Stepping through the front door, your eyes are immediately drawn through the bright, open-concept living space straight to the property’s absolute crown jewel: a private outdoor sanctuary. Fully enclosed within a sweeping screened lanai, the expansive premium travertine paver deck features a custom, natural gas-heated pool and spa complete with a shallow sun shelf. Because neither neighboring home features a pool, and the yard is framed by lush, mature palms, the entire outdoor space feels completely secluded. Facing directly East, it serves as the perfect spot to unwind in total peace while soaking in sweeping, long-corner views of the tranquil Windwood lake and gorgeous morning sunrises.
Inside, the residence boasts over 2,100 square feet of thoughtfully designed, single-story living space that creates a seamless flow for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The interior is entirely carpet-free, showcasing durable luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring throughout, beautifully detailed with high coffered ceilings and fresh paint. The highly functional split-bedroom floor plan is configured with three spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms—including two suites—and a versatile den that functions effortlessly as a home office or fitness room. At the heart of the home is the chef-inspired kitchen, which serves as a natural gathering space complete with a gas stove, deep built-in pantry, elegant tile backsplash, comfortable breakfast bar seating for four, and inspiring water views. In fact, picturesque lake vistas can be enjoyed from nearly every rear-facing room, including the dining area, great room, and the luxurious primary retreat, which features dual, oversized walk-in closets and a spa-like ensuite bath.
Beyond its aesthetic elegance, this home is engineered for uncompromising peace of mind, maximum energy efficiency, and low-overhead living. It stands out with rare natural gas infrastructure, exceptionally low HOA fees that cover reclaimed irrigation water and gate security, and absolute freedom from CDD fees or Flood Zones. Premium updates abound, including updated modern switches, smart WiFi-controlled lighting, a flat tile roof, a brand-new water heater, and a 15-SEER Carrier HVAC system equipped with a whole-home UV light air purifier. For ultimate storm protection, the home features whole-house hurricane impact shutters alongside a remote-controlled exterior impact shutter designed to seamlessly protect your outdoor patio furniture at the touch of a button. To top it all off, this unbeatable location places you just minutes from the pristine shores of Nokomis Beach, Casey Key, the Legacy Trail, premier golf courses, and the historic dining and shopping of downtown Venice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the ongoing neighborhood fees associated with this home, and are there any extra hidden costs? A: One of the best financial perks of this property is its low-overhead living. The home has exceptionally low HOA fees, which conveniently cover gate security and reclaimed irrigation water for your lawn. Additionally, there are absolutely no CDD fees, and the property sits entirely outside of a designated Flood Zone, saving you significantly on monthly and annual expenses.
Q: How private is the pool area from the neighboring properties? A: The backyard is uniquely situated for maximum seclusion. Neither of the immediate neighboring homes has a pool, meaning there is very little ambient activity around your outdoor space. Furthermore, the perimeter of the yard is framed by lush, mature palm trees, creating a natural privacy screen around your screened lanai and travertine deck.
Q: What kind of storm protection does the property offer? A: The home is engineered with a sturdy concrete-block construction and features whole-house hurricane impact shutters for ultimate peace of mind. As a luxury bonus, it also includes a remote-controlled exterior impact shutter on the patio, allowing you to secure and protect your outdoor furniture at the touch of a button without having to drag it inside before a storm.
