Imagine a morning that starts with coffee on your screened lanai, watching an osprey perched on a branch while resident herons patrol the quiet pond’s shoreline. This is life at Vista Del Lago, a quiet enclave of just 50 homes where the hardest part of your day is deciding which beach to visit. This is true Florida living! Offered turnkey furnished, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom villa (with 2-car garage) is designed for those who want to spend their time exploring, not maintaining. With the lawn and irrigation handled for you, you can fully enjoy low maintenance living in the heart of Venice. Vista del Lago is positioned in an ideal location, about 3 miles to Historic Downtown Venice and our famous Gulf Coast beaches just beyond. For peace of mind, this home features a new roof (2023) and is in the less-risk X flood zone. The screened lanai overlooks a quiet pond, a peaceful spot to enjoy Florida’s sunshine and watch the variety of birds who visit regularly, like egrets, ibis, herons and osprey. A gated front patio with tropical plants leads inside to a flexible floorplan with both a living room and family room/den area, easily customizable to fit how you live. High ceilings lend an open, airy feel with an abundance of natural light. There is ample space for an eating area off the kitchen, as well as a breakfast bar. The primary bedroom has water views, and ensuite bathroom and large walk-in closet. The 2nd bedroom is located at the opposite end of the home providing privacy for all. Indoor laundry room with washer/dryer and a handy utility sink. Lawn care and irrigation are included in the HOA fee, along with a heated community pool and Clubhouse for residents. Restaurants, boutique shopping, Venice Theatre, and Centennial Park for a variety of events and concerts are all nearby, as are the practical things like groceries, banks and medical facilities. For walkers and cyclists, the Legacy Trail and the Venetian Waterway are also close by, or play a round of golf at one of the many local courses. Whether you’re looking for a seasonal escape or a full-time residence you can truly make your own, this is a rare opportunity to secure a slice of the Florida dream in a community that feels like a well-kept secret.
