From the moment you step through the front door, your eyes are naturally drawn through the home to the stunning pond view beyond. High ceilings, abundant natural light, and a thoughtfully designed layout combine to create an open, welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. Over the years, thoughtful improvements have been made throughout the home, adding comfort, convenience, and peace of mind while complementing the lifestyle this beautiful setting inspires. The great room serves as the heart of the home, where two skylights fill the space with natural light and a large pocketing slider opens wide to the lanai. Throughout the main living areas, sliding glass doors create an effortless connection to the lanai, inviting natural light inside while keeping the peaceful water views front and center. The kitchen serves as a natural gathering space, featuring quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, abundant cabinetry, and ample workspace for everything from quiet mornings to hosting family and friends. Just beyond the kitchen, the sunlit dining area enjoys peaceful water views and direct access to the lanai. Custom plantation shutters throughout the home add timeless style and character while complementing the bright, airy interior. Privately positioned within the home, the spacious primary suite offers a relaxing retreat at the end of the day. Sliding glass doors provide direct access to the lanai and pool area, while tranquil water views create a calming backdrop. The ensuite bathroom features dual vanities, a soaking tub, private water closet, and a beautifully updated walk-in shower completed in December 2025. Walk-in closets provide generous storage, while every bedroom in the home offers its own walk-in closet. While the interior is welcoming, the outdoor living space truly captures the essence of Florida living. The screened lanai and pool area overlook the tranquil pond and create a private setting for relaxing or entertaining. A decorative fountain accented by charming manatee sculptures adds character to the pool area while enhancing the peaceful atmosphere. Whether enjoying your morning coffee, hosting family and friends, or unwinding at the end of the day, the water views provide the perfect backdrop. The updated pool bath features quartz countertops that coordinate beautifully with the kitchen, along with a large linen closet for added storage. Practical upgrades include a whole-house Generac generator, hurricane protection, and electric hurricane shutters for both the front entry and lanai. The oversized 2.5-car side-entry garage includes a storage closet, while the spacious laundry room offers cabinetry, a utility sink, and plenty of storage. A newly installed paver driveway further enhances the home's curb appeal. Located within the gated community of Venetia, residents enjoy a lifestyle centered around connection and convenience, with a beautifully appointed clubhouse, resort-style pool and spa, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball and bocce ball, and a full calendar of social activities that bring neighbors together. Just minutes from Historic Downtown Venice, Venice Beach, Wellen Park, CoolToday Park, the Legacy Trail, shopping, dining, golf, and everyday conveniences, this location offers easy access to the Venice community. This is the kind of home where the lanai becomes part of daily life and the best of Venice is never far from your doorstep. ¤ Please see 3D Tour and Video ¤
