This exceptional home is a rare find, situated on a premium lot overlooking a lush preserve as well as a peek-a-boo view of two peaceful ponds. The extended paver-floored, screened-in lanai has a serene view of the large grassy, and fully fenced-in backyard, with ample space for a private pool, playset, dog run, or simply relaxing in lounge chairs under the Florida sun. The lanai is also pre-wired for a wall-mounted TV. Inside, the home is filled with thoughtful upgrades, including elegant plantation shutters and state-of-the-art smart appliances. Imagine starting the convection oven from your phone, ensuring dinner is ready when you return from a day at the beach! Pendant lighting above the island highlights the gorgeous quartz countertops, adding to the home's refined aesthetic. Impact resistant windows, hurricane-rated garage door and an EV charger in the garage, a whole house surge protector, and a FEMA elevation certificate of 15+ means you are protected no matter what. Flexibility is a key feature here, with two bedrooms currently serving as offices that can easily be converted into additional bedrooms, a library, or playrooms, depending on your needs. The Main Bedroom, in-suite, is outfitted with a privacy room, beautifully tiled shower, dual vanities and a large, walk-in closet. Venice Woodlands' amenities include a clubhouse, pickleball courts, bocce ball, and a resort-style pool. All can be enjoyed with a low HOA and NO CDD fees. Why leave the community unless adventures await just beyond our gates and up the road to the Carlton Reserve and Myakka River State Park, natures playgrounds. Venice’s stunning beaches, the newer Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and Downtown Venice, are also moments away. Whether you're an investor, a snowbird, or a homeowner seeking resort-style living, this property checks all the boxes. With access to fantastic amenities and a home that is so spotless you'd think it was brand-new, this is truly a move-in-ready opportunity.
