Welcome to this bright, open custom home featuring a spacious floorplan with three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a covered lanai and a sparkling 28x14 screened pool. Ideally located 5 minutes from Manasota Key Beach and just around the corner from great shopping, dining, and entertainment in the Venice area, including the New Atlanta Braves stadium! Situated in sought-after and friendly Gulf View Estates, a "Hidden Gem" deed-restricted community with low annual HOA fees of $325 and no CDD fees. This well-designed split floor plan perfectly blends space, comfort, and privacy. The formal living and dining rooms are filled with natural light, thanks to soaring ceilings and numerous windows. The spacious kitchen, breakfast nook, and family rooms provide easy access to the lanai, which includes a sparkling screened pool and convenient half-bath. The owner's suite boasts a tray ceiling, double French doors to the lanai, spacious double walk-in closets, and an En-suite Bathroom. Expect to be impressed with the owner's bath, featuring a raised double vanity and a designer walk-in shower big enough to include room for a large soaking tub! The two guest rooms and second bath are privately located on the opposite side of the home. A fully equipped laundry room leads to a two-car garage, which has been wired for an emergency generator. Additional features of this home include a new roof (Nov. '24), new exterior paint (Jan. '23), double-pane windows, 8-foot French doors (the family room doors have built-in blinds), hurricane shutters, tile floors throughout, plus the home has been replumbed. This home is on Public Water and Sewer. This well-maintained home is ready for a new owner!
