Welcome to your own slice of paradise! Nestled in a small, tucked-away gated community featuring recently paved private roads & lovely natural preserves west of the trail. This beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is the perfect lock-and-leave retreat for a snowbird or an effortless sanctuary for a full timer. It blends coastal convenience, peace of mind, and resort-style living perfectly. Located in a no-flood zone and just a quick 3-minute drive to the beach, this property is ideally situated between downtown Venice and downtown Sarasota, placing you minutes away from championship golf, premier shopping, and an abundant choice of top-tier restaurants. Step inside to find a light-filled open floor plan designed for effortless entertaining. The gourmet kitchen (2019) is a chef’s delight, featuring gorgeous solid wood cabinetry, stunning granite countertops, a breakfast bar, center island, and new appliances. A (2026) HVAC system ensures total comfort and peace of mind. The true showstopper is the enclosed lanai spanning the entire back of the house, offering a private front-row seat to a picturesque lake complete with a fountain and abundant wildlife. Outside, beautiful landscaping and a charming front patio welcome you home. Living here feels like being on vacation every day. Located just two houses down from the pristine, heated community pool, you can easily enjoy the lakeside cabana and its full kitchen for resident use. Best of all, a low-maintenance lifestyle is built right in—the incredibly low quarterly HOA fee of just $850 covers total pool upkeep and complete ground maintenance and irrigation. This community and its lovely lakes and natural preserves is walking friendly, biking friendly, golfcart friendly & best of all location friendly! The 2 car garage is loaded with storage cabinets right off of the laundry room!
