One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. ALL IMPACT RESISTANT WINDOWS, SLIDERS, AND FRONT DOOR. This extraordinary Catalina model great room (3/4 bed, den, 3 bath) home, commands an elevated private lake setting. Thoughtfully and strategically designed, with whole-house hurricane rated windows (including double-front entry doors and all sliding doors), and an extraordinary amount of quality storage provided by closet systems and built-ins from interior to garage. Just a few of the homes many features: all bathrooms have quartz counters, kitchen has built-in oven with separate cooktop and convection/microwave oven, and built-in closet shelving in the den. Colored in warm tones of taupe, creme and chocolate brown, with volume 12' ceilings, tray and crown/moldings, handsome cabinets, porcelain tile and wood floors. Wall pocketing sliding glass doors merge its interior and exterior under screen spaces, effectively doubling the home's recreational footprint. The lanai has been masterfully finished, grounded by gorgeous marble stone pavers, multi-faceted under roof lounging areas and a spectacular Pebble-Tek heated pool and spa. The home's audio system, independently controlled by room whether inside or out, adds ambiance whether lounging poolside or entertaining. Together with maintenance of lawn care and high-speed internet and expanded cable service, residents enjoy a vibrant lifestyle with 27 holes of semi-private golf, full social membership at the club, an active women's association with over 45 groups, fitness, dining, tennis, pickleball, heated pool, and 24/7 guard house. Just minutes away are the quaint shops, dining, beaches, biking/walking trails, fishing, performing arts center, cultural venues and other recreational activities of Historic Venice Island, burgeoning Wellen Park, and greater Sarasota County.
