Stunning Lakefront Home with Pool & Countless Upgrades. This four-bedroom two-bath home is situated on an oversized corner lot in the heart of Venice. This spacious and meticulously maintained residence features a private front patio with pavers and a bright, inviting living room with newer floor-to-ceiling windows. The desirable split floor plan offers privacy, with the primary suite positioned to the right of the kitchen, featuring his-and-her walk-in closets and an en-suite bath. On the left side of the home, a cozy eat-in area with additional sliders to the lanai and a built-in desk/bar leads to a versatile bonus room, ideal for a home office. Down the hall, three spacious guest bedrooms offer ample closet space, including one with direct pool access, while the second bathroom conveniently features an exterior door to the pool area. At the center of the home, the beautifully updated kitchen boasts cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and a passthrough window to the lanai, making it perfect for entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area opens to the lanai through sliding glass doors, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The outdoor space is a true retreat, designed for relaxation and entertaining. A large screened lanai with updated pavers (2022) overlooks the heated pool and fully fenced backyard, which leads to a private deck with lake access. Lush custom desert landscaping enhances the tranquil setting. This home has been thoughtfully updated with a new roof (2020), hurricane-impact sliders and pool lanai door (2024), new windows (2021) with N60 heat-control film, a 200-amp electrical service and panel (2021), a whole-home surge protector, and a complete SimpliSafe security system ($4,000). Additional updates include a refrigerator and dishwasher (2022), a Wi-Fi-enabled hot water heater (2022), a generator/RV hookup, and an updated A/C system (2017). With no HOA restrictions, this property provides exceptional flexibility for boat or RV owners. Ideally located in central Venice, residents enjoy easy access to top-rated restaurants, shopping, recreation, and Venice Island’s beautiful beaches. Optional membership in the Venice Gardens Civic Association offers access to a community pool, park, playground, and events for just $165 annually. Best of all, this home is NOT in a flood zone.
