Description
Welcome to this lovely pool home offering panoramic views of Lake Magnolia in the desirable Venice Gardens community. The exterior features beautiful landscaping and a wrought iron gate that leads you into a private stucco courtyard with a covered front porch. The home’s 4 year old hurricane impact windows, glass sliders and doors create a light-filled and protective interior that has been tastefully updated. The open floor plan boasts a family room, living room, dining room and 2 bedrooms with new Pergo flooring. The heart of the home is the custom kitchen, complete with 42” maple cabinetry, Corian counter-tops, deep cookware drawers, pull out spice cabinet, double pantry, wine storage, large stainless steel sink, new appliances, and beautiful tile floors. A home office area with a built-in maple desk, bookcase and file cabinets sits off the kitchen and offers lake and pool views. The master bedroom features an en-suite bath with maple cabinets, linen closet, cosmetic table, large Corian vanity and sink, walk-in tiled shower, tile floors and large walk-in closet. The spacious guest bedroom features a double closet for extra storage. The guest bathroom has a marble sink, tiled shower and tile floors and is perfectly situated off the guest bedroom, living and family rooms. Three glass sliders open to the expansive screened pool area which is privately enclosed on two sides by stucco walls. Pavers surround the pool, which also includes jets at one end, a raised flower bed, and all pool cleaning equipment. The highlight of this bird sanctuary area is the abundant wildlife (sandhill cranes, osprey, herons, egrets, cormorants, turtles, ibis, ducks and more) and the stunning sunrises and sunsets! The over-sized one-car garage with utility sink and cabinets offer more storage, as do the laundry room with washer, dryer and hot water heater. Enjoy peace of mind with a new roof and pool screen installed in 2022, upgraded HVAC in 2020, Flood Zone X insurance rates, lake pump for the irrigation system, public utilities, county tax rates and no HOA fees! This move-in ready home is less than 10 minutes from golf courses, YMCA, Shamrock Park and Nature Center, Venice Audubon Rookery, pickleball and tennis courts, the Inter-coastal Waterway and Legacy Trail for walking and biking, and shopping. Drive, walk or bike over the Circus Bridge to the vibrant Venice Island with its miles of beaches and charming, historic downtown filled with restaurants, parks, shops, entertainment venues and more. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this lakefront home where modern comfort, privacy and tranquility await you.
