This 2,344 square foot pool home is on a beautiful over 1/3 acre lot in the gated golf course neighborhood of Waterford in the heart of Venice. Go through the double glass entry doors and your eyes carry through the living room across the lanai and pool area to the beautiful golf course. Vaulted ceilings and lots of glass make this home bright. This split floor plan home boasts three bedrooms, two baths, a den, living room and formal dining room, eat-in space just off the kitchen, pool, bay windows, laundry room with extra storage and an oversized two car garage. In the kitchen, you will find an abundance of cabinetry, granite countertops, breakfast bar and eat-in dinette. The formal dining room is off the kitchen and makes it convenient for serving those special meals. The living room is spacious and includes triple sliding glass doors that lead to the lanai, which also allows you to extend your living space. The primary suite is on the back of the home for privacy and includes dual walk-in closets, bay windows, sliding glass doors to the lanai, and private ensuite with dual vanities, garden tub, walk-in shower and private water closet.
