitting area) flow together and have soaring ceilings. (There is even a coat closet.) The kitchen has long Corian counters, closet pantry, breakfast bar and a dinette space with aquarium window overlooking the lush landscaping and pond, plus a slider out to the lanai. The lanai is a wonderful space to enjoy dining and relaxing. The laundry room has a huge PANTRY! & a sink. The garage is 20x20. The community amenities include a gorgeous pool, tennis courts, PICKLE BALL! basketball court , and bocce ball. This home has hurricane protection. Venetia is a gorgeous tucked away community with winding tree lined streets with tropical landscaping & yet still centrally located to all this area has to offer. It is just 4 miles to the Gulf of Mexico, 6 miles to Wellen Park restaurants and Spring Training baseball, shops and restaurants just minutes away, quaint historic Venice downtown is just 6 miles. The HOA allows you to care for your yard or hire a professional of your choice. Most of the furniture conveys with the home. There is so much to love and every reason to call this HOME.
