Enjoy carefree living in an intimate gated enclave of just 55 Mediterranean style homes, only 3 miles from historic downtown Venice and its beautiful beaches, restaurants, boutiques and cultural events. Easy living as HOA covers all landscaping maintenance. Combine that with low HOA fees and no CDD fee, a heated resort-style pool, spa, clubhouse and numerous community events organized by the resident's social committee. This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom home plus a flex room for dining or a den, offers a 12ft foyer, 10ft tray ceilings, crown molding throughout, beadboard in the dining room and kitchen, plantation shutters, and tiled floors throughout the home, just to name a few quality upgrades. The owner's suite is private and comfortable with two walk-in closets, adjoining bathroom with dual sinks, granite counter tops, and walk-in shower. Numerous pocket doors throughout, and 8ft doors add to the home's grandeur. The 8' tall by 12' wide retractable sliding doors in the great room lead to a cozy paver lanai. The large pie-shaped lot in the back of the community provides privacy and wonderful views of two ponds and the woods in the back of the home-great for bird watching with your morning coffee. This home is equipped with hurricane impact windows keeping the home more quiet and more energy efficient as well. An added bonus is a new AC system installed November 2024 with a 10 year transferable warranty, and convenient upgrades too numerous to mention. Don't miss this opportunity to live in a lovely home in one of Venice's nicest and well maintained communities. Visit Grand Oaks-Venice community webpage for more details.
