Welcome to this beautiful home at the heart of historic Venice island! Location, location, location determines the value of a home today and always. This stunning courtyard home is steps from fabulous restaurants and coffee shops, entertainment, wine and food festivals, the library and community center, the Venice Art Center with its galleries and art classes, the Venice Performing Arts Center. Bike to the beach or bike the Legacy Trail to Sarasota, go fishing and golfing and return home fulfilled and happy. This custom courtyard home is one of a few homes in exclusive Courtyard Homes of Venice. Built in 2010, it has been meticulously maintained by its original owner. Enter through the lovely iron gate (a unique feature of every home in this subdivision) and be greeted by the elegant entrance door that opens to the pool area and hear the sounds of a cascading waterfall. To the left, the sliding doors open and pocket up entirely bringing the outside in; perfect for entertaining. Upon entering the main door of the home, notice the open kitchen/dining/living room concept, with cathedral ceilings and great pool views. From the living room, look over the waterfall at the palm trees, sky and beautiful composition of tile roofs of the adjacent properties. Your courtyard home is very private, yet also open and beautiful! The kitchen will be a delight for the gourmet cook boasting a gas cooking stove, stainless steel appliances, ample solid wood cabinetry and a perfectly sized island. To the right, please find the generously sized master bedroom with walk-in closets, a large en-suite bath with oversized shower and plantation shutters. Wake up and go from your bed to the pool through beautiful French doors. Washing in the laundry room will be a pleasure, for it is a complete room with a sink, cabinetry and a window to the outside. Your guests will enjoy the privacy of the split bedroom design with the guest bedroom on the other side of the house. This large bedroom has a walk-in closet and a convenient adjoining bath. A comfortable "Casita" or cabana, office, flex room or second guest bedroom (whatever you wish it to be) stands separate from the main house. It has a large room and a lovely en-suite bath and opens up to the pool area (your guests will love it!). Last but not least, a door to the right of the pool leads to your own little serenity garden (a wonderful herb garden). A place of peace and quiet yet close to it all! Schedule your private showing today and discover this is the life you want and the home where you belong.
