Welcome to your oasis of tranquility. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home by Meritage in The Palms, located in the esteemed Venetian Bay golf community, is a rare find as it is one of the only lots that sits waterfront with a view overlooking the lush preserve. Newly built in 2022, this house still has that fresh, new feeling. One of the standout features of this house is its abundance of natural light, thanks to expansive, beautiful windows that illuminate every corner and offer stunning views of the surrounding natural beauty. The bright and inviting atmosphere makes every room feel welcoming. Start your day on the screened-in, covered front porch, overlooking a lush preserve. The added charm of a fountain right in front provides the soothing sound of running water, enveloping you in peace and relaxation all day long. This home boasts an open concept design that combines the kitchen and dining room for a very inviting feel. High ceilings and ample natural light make the downstairs area a place you'll never want to leave. The kitchen is a dream come true with granite countertops, new appliances, and more cabinet space than you'll know what to do with. The second floor features 3 bedrooms and a loft space, perfect for a second living room, office, or media room to suit your lifestyle needs.

Outside, the house boasts an expansive grassy yard with direct views of the pond.
