Experience the perfect blend of modern luxury, thoughtful upgrades and tranquil waterfront living in Palencia, one of North Venice's newer gated communities. Completed in late 2024, this beautifully appointed two-bedroom, two-bath villa with a versatile den featuring elegant glass French doors offers the appeal of nearly new construction with an impressive collection of custom enhancements already in place. Perfectly positioned along an expansive pond, this residence enjoys peaceful water views and an exceptional location directly beside the community clubhouse, resort-style pool and fitness center. Inside, a bright, inviting floor plan showcases ceramic tile flooring throughout, with no carpet, a professionally painted interior and custom ceiling fans in both bedrooms, the main living area and lanai. Impact-resistant windows and doors provide added peace of mind, while insulation in all interior walls offers an additional layer of comfort and sound reduction. Sophisticated motorized dual roller shades offer effortless control of natural light and privacy, transitioning from softly filtered sunlight to room-darkening coverage at the touch of a button. Thoughtful upgrades continue throughout the home, including professionally designed custom closets, two pantries and additional hallway storage. A whole-house generator provides another valuable layer of convenience and preparedness, while professionally sealed grout throughout the home, including the bathrooms, showers and kitchen backsplash, reflects the attention to detail found at every turn. Step outside to the extended screened lanai and adjoining brick paver patio, where picturesque water views create a beautiful setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining or evening relaxation. Additional enhancements include a widened brick paver driveway, gutters, and a garage featuring professionally finished epoxy flooring and freshly painted walls. The outdoor patio also features removable artificial turf over the existing brick pavers, allowing flexibility to suit your personal style. Beyond the residence, Palencia offers a welcoming lifestyle with a community pool, fitness center, dog park and scenic walking path that winds along the pond. Conveniently situated near the gated entrance, the villa offers easy access in and out of the neighborhood. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of North Venice without sacrificing proximity to everyday conveniences, including Publix, shopping, dining and Interstate 75. The beautiful Gulf Coast beaches and charming boutiques, restaurants and attractions of historic Venice Island are also just a short drive away. With its nearly new construction, extensive upgrades, exceptional waterfront setting and desirable location beside the community amenities, this remarkable villa offers an opportunity to enjoy the best of Florida living without the wait or added expense of making a new home your own.
